".@nicolasosharp CEO of @attio on how the founder role changes: 0-20 people: "You do everything. While you wait for code to run you log into Xero and do accounting. While walking to coffee you answer Intercom tickets. It's this crazy cycle." 20-50 people: "You should have a team much better than you at everything. The role shifts to building the team setting vision keeping the company solvent. Hire great people don't run out of money." 50+ people: "At XX people I could tell you what anyone was doing that day.

""Even small percentage increases can mean a really really big impact at these large companies." This is why Sauraj Gambhir's team at @prior_labs is not selling a simple API. They use a model license (Foundation Model approach) to push the tech directly into production. The fee is base + variable tied to the performance improvement it drives. They are getting paid based on: Improving patient outcomes (lung disease detection) Preventing rail infrastructure failures (with Hitachi) Increasing mortgage application approvals You must capture the value you create"

"Should Europe compete on foundational AI models No. @etnshow on why: "Europe doesn't have the magnitude of funding. @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI are investing tens of billions. @MistralAI is investing singular billions. It's an order of magnitude different." "Government alignment in Europe is more cautious. The US and China are willing to run at this. Europe is like 'let's stop understand the risks.' You can't compete with two superpowers who have more funding and take bigger risks." But: @pbotteri (@Accel): "Some of the core innovators where AI is being disruptive are coming from Europe.

""There was something really special. but the rest of the world wasn't seeing that." @twehmeier on the founding moment for the @atomico intelligence work.

""In the absence of truth-seeking speed is just motion not progress." @ric0seq Partner at @PointNineCap: "Entrepreneurship is not a scientific endeavour. It's artistic craft." "To start a company and believe reality can be bended by what you think reality should look like is self-expression not execution." Scientists seek universal truths. Founders bring their personal vision of what could be true. "You deal with uncertainty when you have a canvas and need to start painting. The space where originality lives is in the white canvas." Speed without truth-seeking is just motion"

"Goodbye "year of agents." Hello "year of builders creating agents." @romainhuet (Head of Developer Experience at @OpenAI): "2025 was supposed to be the year of agents. It's been true. But first and foremost we want developers and builders to create their own agents." By spending time with developers OpenAI realised what was hard. That's why they launched: - Agent Builder - Agent Kit - Forward-deployed engineers "When the technology enters contact with reality we are there to support them and take feedback into insights.""

You can see his impact in policy in the people the Trump administration brings into government. They understand that technology really matters." Europe's problem: "We need the same thing here. Not just lobbying and influencing but having our own candidates. Developing people who want to go into government. Helping them out." The Slush model: Young people spend a few years at Slush.

One big client might try to dictate your product roadmap. "Maybe XX% of it is true and XX% you really have to stick to what you do." Trial and error to find that balance. "In the early days we were constantly afraid we were making the wrong decision. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter if you made a mistake." They threw away their first product. Now it's back. "There's no customer too small. We work with one-person"

It's an order of magnitude different." "Government alignment in Europe is more cautious. The US and China are willing to run at this. Europe is like 'let's stop understand the risks.'

"To start a company and believe reality can be bended by what you think reality should look like is self-expression not execution." Scientists seek universal truths. Founders bring their personal vision of what could be true. "You deal with uncertainty when you have a canvas and need to start painting. The space where originality lives is in the white canvas."
