Business Model Canvas — Alex Osterwalder

We saw different waves of business models in the digital world until today.

  1. The first was about carrying business X to the internet.
  2. The second was about eliminating the middle man.
  3. Third around mobile.
  4. The last one is about removing the human element from the cost structure with things like automation & artificial intelligence.

I believe we will slow a little due to the maturity level in artificial intelligence and the R&D needed to solve specific tasks. But this doesn’t mean the startup world will slow, absolutely not. I believe human being is all about adaptation and finding new ways to survive. So next generation entrepreneurs will try to accelerate the time spent in the value chain, using the same business models as before but with 10x speed. Let’s say you sell your house in 30 days, there will be startups selling your house in 3 days, and his disrupt the industry without changing the components or personas.

Massimo Dall’Oglio — The Wired

We always found a way to survive and now startup ecosystem need some time until AI becomes more mature for the micro-tasks that need fine-tuning or one learning algorithm to evolve. And I am sure entrepreneurs will adapt disrupting the business models from a different perspective, even without changing the elements. This is what makes us different, right ?
