Summary
Daniel Nadler, CEO of OpenEvidence, predicts that future tech giants will have fewer than 100 employees. He cites his own company, which has sub-100 employees but indirectly supports millions of patients. Other leaders, such as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, also emphasize the potential of AI to enable smaller teams to achieve significant results. Research from McKinsey suggests that companies will need to undergo a “double transformation” to capture the full value of AI.

The strategy enters a familiar phase.
OpenEvidence’s $250 million funding round and $12 billion valuation are notable, but Nadler’s focus on the company’s sub-100 employees and their impact on millions of patients is more telling. The idea that future tech giants will be built by smaller teams is gaining traction, with leaders like Altman and Block’s Amrita Ahuja echoing the sentiment. McKinsey’s research highlights the need for companies to fundamentally restructure their workforce to capture the full value of AI. The numbers tell one story, but the real story is about the shift in how work gets done.
As Nadler said, “The scale is unfathomable, and that’s directly a result of what Jensen and Nvidia, and these tools and the people who develop on top of that technology have enabled as the new starting point.”
