Ridge CEO Sean Frank says his company has had zero AI-related layoffs, but AI is skyrocketing productivity: Ridge will add over $100M in new revenue next year, possibly needing only 10 hires. Email designers are doing 10x the designs, product devs 5x the iterations, and media buyers get instant deeper insight across more accounts. He predicts NVIDIA-level revenue per person will become common everywhere. jacobposel adds that the best operators he knows are extremely AI-pilled with no obvious financial incentive—maybe AI really is just an incredibly powerful productivity tool.
