Transcript excerpt

Stripe is buying OpenRouter, the software that routes you to different LMS depending on what task you are doing. And they're buying them for $7,000,000,000. But what's really crazy is that less than ninety days ago, the valuation of the business was 1,300,000,000. But there's actually something very, very interesting about the founder that most people don't know. He also founded OpenSea, the NFT marketplace platform. And at its peak, it was a $13,300,000,000 valuation and the founder stepped down when that happened. His name is Alex Atala and I think that he might have have to get a little bit of credit for being one of the better founders of our generation, a, at building businesses, but b, at just riding hype bubbles and leaving the exact perfect moment. First OpenSea, then open better. What's best? Open robotics? Count me in as an investor or so. Give me a follow-up for more AI news and breakdowns on how to use it in your business.
