Eleanor Crespo on Pigment and Agentic Planning

Eleanor Crespo, co-founder and co-CEO of Pigment and the host's former CEO, describes Pigment as an AI business planning and decision-making platform serving enterprises from Anthropic and Coca-Cola to Unilever, Uber and Siemens, with revenue doubling every year for three years on the way to roughly $100M ARR. She explains how agents — including the just-announced modular agent and one-click Excel-to-Pigment model conversion — collapse planning cycles from months to minutes and open modeling up to everyone in a company. On the "SaaS-pocalypse," she argues most SaaS companies are in trouble and survivors must transform into operating systems for agents with data, distribution, and ecosystem moats. She notes CFO appetite has flipped so that adopting AI is now the safer move, citing C-suite meetings at BlackRock and Vanguard.
