I flew first class once ever, I had to save a shitload of air miles.
Then some guy with his kids take their seats “daddy, it’s not as good as emirates is it”
To this day fuck that kid.
Naval Ravikant: “The future will be almost all startups”
“I firmly believe that the efficient size of a company is shrinking very rapidly, and so the future will be almost all startups.”
In the clip below from a 2012 interview, Naval speculates that information technology will reverse the centralizing force of economies of scale following the Industrial Revolution.
“I think the contract work trend is going to increase, and I think the size of your average company is going to decrease. I think we’re going to see more and more billion dollar businesses built by four or five people, and it’ll stay at that.”
He doesn’t think we’ll see many more companies like Facebook or Google with tens of thousands of employees:
“I think any entrepreneur worth their salt could today build Facebook with a few hundred people… Facebook and Google are in the situation that large companies end up in where the founders know that 80% of the people are not really needed, they just don’t know which 80%.”

I wanna make this kid famous on tech twitter.
Read this post...this is baller stuff.
I was on a run and this kid @marvy_101 stopped me. Was on his bike, chased me down, and was out of breath, ha!!
He wanted to show me a new app he built.
Its called One Click Apply and lets students apply to lots of jobs at once.
He posted about it on his Linkedin. Went viral with 1,700 comments.
He's from Nigeria. Been here for 2 years for school.
Said he interned at Tesla last summer and has an internship at @Dell this summer.
Told me: "I wanna work on my One Click app this summer instead of an internship, but can't afford it."
Check out his twitter and blog. I'll share it in the next tweet, along with the cool app he made.
Looks like he's tinkering and making really cool apps + sharing with his tiny audience.
1. What a baller
2. These attributes (willingness to run me down to show me this, already make cool products) are what future ballers look like when young.
If you wanna work with him, fund him, whatever...DM this kid. Seems very promising.
His name is Oluwapelumi Dada.
Hey @MichaelDell, you should talk to Oluwapelumi.
