How to Catch the AI Wave for Your Startup

Looking back at my entrepreneurial journey, I can see how much of my success was about good timing—catching the “wave” of technological changes—the internet boom, web hosting, SaaS—and more. In my book Start. Scale. Exit Repeat. I dedicated an entire chapter to catching the wave of tech changes at the right time to accelerate a startup.

Each has created a paradigm shift in the market, transforming individuals and industries.

We can see how some tech crosses the Tech Chasm—a concept coined by Geoffrey Moore—like robot vacuums or Bluetooth devices. Or how many advancements have NOT crossed the Chasm—like Apple’s Newton tablet or Google Glass. And some, the jury is still out as they struggle to move out of the chasm, like NFTs and VR.

Now, in the 2020s, AI is the next wave rushing in to transform every industry. Recently, on Startup Club, we discussed how startups can wield AI to grow their businesses. While many companies are implementing AI to become more efficient and faster at what they do, entrepreneurs can leverage it in a totally different way—to solve problems and innovate tomorrow’s solutions now.
