Chris Hohn on AI risk, moats, & disruption:

“The world is changing so much that some of these moats, 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐚𝐭𝐬, 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐀𝐈 and other disruption forces. So the forces of disruption are actually rising.”

How does Hohn think about navigating that risk?

“You really want something that’s obvious… 𝙨𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙮.”

So what are barriers to entry?

Some of the most important ones 👇🏽

𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞: Large embedded footprint that compounds over time

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐈𝐏: Deep patents, proprietary designs, or trade secrets

$SPGI → Regulatory reliance, switching costs, network effects, brand trust

$AMZN → Infrastructure scale, switching costs (AWS + Prime), ecosystem lock-in, data advantages

$ICE → Regulatory licenses, switching costs, network effects, mission-critical infrastructure

$TDG → Proprietary IP, certification barriers, sole-source positions, high switching costs

Ben Horowitz explains the biggest mistake founders make pitching VCs

“The big mistake people make is they try to appeal too much to the venture capitalists. That’ll drive us crazy because it’s a little bit of a sign of anti-courage.”

Ben shares an example of being pitched by founders who are conservative in their estimates because they know ‘VCs like conservatism.’ However, what VCs want to hear is what you actually believe — not what you think they want to hear.

“Anything that shows a lack of conviction or courage or belief in what you’re doing is what always ends up worrying me. Either you believe it or you don’t. Either you’re committed or you’re not. Either you have the courage to build the company or you don’t.”

Importantly though, as Ben points out, courage doesn’t mean that you don’t feel fear. He recalls the quote from boxing coach Cus D’Amato:

“The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It’s the same thing, fear, but it’s what you do with it that matters.”
