AI makes building easy, so the product isn't the moat anymore. Defensibility shifts to GTM, networks, data, and speed. Big companies can't match a founder's urgency. Bullish for early stage.

A friend raised a point today that put me back on my heels, though I suppose it should be obvious by now: “It looks like customer facing companies will have to choose their market in the US, and it has been cut in half. Gonna be tough to capture the entire US anymore.” American consumers must be approached as a bifurcated market: you see Red, or you see Blue. Two different realities.

My default position is that it's all propaganda, either way, but it delights me to see the priesthood of medicine dismantled. https://xcancel.com/HHSResponse/status/2008955963470950858
