The breakout companies of today started by calling their shot...
In retrospect, it's clear that the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in 2023 marked the ceremonial end of one startup era as we begin a new one.
That 15-year cycle was defined by increasingly standardized and tracked paths for building startups.
Tracks for founders. For employees. For venture capitalists. Roundtables. Market Maps. Playbooks. Themes…so many themes.
The track, it was believed, will save you. The starting point is secondary to just getting on.
This era is being defined by the opposite — Founders who are intentional in their pursuit of specific goals...not generic themes.
SpaceX → Go to Mars.
OpenAI → Build AGI that benefits all of humanity.
Flock Safety → Eliminate crime.
The stakes aren’t about fighting market share but about fighting for the future.
At or near founding, these leaders point to a specific point... far on the horizon... that shows us all the shape of the future.
They then work intently — day by day, year after year — to forge a path between today’s reality and that future.
They call their shot.
