"What do Roblox Anduril CrowdStrike and Apple all have in common None of them looked like obvious winners from the start. But they built something far bigger than anyone expected. We call these companies Modelbusters. Modelbusters either reveal a market thats much larger than anticipated or expand into new product lines so effectively that they break out of their original category entirely. Were talking about modelbusters now because we believe AI is creating many more of them. AI may be the defining platform shift of our time. Its changing how products are built how theyre distributed and how"

"Last month we introduced modelbusters - companies that grow far faster and for longer than anyone wouldve modeled. These companies emerge when founders pair a breakthrough product with the right business modelespecially during platform shifts when new tech primitives redefine whats possible. AI will produce the biggest wave of modelbusters yet and were watching the markets closely to help founders understand both the size of the total opportunity and how to capture it.
