As a cofounder, your core work is making strategic bets, raising capital, and building trust with your team, investors, and customers. AI becomes a powerful tool that lets you do more with less, but carrying the risk and setting the direction of the company cannot be handed to a machine. Your role changes mainly because you now have to master AI to keep pace with competitors.
Screen / desk work
Much of the work happens at a screen with documents, models, and communication. Those exact tasks are extra exposed because text, analysis, and numbers are what AI handles best. The work that does not happen on screen, like building relationships and leading people, is safe.
