Sam altman on 'Why the Best Founders Are Generalists' Sam Altman believes that the most successful founders are generalists. At first, you might focus on a specific skill or technology, but as your startup grows, your role must evolve. You move from just building a product to building an entire company—and that requires mastering the art of generalization. Being a generalist means having a broad understanding of key areas like hiring, strategy, finance, marketing, and team dynamics. You don’t need to be an expert in every field, but you must learn enough to make strong decisions, lead effectively, and connect the dots across your business. Great founders constantly learn and adapt. The ability to see the big picture while understanding the details is what creates lasting success.
