[The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 @startupideaspod]

Sam Altman predicted the first one-person billion-dollar company.

Matthew Gallagher built a $401M company in year one with $20,000, AI tools, and zero employees.

This year he's on track for $1.8B. With 2 people.

The playbook has changed:

Old path:
- Come up with an idea
- Fundraise from friends or VCs
- Hire a team
- Build the product
- Hope it works

New path:
- Start with an audience (X, Instagram, TikTok)
- Vibe code something for that audience
- Build a community around it
- Automate fulfillment with AI agents
- Repeat

That's the new barrier to entry is a laptop and an idea.

VC STARTUPS
- odds of IPO for VC startup: 1%
- avg time spent on VC startup: 8.5 years
- market cap avg @ IPO: $5B
- avg % ownership @ IPO: 15%* $5B = $750M
- avg 2.5 cofounders = $300M
- payout = odds * $$$ = 1% * $300M = $3M
- payout per year = $3M/8.5 years

= $352,000/year

[@levelsio @levelsio]

- avg VC funded startup founder works 75 hours per week (grindset)
- $352,000 / 50 weeks (2 weeks off) / 75 hours
- hourly pay = $94/hour
- equal to pay of a regular 40 hour per week job with salary of $180,000/year

Startup meme from the archives #79

Programming is changing. Fast!

The attached code example uses Gorilla, an open-source Large Language Model that specializes in writing API calls.

Gorilla kicks GPT-4's butt at this task. It's also much better than ChatGPT and Claude. The team claims the model is very reliable and reduces hallucinations. They currently support more than 1,600 API calls, and you can contribute yours.

To use the model, you start with a natural language query. Gorilla will produce an API call you can invoke.

Look at the attached example. I ask the model to detect any Spanish text in an image and translate it to English. The model produces the code I can use to do that. It's awesome!

The productivity of every developer worldwide would go through the roof if we had a reliable model that knew how to use any library or framework. (The thing that excites me the most is the ability for anyone to contribute to the model!)

Forget the documentation; just write me some code!

I can't help but wonder whether we are working ourselves out of a job. As these models improve and write better code, what'll happen with software developer jobs?

Heres a Mix of my Midjourney images that i've put through Runway Gen 2 this afternoon.
So far getting hit or miss, some images just come out still and some do really weird shit.
So lots of wasted credits.
But when it works ... its great.

@marclou After looking at my emails 2 days after my chatgpt+ subscription, I've got the gpt4 API access

[Franck Valentino @FranckValentino]

@marclou Some people say when you subscribe to ChatGPT+ you get access in the week. I can't say if it's true or not, I've got my access at the end of March
