1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Over the past few weeks, a growing narrative has emerged arguing that AI could destabilize the economy and disrupt entire business models. Last week, I published my view that AI is far more likely to be a productivity revolution than an economic collapse. But what does this mean specifically for marketplaces? Many founders are asking: • &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Will LLMs capture discovery? • &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Will AI compress take rates? • &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Will traffic shift away from platforms? • &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;How defensible are marketplaces in an AI-native world? In this upcoming episode, I break down: • &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Why most fears around AI disintermediating marketplaces are overstated. • &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Where AI does threaten marketplace margins. • &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The structural advantages marketplaces retain. • &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The immediate opportunities AI creates for liquidity, cross-border trade, and profitability. • &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;What founders should do now. If you’re building, investing in, or operating a marketplace, this episode is for you!
