Anchor Collab
Editor’s note · FT.News Editor
Anchor builds a desktop bridge between Figma, Linear, and the editor. The wedge is that they refuse to ship an AI assistant. Their pitch deck literally has a slide titled "No copilot." That's the counterprogramming angle: every other team in their cohort is racing to be the agentic IDE; Anchor is selling craftsmanship as the differentiator. Worth watching whether the market still pays for that posture.
