Large model companies will likely build this and make it better. It'll also be cheaper overall since they'll be subsidizing token cost if you use them directly vs third party router paying API costs
>Every important computing platform has been defined by what people built with it. The PC became meaningful because developers built software. The web became meaningful because developers built websites. Smartphones became meaningful because developers built apps. We believe augmented reality will be no different.
At a $2195 price point, it just won't be possible to have an ecosystem. All the other platforms mentioned were orders of magnitude cheaper. That being said, I do think AR has real utility, but the price discovery will take a while
Those were consumer apps, not B2B. No deep niche experience needed, Uber had to fight regulations but wasn't something industry knowledge would've helped with a ton
I wonder if this approach to starting a vertical business the founders have 0 experience in has ever panned out. I know YC pushes the B2B SaaS angle as hard as possible, searching for "underserved" niches, but seems like if you don't have true industry experience, it can't possibly work out.
Why didn't you found yourself at any point? I understand gaining experience as a founding engineer, but after a certain point, you need to work as hard as the technical founder, take the same career risk, for way less payout
I would define that as success. My definition is the feeling of success in the eyes of the founders, not millions of dollars or whatever hyped up benchmark
were your projects in spaces you were familiar with? I feel like that makes the dart less random. Also I feel like it's hard to get customers/users on calls
