Hey,

We flew out to New York to spend a day with the guys behind Cal AI.

Four guys who built one of the biggest AI apps in the world. And sold it for millions. 

It's all truly insane. 

But behind the story is a question that kept nagging me:

It it too late to build apps? 

It seems like everyone is building apps these days.

Is this a dying trend? or are we just getting started? 

So... I asked them.

Cal AI is doing around $50M/year.

Sounds massive, right? 

But the App Store as a whole is a $100B market.

So even at their scale... they had captured only about 1/2,000th of it.

And that pie is still growing ~10% a year. 

Think about that. 

Most people look at the App Store and see something crowded and finished.

But these guys look at it and see vast, open opportunity.

So how do you win?

Here's what they said:

1) Take a proven idea and add your spin.

Copying can get you to $10K. But the bigger wins come from a different feature, a different angle, or a different distribution play.

2) Solve your own problem.

This is tried and true advice. When you build for yourself, you know exactly what the product should be, and you know exactly who you're marketing to. 

3) Find people you trust. 

They credited the entire success behind Cal AI to their co-founder dynamic. If you're building with others, trust is what is going to take you to the next level.

So is it too late?

No.

It's a huge market growing every year.

And now it's time to build.
