There's never been a better time to start an AI company. Not just because there are new ideas, but because the tech finally makes old ones actually work.
On the @LightconePod, @garrytan, @harjtaggar, @sdianahu, and @snowmaker talk through the kinds of startups that are suddenly viable thanks to LLMs—from full-stack law firms to personalized tutors to recruiting platforms that can finally scale.
They share the patterns they're seeing, the ideas they're excited about, and what it means to live at the edge of the future, where breakthroughs often look like second chances.
If you've been waiting for the right moment to build, this is it.

Daily from RiskCube: 🌾
Today, we spoke with 10 insurance brokers in California focused on crop & agriculture risk. It’s clear—Grapes, Almonds, and Pistachios are the key crops in the region.
We’re building a risk tool to calculate the fair premium for these crops, using 20 years of loss history and projecting premiums under different climate scenarios.
