I bet we're about to see a lot of 10-person $100M+ ARR companies emerge. That's a scale where teams can be tight and excel.

- y0eswddl 9mo agowhen. people have been saying that since 2022. when and how. hmm?? show your work. or is this just more slype being spewed...
- SkiFire13 9mo agoI think something around that scale (say maybe 20 employees, but definitely not hundreds) was possible even before LLM got popular, but the people involved needed to be talented and focused. I'm not sure if AI will really change that though.
- automation2026 9mo agoIn 2014, Facebook acquired WhatsApp for $19B and they had 55 employees
- BobbyTables2 9mo agoCorrection: 55 grossly underpaid employees!
- gizajob 9mo agoIf you can build that with AI, then 9 people with AI can probably wipe out that company, only to be wiped out by 8 people with AI…and so on.
- pjerem 9mo agoNot necessarily. That's the old "I made Twitter in a weekend" joke. That's not because you can technically replicate a product that your company will be successful. What makes a company successful are sales forces, internal processes and luck. Both are extremely difficult to replicate because sales forces are based on a human network you have to build, internal processes are either organic or kept secret, and luck can only be provoked by staying alive long enough, which means you need money.
