VCs daily begging to jump ship, founders want AI acquisitions: talent is concentrating
annbordetsky · x · 2026-11-06
A first-hand observation of AI-era talent concentration:
- The author gets daily calls from VCs eager to leave their firms and join hot AI companies
- Founders with decent traction privately want to be acquired by hot AI companies
Takeaway: talent is flowing into "the institutions of the future," and the author thinks that's exactly as it should be — a telling snapshot of AI's double pull on both capital and founders.
