"At Sequoia, we see that speed is the best predictor of start-up success. Most companies are focused on AI as a productivity enhancer. Few are focused on the potential of AI to change how we work together."
"We're already seeing that the intelligence tools we're creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company."
"Most companies using AI today are giving everyone a copilot, which makes the existing structure work slightly better without changing it. We're after something different: a company built as an intelligence (or mini-AGI)."
Companies are increasingly flattening their organizational structures and eliminating middle management. Jack Dorsey, CEO of Block, predicts the complete extinction of middle management. In a co-authored essay, Dorsey and Roelof Botha argue that traditional hierarchical structures hinder information flow. They emphasize the need for companies to utilize AI not just for productivity but to fundamentally change how teams collaborate. Block's recent layoffs reflect this shift, as they aim to create a more agile and intelligent organizational model, similar to trends seen at other companies like Amazon.
