When Small Players Earn Billions: How AI Gives Them an Edge Over Giants

Can a Small Company with 42 Employees Threaten Giants Like Amazon or Google? 😲

Yes—if it has artificial intelligence on its side! AI is changing the rules of the game, allowing young companies to gain an advantage they could only dream of before. An example? OnlyFans—in 2024, the platform generated $6.3 billion in revenue with… just a few dozen employees. How is this possible?

Automation, optimization, and elimination—this is the new order of the business world.

Artificial intelligence enables companies to manage processes that previously required hundreds of employees. Thanks to AI, OnlyFans not only serves millions of users but also competes with giants like YouTube and other video platforms.

Agile startups are winning against giants because AI gives them superpowers!

Klarna, another example, laid off half of its marketing team and now, thanks to AI, produces more content in a shorter time, reducing costs by 25%. They managed to cut production time from 6 weeks to… just 1 week! This isn’t just an advantage—it’s a revolution.

What does this mean for the old giants?

It means that big corporations might struggle to keep up. Rigid structures, slow decision-making processes, and a lack of courage to adopt new technologies could lead to a situation where these smaller, more agile companies take control of the market.

In the future, success won’t be determined by the number of employees but by the ability to adapt.

If large companies want to survive, they must learn to implement innovations quickly—otherwise, small startups with tiny teams will become the leaders of the AI era.
