I help new brands break into major retailers — from idea to shelf. Been in Tech & Energy for years, and low-key obsessed with crypto. Always happy to connect.

One month ago everyone was bullish.
Today everyone is scared.
The market didn’t change.
The narrative did.
And in 2026, narrative moves faster than fundamentals.
OpenAI just raised $110 billion.
Not million. Billion.
$110,000,000,000.
That’s the largest private funding round in history.
And instead of calming AI bubble fears —
it made them worse.
Wall Street’s new question isn’t “will AI win?”
It’s “who’s going to pay for all of this?”
Same sector. Same day. Completely opposite results.
$NVDA: -4.4% (beat earnings, still falling)
$DELL: +21.9% (AI server revenue to double in 2027)
The market has spoken.
It doesn’t want the chip maker anymore.
It wants the company selling the picks and shovels to the AI gold rush.
Dell’s AI server revenue: $13 billion.
Growing 40% year over year.
Nobody was watching Dell.
That was the mistake.
Jack Dorsey just laid off 40% of Block’s workforce.
4,000 people. Gone.
The reason he gave?
AI.
“We’re slimming up because AI can do what they did.”
This isn’t a struggling startup cutting costs.
This is a $40 billion fintech company telling you the AI job replacement isn’t coming.
It’s already here.
