Assembling a squad of up to 9 founders to test the zero-employee startup hypothesis together. Not for equity sharing, for learning acceleration. Link below 👇. If this resonates, DM me.

Severance is one of the best shows recently. Spoiler Alert!. They explore such a crazy idea: split one consciousness and you get two entirely different characters. Same person, but completely different personalities, values, relationships. What does that say about identity?.

Building and launching in 6 months will soon feel like corporate bureaucracy. Why aren't we measuring progress in weeks already? . Speed of learning is the new moat.

Using @diabrowser with /graham skill feels like living in The Matrix. Every time I check someone's profile, I feel like Neo spotting agents. Graham instantly analyzes: "IQ: A. EQ: B. Type 3 Achiever. Playing infinite games.". Feels unreal.

Prediction: . The moment AI agents can do jobs end-to-end, all founders become more like investors. Which means as a future founder, you'll need an investment thesis, not just a product idea. You'll be able to deploy agent swarms across multiple parallel experiments, like an.

The AI training cost curve is wild. $200M models become $1B models become $10B models. Revenue doubles, but costs multiply by 5x. It's like watching the world's most expensive game of chicken unfold in real time.

The @AnthropicAI story is fascinating :. 7 co-founders with equal equity splits, defying every Silicon Valley rule about cap tables and "too many cooks.". Most VCs would run screaming. Yet they built one of the most valuable AI companies in the world. Sometimes the "wrong".
Anthropic is one of the fastest-growing businesses of all time. @DarioAmodei and I chatted about flying past $5b in ARR, Anthropic's focus on B2B, payback economics of individual models, talent wars, AI market structure, and lots more. And you all said that you all want longer

Digging into predictions about massive wealth growth and millionaire creation:. Ray Kurzweil: Exponential tech progress = exponential economic output → If wealth grows 1,000x by 2050, does everyone get rich through technological abundance?. Jensen Huang: "AI will create more.

Wealth creation has already accelerated 4x without AI. Imagine what happens when we add the biggest leverage multiplier in history.

The hardest part in the AI world isn't finding a new tool. it's unlearning 20 years of 'hire someone for that' reflexes.

Interestingly, the fastest millionaire growth is happening outside the US - China went from 0 to 6M+ millionaires in just 22 years.

1,000+ new millionaires daily in the US alone last year. Worldwide? 2,000+ daily. All with similar needs. AI could 10x this rate. I see a new market forming: .600M people with $1M+

Why do investors still ask 'how will you hire for growth?' instead of 'how will you automate for growth?.

The longer i build with AI agents, the more insane traditional hiring seems.

This is why I love YC. When most people say you're crazy to build companies with zero employees targeting $1M ARR, @ycombinator pushes you to think multi-billion. Now I feel like I'm aiming too low.
It's now possible for small, high-agency teams – even solo founders – to build multi-billion dollar companies with as little as just $500k in funding from YC.

Most founders quit before they develop the judgment that comes from systematic failure analysis. Persistence paid off with the listing. Congrats to the team!.

Love this. Making complex expertise accessible = more people can build hardware companies.

Building for the New Rich . My hypothesis: If AI creates massive productivity gains (some say +100x), we'll likely see 10x more millionaires globally. That's potentially 600M+ wealthy customers vs today's ~60M. Every founder's dream market, and it might be forming right now.

Real estate just got 10x better. Every buyer now gets institutional-grade market intelligence. AI handles the research, analysis, and deal sourcing. You make the decisions. No more hoping your agent knows the market. Want early access? DM me.
