OM DENNE EPISODE
This episode originally appeared on Dan Blumberg’s podcast “Future Around & Find Out”, where Henrik joined as a guest.
In this conversation, Henrik Werdelin and Dan Blumberg explore how AI could reshape entrepreneurship and the broader economy. Henrik shares a “pitch for positivity”, arguing that we also have a responsibility to focus on what could go right, not just what could go wrong.
They discuss how AI can lower the barriers to starting a business, potentially leading to a more distributed form of value creation. A key theme is “relationship capital” — the idea that trust and connection between founders and customers will become an increasingly important competitive advantage.
They also cover:
- Why founders should start with problems, not ideas
- The “it sucks that…” method for identifying meaningful problems
- How AI can help entrepreneurs get unstuck
- The idea of “minimum viable agents”
- Lessons from past technologies and how they shaped work and society
- Henrik also shares how he uses AI in his own workflows, from summarizing information to building personal tools, and reflects on the skills that matter most for future entrepreneurs.
