I stopped advising founders or “telling my story”. Because if we told the truth, nobody would pursue founding anything. Recently, a friend I met said: we must say it and the few that are left after we tell the issues are the real ones. Whatever the outcome, no stable, sane person.

China took manufacturing because of cheap labour. Then labour costs started going up and they’ve now automated so much that car makers like Zeekr have factories that don’t require light or labour for some of their operations.

Garry is 100% correct here. What happened is that we’ve seen them come and go. Negative pricing, big capital raisers. But it turns out the real moat is the complexity of the market. Money can’t win it. Knowledge. Founder market fit. Don’t die.
