@brycent_: This startup founder built two companies worth 20 billion dollars in the span of seven years, and successfully won the AI meta. Stripe just acquired OpenRouter for $7B, an AI routing and marketplace company built by Alex Atallah. Making it the second time in seven years that Alex has built a multi-billion dollar company. Alex was the previous co-founder of OpenSea, which at its height was valued at 13 billion dollars. But Alex has a marketplace playbook that he’s ran two times in a row, and it shows that he has a specialty in being early. Here’s what startup founders can learn from Alex building OpenRouter and OpenSea, and how you can implement his strategy directly into your company.

To be first is to be quick, even if let’s say I was early I would need to spend 2 years first learning everything and then make it website. It’s best to be early early, like 10 years early.
