Founder's Story · 2026-07-04 · 35 min
Daniel and Moe Seye explore how work is being rewritten by AI, layoffs, remote work, and a new generation that does not want the same corporate path their parents wanted. Moe explains why Silicon Valley still feels like a place living in the future, and why being around impossible-thinking founders can reshape what someone believes they can build. The conversation moves into Moe’s own journey from Coca-Cola employee to founder, why leaving a secure job felt like a leap of faith, and how his companies uncovered a major gap: millions of independent workers have flexibility, but lack the infrastructure that large employers used to provide. Key Discussion Points Moe explains why Silicon Valley remains valuable for founders, not just for fundraising, but because the culture makes impossible ideas feel achievable. He shares that while tech companies can now be built outside Silicon Valley, founders in AI and frontier technology may still benefit from spending time in that ecosystem. Moe discusses the AI agent boom and predicts consolidation, comparing it to past technology bubbles where many companies disappear but the strongest ideas survive.
