Cracking edition, Ruben and Chris - this one reads like a front-row seat to where the money, power, and ideas are moving in real time. The $2T OpenAI roadmap feels almost like a nation-state strategy now, not a startup one, and the GEO playbook shift could quietly rewrite how every founder thinks about visibility.
What stood out most for me was your take on founder control through structure: Page’s long game at Google is such an underrated lesson in strategic patience. Do you think we’re about to see a similar era of founder “reclaims” as AI capital consolidates and boards get twitchier?
If you mean the "adult supervision" vs "founder mode" - I think the back and forth of Founder CEO or Corp CEO is eternal. Founders and boards simply need to be both unified and bet correctly on the optimal leadership combinations that find killer ways to build for market dominantion 🌞
Such a great read. Important to have the strategies in place for success.
Thanks!!
Thanks mate. Let's get the "live" organized when I'm back from Malta 🌞
