I was listening to a 20VC podcast featuring Alan Chang, founder of Fuse Energy and an early employee at Revolut.
When Revolut launched, they weren’t the only player in the market. Similar services existed with comparable feature sets.
But only Revolut became a massive success. Why?
People tried to find a logical explanation. But it turns out, Revolut was the only team that worked weekends and evenings.
That’s it. They just outworked everyone else.
In an era where everyone talks about 10x efficiency through AI, it’s still true a company’s success comes down to how hard the team works. Because it’s still humans who build and operate the agents.
