I don't think you should think about it like that though. Just pay attention to the things people are complaining about, or a product people are using but aren't all that satisfied with. Think about how you can fix that, and how you'll make money from that. AI might then be one of the technologies you'll need to apply to do so. Which as a matter of fact, doesn't mean you need to learn coding or ML or something like that. You can leverage people. AI is just a technology. Problem-solving and risk-taking make you an entrepreneur.
When (large) businesses have to purchase things, like software, there’s a ton of steps that have to be completed before a contract is signed and money exchanges hands. You have to go through finance, engineering - all the stakeholders at the company- and get sign off. This can take weeks or months, and plenty of paperwork, requests for info, etc. Zip streamlines all that by integrating everything from vendor management to approvals into one system, which saves a lot of time and money. Was a nightmare when I worked at Apple.
@ just the archaic process of getting approval for any purchases was a nightmare. this was back in the early 2000s, there were whole departments that work on procurement. haven’t used zip myself, but makes total sense to me

Dalton's point at the end about being a second time founder giving you the ability to be intentional in everything you do resonates a lot.
Exactly
Rujul's story is a great example for entrepreneurs, perseverance is key to scaling a business from zero

@@Ditto-i1d what was nightmare?. Using zip at apple or doing it usual way at apple ?
