AI won't magically replace companies
Nope — we’re watching the perfect storm form that will enable the disruption.
The next generation that can’t get jobs is being compelled to make their own path — and they will by leveraging AI.
They’re not going to wait for permission.
They’re graduating into a market that’s frozen.
They have debt.
They have parents who probably can’t support them indefinitely.
And they’ll compete with the companies that won’t hire them.
We’ve seen this before.
When the dot-com bubble burst, a wave of founders emerged—not because they wanted to, but because they had no other option.
I was one of those people.
Same in 2008.
Jobs vanished. So some built.
And that necessity—economic, not just opportunistic—sparked a generation of iconic companies.
Now, in 2025, we’re here again:
- Entry-level tech roles have dropped over 50% since 2019 [1]
- Over 2 million new grads are walking into a market that isn’t hiring [2]
- And AI is automating the exact jobs they’d typically start in [3]
This next generation won’t go quietly just like every one before them.
They’ll capitalize on the technology. They will embrace the impossible and push forward wildly and through the darkness with courage and naivety.
They’ll use AI. Because we’re making them compete.
That’s how the cycle goes.
Old systems freeze.
New minds break through.
