Founders often ask me: “Arto, how can I have a $100 million exit?”

(Even the founders of early stage startups.)

Over the 10 years of my work with startups, I’ve learnt that this is the #1 psychological question.

Now, it’s time to answer this once and for all.

👉 You can forget about exit until you create value.

Your main goal is to create maximum value for your customers.

More value for customers, more value for shareholders.

Forget about the exit for the next 5-10 years until you reach this 

The bigger your value, the bigger the future exit.

P.S. Is your product already creating value?

1. OpenAI’s Operator: A New Era of AI-Driven Task Automation

OpenAI has unveiled Operator, an AI agent that performs tasks independently on the web. Using its own browser, Operator can handle repetitive tasks like ordering groceries, booking reservations, and even creating memes—all by interacting with websites just as a human would. Currently available to U.S. Pro users, this research preview aims to refine the agent’s capabilities through real-world feedback.

Why It Matters:

Operator helps entrepreneurs save time by automating repetitive web tasks like booking appointments or placing orders, freeing up more time to focus on growing their business. With its smooth integration into everyday tasks, it’s an essential tool for increasing efficiency while ensuring control and security.

2. Google DeepMind Unveils Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking: A Game-Changer for AI

Google DeepMind has introduced its groundbreaking Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking, a free experimental AI model that has taken the top spot on LM Arena’s leaderboard. This advanced model achieves impressive results, scoring 73.3% on AIME (math) and 74.2% on GPQA Diamond (science) benchmarks, demonstrating new highs in mathematical and scientific reasoning.

Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking also brings enhanced features like code execution, a 1M token content window, and improved consistency in its thought-answer responses. This milestone represents significant progress, just months after its first release in December, marking a new chapter in AI-powered problem-solving.

Why It Matters:

The launch of Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking pushes the boundaries of AI’s capabilities, offering new potential for businesses to leverage advanced scientific reasoning and problem-solving in real time. With the ability to process more complex tasks and execute code flawless, this model could help entrepreneurs streamline workflows and unlock new opportunities for innovation.

3. Reid Hoffman’s Vision for AI: Empowering Human Agency

"Superagency" by Reid Hoffman offers a powerful perspective on AI. Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, makes a compelling case for why we shouldn’t fear AI but rather embrace its potential to create new opportunities, improve jobs, and elevate the quality of life. His vision centers on using AI to augment human potential rather than replace it.

What stands out is his concept of smart risk-taking. He compares it to how cars evolved in safety—each new feature tested, refined, and adjusted based on real-world use. Hoffman suggests a similar approach for regulating AI with small, iterative improvements, presenting a balanced path forward.

He emphasizes that AI should work with us, not against us, enabling us to stay in control while accelerating towards new possibilities.
