As Amazon conquered the Internet, the next trillion-dollar giant will deploy AI across all 1,057 NAICS industries, solving problems for countless personas, ripe for disruption. Each solution—a unicorn in its own right—represents a trillion-dollar opportunity in aggregate, especially with quantum computing and the Metaverse on the horizon.
But here’s the secret sauce: no world-changing company can scale without a product management rock star. One with sellside and buyside capital markets expertise, a strong Rolodex, and deep understanding of finance can bridge the gap between technological innovation and strategic capital deployment. These talents unlock the key to both growth and access to the capital needed to realize the vision.
The founders, such as those behind companies like Trace Machina, a fast-growing startup that raised $4.7 million from leading VCs with its NativeLink simulation testing platform to update safety-critical applications, who recognize this aren’t just launching products—they’re building ecosystems. With the right product management leader onboard, especially someone who intimately understands the magic behind asset value creation—from revenue and EBITDA to cash flow—tracing it from its literal source code all the way through to financial outcomes, you’re setting the stage for meteoric success. Why settle for a unicorn when you can build an entire herd?
Because true dominance requires not just great tech, but brilliant strategy, and even more brilliant connections.
