Been pondering this for quite a while—the AI product landscape really is skewed toward enterprise solutions. You look around and maybe 1 in 10 teams are actually building B2C AI tools that solve real problems for regular people. The rest? They're chasing institutional deals, raising bigger rounds, going after what's easier to pitch.

Not surprising though. When capital flows in one direction and everyone sees the same playbook working, it's tough to stick out. The market signals are pointing hard toward the 'legible' path—easier valuations, clearer metrics, safer bets. Breaking that pattern takes real conviction and a slightly different risk appetite than most founders have right now.
