Naval Ravikant: “The future will be almost all startups” Naval Ravikant predicted in 2012 that company sizes would shrink dramatically. He believed that technology would make economies of scale less relevant, allowing tiny teams to build billion-dollar companies. And he was right. Today, AI, automation, and remote work have made it possible to build massive businesses with just a handful of people. The old model—huge offices, thousands of employees, and endless bureaucracy—is fading. Naval even said, “Any entrepreneur worth their salt could today build Facebook with a few hundred people.” Large companies like Google and Facebook are bloated. Founders know that 80% of employees aren’t essential; they just don’t know which 80%. The opportunity? Lean, high-impact startups. 5-10 smart people. AI handling repetitive work. A global, internet-first approach. The result? More wealth, more freedom, and fewer gatekeepers. The future isn’t corporate giants. It’s small, powerful teams changing the world.
