Now on YouTube: @dharrisindc (CEO, @buildersbackers) on why "More Startups, Fewer Jobs" is the defining shift in entrepreneurship. Job creation down 33% since 1997. AI accelerating faster than infrastructure can adapt. Crisis or signal? ▶️ youtu.be/6zagTfL5YbA

The video version of my @Scalebrate Small Team Big Scale episode is live on YouTube. More startups, fewer jobs — and why that might be a feature, not be a bug, of our new economy. ▶ youtube.com/watch?v=6zagTfL5…

All of the "AI is causing job loss" conversations seem to run on one track: - How do we retrain workers? - How do get them new jobs? But almost nobody is asking another (more important) one: - What if more of the displaced became builders rather than employees?

Getting your first customers is hard. Turning them into repeatable sales is harder. New Builders Field Guide shows you how. buildersfieldguide.substack.…

Your first customers aren't going to find you. You have to go get them. That scares the 💩 out of most founders. But they're closer than you think. 10–20 real people. That's it. New Builders Field Guide shows you how → open.substack.com/pub/builde…

.@pmarca @bhorowitz You're right. America needs more builders. After 25 years and thousands of companies, I've built the AI infrastructure that actually expands who gets to build. At scale. For everyone, everywhere. Sent you the vision. Here's what's possible: 🧵 (1/7)

The result: More builders → more companies → more that eventually have venture economics → stronger pipeline for institutional capital. This is the infrastructure layer that makes American Dynamism real, expanding who gets to build while creating better deal flow. (6/7)

.@KTmBoyle said it perfectly: "There is dignity in building new things, small and large." I've built and proven the AI infrastructure that makes it real, expanding who gets to build, for everyone, everywhere. Let's collaborate. (Email sent) (7/7)
