Strategic Theses
AI Becomes Infrastructure
Artificial intelligence stops being a standalone product category and becomes embedded into nearly every business system.
Software Becomes Abundant
The cost and time required to build software continue falling dramatically.
Companies Get Smaller
Small teams using AI will increasingly compete with organizations many times their size.
Data Becomes More Valuable
As models become broadly available, proprietary information becomes a major source of competitive advantage.
Distribution Remains Scarce
Creating something becomes easier. Getting attention, trust, customers, and distribution does not.
Leadership Becomes More Important
When execution becomes abundant, choosing the right direction becomes the differentiator.
