Give us the good stuff.

It would have been 10 hours a week of researcher.

I'm experiencing the same thing.

When I do research notes, I've created my own like mega...

prompt yeah and it will go and like tell me where you worked before and who's in your circle who your competitors are who your friends are blah blah blah and then go far i try to find old podcasts is one of my secrets if you're an interviewer watching i try to find what was the person talking about five years ago 10 years ago and then over 10 years ago and i've gone into interviews now with michael dell and talked about things he was talking about in the 90s yeah and it finds me some ancient stuff like you would pay a researcher a producer

$70,000 a year, $80,000 a year to do this and they would have done a third of the job in 10 times longer.

It's really gotten weird just in the last six months.

What do you think the next six months looks like?

Yeah, it's a great vision because when I watched startups 20 years ago, there were so many checkboxes they had to do.

I have to find an office space.

I got to put up a bunch of servers.

I got to hire an HR firm.

I got to hire a PR person, all this stuff.

And now I talk to young founders.

They got a three-person team.

They've come out of A16Z, my program, Launch Accelerator, whatever it is, Y Combinator.

And I'm like, OK, you raised a half million, you raised a million.

Who are you hiring?

And they're like, I don't know if we need to hire anybody.

I'm like, if you could hire somebody, would you hire?
