It’s what we’ve seen. Enterprise doesn’t want to invest in legacy technologies, should expect CRMs, legacy SaaS and others to continue a downward slide. AI will fragment the market, similar to YouTube and entrainment, actually. Until eventual consolidation. For now, Workflows AI is your enterprise’s bridge to AI.

Many Y Combinator hopefuls have been denied today. And that’s ok. Jim Carrey was outright rejected from SNL. Even Tom Brady (the 🐐) was barely drafted in the final round. You’re in control of your own destiny. It’s impossible for anyone else to assess your value out of thousands of applicants. In celebration of entrepreneurs and the Workflows AI public launch next week the first 10 people that reach out to me with their YC rejection get a free plan from our AI cofounder, Alfred. Alfred will create your business plan, pitch deck, pro forma, go to market strategy and more. #startups #vc

Warren Buffett also says … only work with people that you like, trust and admire. If those three premises are true, you’d work for them, too. I’ve found this to be the case in my career. Successes come from those situations. I remember one year at Ordermark…I reveiwed 5000 resumes to make the first 50 hires once we had a seed round. The number other main traits we were screening for besides skills were candidates that truly wanted our specific jobs.
