Thanks The Tech Brief for recognizing Tyler Niday in this esteemed group of fellow Founders.
The best founders are no longer building what's easy. They're building what's defensible. 🛡️ This week's Founders of the Week profiles five "Deep Experts"—innovators who rejected hype cycles and focused on solving fundamental, high-friction problems: 🛠️ Fintech | Zaid Rahman, Flex Built a complete financial OS for mid-market business owners, achieving exceptional multi-product adoption fast. AI Voice | Mati Staniszewski & Piotr Dabkowski, ElevenLabs: Near-$200M revenue run rate by prioritizing superior model quality over raw computational power. Neuroscience | Max Hodak, Science : The post-Neuralink strategy: building a new BCI that works with biology, not against it, for decades of stable signal. AgTech | Tyler Niday, Bonsai Robotics: Focused on adoptable autonomy: retrofittable, human-controllable robots reducing farm operating costs by 45%. Consumer | Laurențiu-Victor B., Bible Chat: Broke through the funding drought by combining faith, mental health, and operational discipline for mass scale. The Lesson: They didn't parachute in; they lived inside the problem space long enough to see the solution clearly. Question for VCs and Builders: Which sector is most in need of a "Deep Expert" next: Energy or Space? 👇 ➡️ Read the Full Deep Dive: https://lnkd.in/eA_kuUeJ — Matthias Lee #TheTechBrief #FoundersOfTheWeek #DeepTech #VentureCapital #AI #Fintech #Startups
