Small teams are the future. Right now is the best time ever to launch ...
AI lets you build faster than ever, meaning you don’t need to raise as much money from VCs. The opportunities are endless, and we’re just getting started. I’ll share some lists of ideas in the comments.
I’ve never been so excited about the future of globally scalable tech companies!! 🚀
FOUNDERS - there has never been a more exciting time for hard-working super ambitious founders to start a company and scale using smart technology and AI. Go go go. 📈
Some recent examples that prove what’s possible:
- Cursor by Anysphere: 0 to $100M ARR in 21 months with 20 people
- Bolt by StackBlitz: 0 to $20M ARR in 2 months with 15 people
- Lovable 0 to $10M ARR in 2 months with 15 people
- Midjourney 0 to $200M ARR in 2 years with 10 people
- Mercor 0 to $50M ARR in 2 years with 30 people
- ElevenLabs 0 to $100M ARR in 2 years with 50 people
- Aragon.ai 0 to $10M ARR in 2 years with 9 people

They should also look at customer satisfaction. Lovable product is incredible, their support is worst on the market. High revenue but overwhelemed and too stretched and a highly unpredicatble product.
Their approach to support is just refunds to shut you up as they have no time to look at problems.
These are great vanity metrics but they are also building highly frustrated customers that are not loyal to the brand, just to the technology. Hello! Check out our Kickstarter for FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) for education, chips, and boards.

These are going to look like large teams in less than 5 years. Open source will be the catalyst for this.
SMALL IS COOL 😎
Bolt in Tallin has 1,000 to 5,000 employees according to LinkedIn - which I think is different to Bolt.new ? 🤷♂️
