E71 Kicks Around the ‘New Normal’ for Startups

In this brief and engaging episode 71 of Localogy’s This Week in Local podcast, co-hosts Mike Boland and Charles Laughlin talk about something that involves a number of themes featured on the podcast and Localogy Insider. Namely how is AI, and technology in general, influencing a new normal in how startups launch and scale.

I found a video featuring several well-known tech bros talking about how the Golden Era for startups where Silicon Valley chefs and office managers get rich on startup equity is over. I shared the video with Mike and it became a discussion thread for the pod.

The gist of the bros’ message was, that today equity is for founders. And everything else is automated or outsourced.

Our discussion on the pod involves whether this is regrettable. Or is it just a new normal we all need to accept?
