/ About this event

Pickaxe is hosting a night for people who are tired of renting their business.

The average agency runs on a dozen subscriptions and owns none of them. Inbox in one tool, CRM in another, then bookings, content, the site, SEO. Hundreds of dollars a month to rent a stack your clients could rent themselves, from vendors who can reprice you tomorrow.

We think that era is closing. Not because SaaS gets cheaper, but because software stopped needing to come off a shelf. When an agent can reshape a module on request, customization stops being a six figure engagement and becomes a conversation. The tools bend to the business instead of the business bending to the tools.

THE NIGHT

5:30 Doors open. Grab a drink. 6:00 An open discussion on the future of software. What agentic software actually changes, what happens to companies that sell seats, and what it means if you build or resell software for a living. We will show what we have been building at Pickaxe, then hand the floor to the room. 7:00 Food, drinks, and networking. Stay as long as the argument is good.

Come if you run an agency, resell software you did not write, or just want to argue about where this goes.
