AI Startups and Wealth Creation

Humankind has been on the lookout to create wealth probably since the earliest settlements started taking shape. Nowadays, we mostly equate wealth with money but in fact, money is just a form of wealth. For people of the early ages, wealth may have been something much simpler like access to food and water. Similarly, even though the term startup was popularized in recent times, such endeavors have existed for centuries in one form or another.

Wealth creation has always been a popular and fascinating topic of discussion. It is the central point of numerous conversations. In contemporary times, this discussion becomes even more interesting as we enter the age of artificial intelligence.

Since this topic is so close to heart at Openfabric, we decided to divide this discussion on ‘Wealth Creation in the Age of AI’ into a three-part blog series. Be on the lookout for the later articles, as each one unveils something useful at the end.

In today’s post, we will understand how startups came to be widely known as the ultimate mode of wealth creation.

Part 2 is dedicated to understanding the important distinction between wealth and money.

In Part 3, we conclude the discussion with how the age of AI is set to bring about a massive change in all aspects of life. In addition, we will see the impact it has on wealth creation.

Enter The Startup

Before moving on to the high-tech startup of today, let us talk about what a typical startup is.

At the core of it, a startup is all about solving a difficult problem. It consists of a small group of individuals who come together and focus their time and energy on figuring out an optimal solution to this problem. They aim to address the pain points of their users in a manner that delivers an excellent user experience.

As opposed to larger corporations, startups are not weighed down by bloated organizational structures and lengthy decision-making processes. The small team size ensures an agile and quick response to problems and plays to their advantage.

Startups compress the typical working life cycle of a company into a few years. Instead of going slowly at a problem for decades, the team in a startup works countless hours at high intensity to come up with a running solution. Not surprisingly, this hard work pays off handsomely in terms of wealth creation.

Making change happen

An intriguing aspect of startups is how they innovate and figure out solutions that do not currently exist.

Since new things are created daily, it might not seem like a difficult task? On the contrary, the human mind finds comfort in following pre-existing patterns. This creates an inherent resistance against trying out something new.

Therefore, thinking about a new idea and transforming that idea into reality is truly a great achievement of the human mind.

At this point, it is pertinent to mention that all creations are not equal and some are more valuable than others. You can read about the three levels of creation in our blog series on the topic.

Startups are so highly valued because they excel in creating new and innovative solutions. This not only makes them so special but in turn, this is precisely what leads to wealth creation.

The blueprint to wealth creation

It can be rightly said that the simplest blueprint for generating wealth is to build a startup that solves a real, technical problem.

If startups are the best way to create wealth then why doesn’t everyone do it? Let us take into consideration this important fact: Not all startups succeed. In fact, 9 out of 10 startups end up failing. It is typically an all-or-nothing game.

If a startup manages to solve the problem successfully and get enough users that find value in the product then it is sure to go big. On the other hand, the chances of failure are very high.

The situation may seem dire and you might say that with such a high rate of failure, building or joining a startup is not worth the risk. But all is not lost. There is a way to increase the odds of success and this brings us to the role of technology.

Disruptive technologies like AI have leveled the playing field and made the startup proposition much more attractive. The right tools like Openfabric have proven to be a total game changer. In Part 3, we will take a deeper look at how technology has transformed the whole landscape for the better.
