Jack Zhang(@awxjack):I like this. A "Borderless Founder" understands that in practice borders matter more than ever. Founders who learn to build across countries early will have an advantage. Specifically learning how to operate outside your home market before your competitors is key. This was our head start as an Aussie team. The internet made the world more global and AI may make it far more productive but neither will repeal the state. Founders who develop a healthy respect for sovereign borders and learn to build across them rather than pretend they don’t exist will have an edge.
