Waiting might be your company's death sentence.10 years ago, I stumbled into a presentation on entrepreneurship.Presented by a professor from Berlin.At the time, running a venture felt as distant as flying to the moon to me.The only entrepreneur I knew was my uncle.He ran a construction business.Entrepreneurship, to me, meant tireless work. Endless effort.But this professor painted a different picture.The Internet, he said, made starting a business easier than ever.I was hooked.Two years later, I started my own venture.Three founders. One investor. €500,000 investment.But we didn’t stick to the simplicity he spoke about.We started a hardware and software company for wintersports.Did everything from scratch. Crazy. Even big companies don’t do that.We failed with the first product. Pivoted to an IoT device for e-bikes.This time, we got it right. Followed a lean approach.Reached break-even within the first year.Grew to a 7-figure profit margin via subscriptions.And another 7-figure margin through hardware sales.We grew too fast.We were inexperienced with building strong, reliable teams and processes.So we stepped back: Stability over growth at all costs.10 years after that professor raved about how easy it was to start a business, ChatGPT was launched. AI became accessible to everyone. The true game-changer.If using the internet was like having Iron Man on your side,Using AI is like having The Avengers and Justice League combined—limitless power and intelligence at your disposal.This time, I’m doing it right.I’m using AI to my full advantage.Every future business I build will be AI-first.And I invite you to join me on this journey.Are you an entrepreneur or an innovation manager within an established business?Then follow me to learn how to use AI for your venture.Let’s master AI-first strategies before our competitors do.Don’t sign your company’s death sentence by waiting to see what others do.
