Did Zapier just create the weirdest B2B growth play of the year?
This week on Notorious B2B, Tas and Tim get into the customer who legally changed his name to Zapier for lifetime access, the iced coffee job interview debate taking over LinkedIn, and Meta Muse going rogue on Facebook Marketplace.
And somehow, there’s more: OpenAI’s Dots release getting trolled, AI tech houses have become a thing, B2B trying to vibe code tool replacements, and a LinkedIn feature that got us excited even though it should’ve been table stakes years ago.
Somewhere between a legal document, an iced latte, and an AI agent giving out your address, B2B had a very normal week.
If you've got a take, drop it in the comments or send this to someone who needs it.
