AI Startup? Only These Three Things Will Make Me Invest

Описание: I cloned a typical $10B SaaS product in a single weekend using Claude. If software is now free, what actually makes a startup investable?

The era of "technical moats" is over. With AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT, the cost of writing code has crashed to near zero. If your entire business model relies on a clever app wrapper, you are in the danger zone.
In this video, I break down why I’m no longer funding "just software" startups and reveal the only 3 defensible moats left in the AI era (The 3 D's). If you want to build a unicorn in 2026, you need more than just code—you need Deep Expertise, Distribution, or Data.
What you'll learn:

Why "Code" is no longer a competitive advantage
The "3 D's" Framework for investable AI startups
Real examples of unsexy but highly profitable AI business models
How to pivot your pitch if you're building a software product today
