According to The Wall Street Journal, entrepreneurship is surging again. In January alone, 532,000 new business applications were filed—up nearly 37% year over year. Meanwhile, the number of people listing themselves as “founders” on LinkedIn is up 69%.
What’s driving it? AI—both the threat and the opportunity.
Fear of layoffs and automation is pushing more workers to rethink job security. At the same time, AI tools are dramatically lowering the barriers to starting something new. One founder built a news app using AI tools for about $400, a tiny fraction of what it once cost to launch a product.
But here’s the catch: when tools make it easier to start a business, they also make it easier for everyone else.
AI can help with coding, marketing, and operations. It can’t help with judgment, leadership, or finding a real customer problem worth solving.
AI may create more founders—but it won’t create more great businesses. Execution still wins.
