What does an 'AI-native startup' look like, teams staying tiny while scaling big?

An AI-native startup builds AI into how the company itself runs, not just the product, so that agents and automation do work that used to require whole departments, and every new hire is a generalist who multiplies output rather than a specialist who adds headcount. The results are startling: Gamma reached $100M in revenue with about 30 people, and a wave of one-to-three-person companies have hit millions in revenue or even acquisition. The emerging benchmark is 'more millions in revenue than employees', and it's changing how much money founders need to raise and how many people they need to hire.

A quick orientation. The real value is below: resources worth your time, from people who've actually done it.
