When everyone can build, building stops being the advantage.

In this solo episode, David explores why taste, judgment and brand are becoming real moats for founders in the AI era.

We start with five recent European raises and what they signal: AI moving from productivity tool to labour replacement.

Then we go deeper on why products are converging, why customers choose conviction over features, and how founders can use a simple four-layer brand framework from Justified Studio to build clarity before worrying about logos or websites.
