About This Leaderboard - The Road to "1-Person" Billion Dollar Company

I'm a repeat founder who's built a $100MM+ ARR startup the old fashioned way by hiring hundreds of people and raising hundreds of millions of VC funding. I'm now building in AI and many of us in Silicon Valley are now big believers in the idea that Sam Altman put forward:

"We are now confident we know how to build AGI as we have traditionally understood it... There'll soon be a 1-person billion dollar company"

This leaderboard tracks all the lean AI Native companies to measure this new trend and how close we actually are to the "1-person" billion dollar startup reality.
