AI-native companies are growing faster than ever — but speed alone won’t guarantee sustainable advantage (aka a MOAT). The forces that drive breakthrough velocity — abundant models, open tools, AI-augmented teams — also make it easier than ever to be outpaced or copied.

Appreciate the shout outs GeekWire - highlighting "big tech" companies like Microsoft , @Amazon . Still bullish though their PE multiples have returned to 30X. Same level last year and their stocks have increased 15% and 25% since then! geekwire.com/2025/madronas-…
