Founder: Companies should send business operators to learn AI, not the reverse
vasuman · x · 2026-10-17
Varick Agents founder vasuman argues companies are spending millions in the wrong direction: sending AI experts to learn business, when they should send business operators to learn AI. His reasoning rests on asymmetric learning curves — business judgment (working capital, inventory trade-offs) takes a career to build, while experienced operational teams can master agentic tooling, evals, and model orchestration in months. His firm pitches end-to-end agent systems that replace whole process chains rather than single tasks, claiming a finance team can operate like it's 3x the size. Note the post doubles as promotion for his consultancy.
