# Thoma Bravo says the 'SaaSpocalypse' is over

**[The Next Web](https://daily.dev/sources/tnw)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Thoma Bravo founder Orlando Bravo declared the 'SaaSpocalypse' over at SuperReturn International, citing AI as a tailwind for software companies with roughly half of new portfolio revenue now coming from AI and agentic sources. However, the recovery is uneven: infrastructure and consumption-priced businesses like DigitalOcean and Datadog are surging, while seat-based SaaS companies like HubSpot and Monday.com remain deeply depressed. Snowflake's CEO pushed back on the all-clear, urging caution. Meanwhile, real costs of running AI agents are mounting — Uber capped per-engineer agentic spend at $1,500/month, and Microsoft reportedly pulled back on Claude-powered agents. The share-price panic may be over, but the deeper structural repricing of software toward usage-based and AI-native models is still playing out.
