Darren Mowry, Google's global VP for startup partnerships, warned that thin-wrapper and aggregator startups are on borrowed time: "the industry doesn't have a lot of patience for anymore." He cited Cursor and Harvey AI as examples of viable "deep moat" approaches where AI is deeply integrated into domain workflows rather than layered atop API calls. This is the clearest platform-gatekeeper signal for builder strategy in months. Builder takeaway: If your product is primarily an API wrapper with a UI, the clock is ticking. Build deeper. CNBC
