you know, facing disruption due to artificial intelligence.

Uh, there was a recent story.

Everlane was acquired by Sheen Everlane, you know, darling of Silicon Valley, you know, raised a bunch of venture, very strong mission ultimately to get swallowed up by the beast that it sought to displace.

Uh, Michael, uh,

The founder is a buddy of mine.

He seems very fired up.

There was a leak earlier today that he's working on something new in apparel.

What is your kind of general advice to somebody that wants a company to have mission primacy?

There's no Stripe Atlas equivalent today.

You can't just go press a button and make one of these.

But how does somebody get started?

Yeah.

This is great timing.

I was talking to a founder yesterday.

I was giving them advice and they're with an idea that a lot of people have raised venture to do in the same way Bezos talks about your margin is huge.

It's my opportunity.

I was telling this founder, your competitors raising venture is your opportunity because they're going to have to do a bunch of things that aren't really aligned to what would make the products great for customers or what would make the product that you really want.

And what I like about this approach is setting things up in a way

that a lot of the problems that you're talking about are problems where you have other shareholders and there's other people that have a stake in what you're doing.

And most businesses will end up that way over time.
