🦄 Silicon Valley’s new flex: $10B startups with 10 people

Forget fancy campuses — the hottest AI unicorns run on skeleton crews + GPT juice. Ilya Sutskever’s Safe Superintelligence is valued at $5B with 10 employees. Adept? 25 people, $1B. Midjourney? 49 folks, $10B.
AI doesn’t just write code — it’s killing the org chart, starting with managers. No team leads, no syncs, no Monday decks. You build or you bounce.
📉 Harsh truth: the leaner the team, the fatter the valuation. Great for founders — rough if you’re a “people person.”
