Leverage is a force multiplier for your judgment.

— Naval Ravikant

Reflection

As a founder and investor, I love seeing small teams do work that used to require an army. Code, media, capital, distribution... it’s 🤯 how far they can get with limited resources. What we talk about less is that the same leverage can multiply a bad decision. The more leverage you have, the more your judgment matters: which problem to solve, what to build first, who to bring along, and when to change course. You can feel incredibly productive while building the wrong things or diluting your efforts by going too wide. AI is incredible, but it still requires sound judgment.

Looking forward,
