In this talk, Krasi Bozhinkova shares her views on how product strategy can improve in this era of Infinite Capacity. In 2026, when anyone can ship in a weekend and the marginal cost is collapsing to zero, velocity is no longer a competitive advantage; it’s the baseline. The new scarcity is judgment: choosing what’s worth building before you commit attention, reputation, and resources.

Key topics

• The impact of AI on product speed and decision-making
• Why speed is an amplifier, not a strategy
• The importance of judgment and trust in product success
• Case studies: Humane, Duolingo, Miro, Lavable
