Term coined on the 20VC episode with Gokul Rajaram ("8 Moats") describing a new cohort of young, often dropout founders who use AI tools so aggressively and natively that they compress months of engineering, design, and marketing work into days. The claim: AI-maxing founders aren't 10% more productive — they operate on a different cost and speed curve entirely, which shifts what a two-person team can credibly build. Implication for Karthik: the Skcript team's small-team-high-standards philosophy gains leverage if everyone fully adopts AI workflows, not just ships with them on the side.
