I left Big Law to become an investor, but building an AI firm proved more lucrative. We hit 6 figures in our first 6 months.
A $650K raise and $372K in six-month revenue for an AI-native legal service is another data point that narrow, domain-specific agents can monetize faster than generic AI consultancies. If you own a high-margin expert workflow, the window to spin out an AI-first vertical product is open now, not “after the tech matures.”
Applied AISources: Paul Meade, Apple's top executive in charge of Vision Pro and smart glasses efforts, is leaving for OpenAI to work on the company's AI-powered devices
Senior AR/VR hardware talent moving from Apple to OpenAI signals that AI-native devices are no longer a side bet—they’re a career-defining platform. If you’re building around spatial computing, assume the center of gravity may shift toward assistants with hardware, not hardware with assistants bolted on.
Applied AIBeyond Chips, IMF Sees AI Wealth Boom Adding to Inflation Risks

Applied AIApple’s Vision Pro and Smart Glasses Chief Is Leaving for OpenAI
The continued flow of senior device and XR leaders toward OpenAI underlines a structural bet: the next hardware cycle is AI-first, not app-first. Hardware roadmaps that don’t assume deep, on-device model integration will look dated faster than their refresh cycles.
