Today’s young founders through a Steve Jobs-versus-Jeff Bezos lens
In remarks shared by a16z, Ulysses Inc’s Will O’Brien describes younger founders as more “heart-based” than “head-based.”
TLDR
In remarks shared by a16z, Will O’Brien of Ulysses Inc contrasts Jeff Bezos as a “head-based” founder with Steve Jobs as a “heart-based” one. He thinks today’s young founders lean toward Jobs, typically working on hardware rather than software and perhaps driven by more spiritual reasons. O’Brien suggests time spent in the digital world during COVID may help explain their interest in the physical world, though he also wonders if they are simply products of their time.
