In British sporting slang, we call someone with exceptional talent and the ability to change a game a weapon. For example, “Jude Bellingham is an absolute weapon.”

Every startup needs a weapon.
- They are talent magnets. Great people want to work with them, creating preferential attachment for talent.
- They have unbelievable throughput. They autonomously take ideas from inception to completion.
- They set the bar. They stretch the team’s ambition for what is possible and unblock others.

Needless to say, those robots do not deploy themselves (yet)!
