How AI is disrupting the VC and startup ecosystem
Briefly

The startup playbook that propelled companies like Uber, Airbnb, and DoorDash is rapidly becoming outdated due to advancements in AI and software. Companies can now achieve profitability with fewer employees and lower start-up costs than ever before. Automation across marketing, design, and data management allows startups to scale efficiently. The traditional method of seeking venture capital for growth often dilutes ownership and is increasingly less promising. With AI's role in streamlining processes, the new paradigm is capital-efficient, immediately profitable, and smaller in size.
Starting a company the 'old' way was coming up with an innovative idea, followed by creating a minimal viable product and getting users.
As a result, revenue scale is being achieved with the fewest number of employees ever and profitability is soon to follow suit.
