Tiny teams (5–10 people) can build multi-billion dollar companies, as demonstrated historically by Minecraft, not just as a future AI phenomenon.

Stripe's internal AI knowledge tool Kai was built by only two people in approximately six months.

“We built it I don't know maybe 6 months ago, two people built it.”

Minecraft was built by roughly five to ten people when it was acquired for billions by Microsoft, making it a historical precedent for a tiny-team multi-billion dollar company, not a future AI phenomenon.

“Minecraft was like what was it five people 10 people when it was bought for billions of dollars by Microsoft. People keep talking about someday there will be like a multi-billion dollar single person company. That was basically Minecraft roughly. It already happened like 15 years ago or whenever that was.”

It is unlikely that many more trillion-dollar companies will be formed in the next three to five years; at most one might emerge.

“It's unlikely that we'll see that many more in the next three to five years. I mean, there's one I can think of that could maybe get there, but not multiple.”
