Pre-2025:

Startups and founders took pride in their head count and how much they were staffing up.
 

2025+:

  • The smartest startups/businesses are growing the business at 10x the rate of headcount growth.
  • They can do this only because of AI.
  • They're using AI for:
      1. Engineers
      1. Product managers
      1. Data analysts
      1. Customer support (hopefully with My AskAI)
 
What took a team of 3-5 people a year ago, will soon easily be done by 1 person. Significant head count growth is now a negative signal about a company.
