More startups. Fewer jobs. What's actually going on?I joined the @scalebrate Exponential Scale podcast to break this down. We covered a lot of ground: • Why startup job creation dropped • The data flaw: gig workers and solo founders inflate “startup” counts while employer-firm jobs keep shrinking • Why people without a high school diploma start businesses at 2× the rate of college graduates • How AI makes business-building tools dramatically more accessible for solo founders • What ecosystems should optimize for instead of raw startup quantity • Why durability — not venture scale — should be the new startup metricTake a listen: https://scalebrate.com/podcast/more-startups-fewer-jobs-interview-with-donna-harris-ceo-builders-backers by @dharrisindc

All of the "AI is causing job loss" conversations seem to run on one track: - How do we retrain workers?- How do get them new jobs? But almost nobody is asking another (more important) one:- What if more of the displaced became builders rather than employees?I'm asking this and more in the latest Builders Field Guide.

2 out of 3 Americans have an idea for something they want to build.Less than 2% ever act on it.That stopped me in my tracks.Not because people lack ideas.Because too many of us stopped seeing ourselves as builders.Stopped believing we could be the one.Maybe the someone you’ve been waiting for is you.Episode 10 of 50 Chairs with @dharrisindc is out today.You can watch or listen on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.Follow @50chairs for more conversations with builders, founders, and people willing to put the chairs out before they know who’s coming. by @dharrisindc

For 15 years, America’s startup strategy was built around one idea:More startups = more jobs.Kauffman’s newest entrepreneurship data suggests that equation is breaking.Entrepreneurship is up.Startup job creation is down.Survival rates are slipping.More founders.Less impact per startup.The entrepreneurship economy has changed dramatically — but much of the infrastructure supporting entrepreneurs still reflects the assumptions of the 2010 startup boom.This week's BFG goes deep on what the data says about the future of entrepreneurship, startup ecosystems, and economic development.Including the charts 👀Link in bio. by @dharrisindc
