The best new ideas often come from taking something that’s traditionally niche or expensive, and making it broadly accessible. In AI, the biggest opportunities will be from taking work that most businesses can’t afford or don’t have access to, and making it broadly accessible.
Airbnb is in the business of making things where you say “that will never work at scale” actually work at scale. This is a very cool launch.

What are the best AI Agent ideas out there right now?
Made a voice agent that answers any B2B startup questions. AI is wild. play.ai/agent/Aaron-mj…
The number one long-term thing you should do to spur economic growth is to encourage business formation and investment. This does the opposite.

AI Agents have the potential to democratize knowledge work in the same way that SaaS democratized software. And as we've seen in the past couple of decades with software, every time you make a service cheaper and more available, you dramatically increase the size of the total…
AI agents have the ability to fundamentally change the business model of enterprise software. Today, when you build a SaaS product, the primary business model is to sell seats that are tied to the end-users of your service. For "same store" sales, you can essentially grow at the…
One constraint of SaaS is that revenue growth is mostly tied to your customer’s headcount growth. The AI Agent business model is unconstrained by headcount, and instead driven by the productivity of the agent. This has major positive economic implications to software.
The next big breakthrough in AI is AI Agents. This is when AI goes from being used as an assistant to chat with, to using AI to accomplish complete tasks that a human might otherwise have to perform. This moves AI from being a "read-only" operation to fundamentally a "read/write"…
Bill Joy, the cofounder of Sun Microsystems, famously said “no matter who you are, most of the smartest people work for someone else.” What’s crazy is that in the world of AI Agents, that could finally no longer be true.
The cool thing about AI is this is Zuck unleashed. There’s a brand new platform opportunity, the market is early and up for grabs (and there will be multiple winners!), and it uniquely leverages the strengths of Meta. The breakthroughs in this space will continue to be wild.
iRobot stock is down 90% since Amazon announced an intent to acquire it and then was blocked. Blocking non-monopolistic M&A only makes it less likely to fund risky ideas, because there are fewer exit opportunities. Bad for innovation, ironically fine for incumbents.

The Google situation is a reminder that if you build software for a living, there’s a chance at some point it will be used in areas not always aligned to your personal beliefs. This is true at every layer of the stack: from the chip to the app layer. This is what you sign up for.
Incredible to have Meta out here pushing open source AI forward in such a major way. An amazing moment to be building software when you have $100s of billions of dollars from the major tech players going into advanced R&D and infra that directly benefit you as a developer.
This makes no sense for any party involved. Salaries will drive viewership which drives revenue which drives salaries.
The two biggest biases you’ll run into when doing a startup are from people that know *too* much: 1. This problem is already solved and doesn’t need a new solution 2. Every time this problem has been attempted to be solved it never works Sometimes you just need fresh eyes.
Generally speaking expect your hair to go gray at a rate of 10% per funding round, until you go public when the rest turns gray after your first earnings call.

Fun fact: during Box’s Series B we were in the midst of pivoting to the enterprise, with an untested freemium model, and running out of runway. The strategy was speculative. Every partner we pitched passed, but one associate (@mamoonha) fought to push the deal through, saving us.
