00:00I think the thing that's really different about now versus, say, even a decade ago is
00:05the number of people you will need to build a company is actually going to be much less
00:09than you needed in the past.
00:11Why?
00:12Because of what AI is going to do to how we work.
00:14And so if a company is starting now or especially a year from now, I can easily envision a company
00:19getting to 50 or 100 million in revenue with 25 employees because they'll have a bunch
00:25of synthetic employees as well doing a lot of the work.
00:29And so that's a really big difference because then the people you bring on board as your
00:33core team need to be exceptionally good because the synthetics are going to be providing leverage
00:39for them and then to be able to work that way.
00:41So I think talent is going to become more complicated.
00:44I mean, it's always difficult.
00:45But in startups, they'll be like, well, this is, like, OK for now.
00:49He'll be good enough for the next 18 months, get me to the next stage, and then I'll get
00:52somebody else.
00:53I don't know if you could do that anymore in a world that we're entering to in the future.
