The REAL Reason 99% Of AI Companies Will Fail
Every founder is being told to build an AI company. Alex Hormozi says most of them will be gone within months, and the best move is the exact opposite of what the market is saying.
Alex, co-founder of Acquisition.com and author of the Guinness World Record-breaking $100M series, starts with a story. A business was paying $11,000 a month for 11 virtual assistants to do data cleaning work. They were doing a good job. The system worked. The company then spent $350,000 to build an AI system to replace them. That’s three years of costs on something that was not even the constraint of their business. They still needed more customers. The AI project solved a problem that wasn’t limiting their growth.
Discover:
• Why a company wasted $350,000 automating something that cost $11,000 a month
• The reason most AI businesses will be “swallowed up” by the models
• Why stakes, not intelligence, is where human value remains in an AI world
• How delegating your hardest thinking to AI makes you weaker
• The building blocks analogy that reveals why most businesses are built wrong
• Why two businesses with identical revenue can be worth completely different amounts
• The revenue retention equation that separates $1M businesses from $100M businesses
• Why the fastest way to build a $1M business is NOT the fastest way to build $100M

Maintain domain expertise and judgment. If you don’t know math the best calculator in the world is still useless.

Too many people look for fast pumps. I’m looking for strong entries. Cardween is the kind of presale I’m happy to sit on.

Don’t wait for CEX listings — Cardween looks like one of those rare presales with actual fundamentals.

If you’re looking for one of those tokens you can grab early and hold into the bull run — CDN by Cardween might be it. Not many left with this kind of upside.
