Join the newsletter: https://joinalphabytes.substack.com--This episode explores the fundamental question of asking whether it's now possible to grow a business/startup into $1 billion by a single founder. In 2025, I would have said no. But in 2026, a lot has changed, and things are now accelerating. We try to answer this question from first principles and look at what's happening in the current space i.e. OpenClaw, AI Agents, swarms, Service as software etc.
