Invest in You is a global podcast where Fredrik Sandvall shares ideas and conversations with entrepreneurs, investors, and operators. The show explores investing, entrepreneurship, AI, and personal development with a focus on long-term value, ownership, and clear decision-making.
Occasionally joined by his sons, Charlie and Ivan, the podcast blends experience with a next-generation perspective. The goal is simple: help you think better, act with intent, and build a life and portfolio that compound over time.
In this episode, Fredrik breaks down the massive structural shifts occurring in the 2026 global stock market. With nearly $1 trillion wiped off software valuations recently, Sandvall investigates the re-pricing effect of AI. He argues that while traditional Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) models are struggling due to their reliance on human labor and per-seat pricing, the market is aggressively rewarding companies that control the physical and technical infrastructure of AI, like cloud computing, cybersecurity, and semiconductors.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The market is punishing ‘workflow’ companies (SaaS) that monetise labor and human headcount, while rewarding ‘infrastructure’ companies that monetise outcomes and compute power.
Giants like Microsoft and Oracle remain ‘durable’ because their deep enterprise integration makes them extremely painful and expensive for businesses to replace.
AI isn’t just a software upgrade; it’s a tool that allows small teams (e.g., five people) to operate with the output of fifty, fundamentally changing corporate value structures.
Investment is shifting toward the ‘plumbing’ of the digital world, semiconductors, data storage, and energy supply, all of which are essential for AI to function.
BEST MOMENTS
“AI is not just disrupting industries; AI is re-pricing and exposing things that were usually linked to labour. It’s re-pricing how labour is contributing to production.”
“The question is: Can you monetise an outcome, or do you monetise the labor? Right now, with AI amplifying everything, I would rather pay for an outcome than the man-hours spent on it.”
“Like any city without the plumbing, it’s not the right place to be. AI plumbing is here to stay.”
“Software is a feature, not a platform. With AI, things like digital signatures become a functionality that is easy to work around and build yourself.”
“Capital leaves footprints, and it takes long before headlines explain them. Usually, no one is trying to analyse what it actually means underneath the big red titles on the screen.”
