I am sure many entrepreneurs are chomping at the bits to get a Generative AI startup going.

And, you are reading about hundreds of millions of dollars in VC funding being splashed on this quest.

Well, I want you to think differently.

No, you DON’T need huge funding to get your Generative AI startup off the ground.

You need to piggyback.

Please take a look at my new Generative AI Startup Strategy Case Studies course on Udemy. 

This is a momentous opportunity to create a million capital-efficient startups from India. A million from Africa. A million from Latin America. A million from China.

No different from the advent of the browser.

Or e-commerce.

Or the smartphone.

I am a huge fan of Bootstrapping by Piggybacking. 

No need to reinvent the wheel and do expensive development on the entire tech stack.

Don’t think full stack.

Think lean startup.

Think Piggybacking.

And, there is a massive Services opportunity around offering expertise in the platforms from Microsoft and Google to those trying to build Generative AI applications.

Bottomline: Both Product AND Services opportunities are abundant in the incoming technologies.
