    TLDR

    Adam Turner, CEO at Postscript, posted on X that the company adopted co-CEOs to compete with broccoli-haired twenty-year-olds in San Francisco. He described the eight-year-old startup, which generates over 150M ARR, as geriatric in AI terms. The post states the only way to keep pace is to embrace that same energy rather than resist it. Turner indicated he would build one version of the product while the co-CEO handles the AI-native rebuild alongside the existing business.

    @asturnerrWhy Co-CEOs for our $150M+ ARR startup? because the broccoli 🥦 haired 20 year olds in SF are coming for our lunch. We’re 8 years into building, geriatric in AI terms. IMO the only way to compete with these fools is to embrace the broccoli energy ourselves. that’s the thinking with Co-CEOs: 1. I build the version of our company that we would build if we were starting from scratch today. No tech debt, no org debt, no priors. 100% AI native company building 2. @ringmybeller owns the $150M business, the 20k customers, and the growth that’s paying for the experiment. This year we’ll grow 50% YoY profitably, it’s clearly working and he’s crushing. The beauty of it is we haven’t yet unveiled the new version of the company. That’s coming in September. "Postscript 2.0" takes 8 years of lessons and experience and combines it with the tactics and tools that benefit the 20 yr olds today. It’s been one of the most painful things for us to do. There’s endless change management, dissent from non-believers, lot’s to work we’ve created for ourselves. To me, that’s much better than the alternative. Disrupt yourselves before someone else does.
