• Building an AI-native startup requires more than a standard process.
• Founding a business cannot be a commodity due to lack of moat or point.

Founder’s Perspective

Some experts believe that founding a business is not something that can be formalized or commodified.

Feels like a category error. It’s a slide deck telling people what a product can do, but the thing it tries to sell you on is building your own business based on their tool.

AI’s Impact

AI has simplified the building process, but selling remains a key aspect of a founder’s role.

AI has changed the build for sure, it is a lot easier to build now, a lot easier to practice multiple copywriting ideas, do market research … etc.

Risks and Concerns

Building a startup on AI can be risky, especially for those outside the US, due to potential geopolitical issues.

Especially as someone outside the US, building a startup on AI sounds like a bad idea. Some AI company fails to pay their bribes on time, or your country doesn’t cede territory to the US president, the AI gets yoinked and you are left with Mistral or Qwen.
