In today’s world, everyone is rushing into tech. AI. Machine Learning. Automation.
Everywhere you look, startups are baking the same thing: bread.
But here’s a question I can’t shake:
When everyone is making bread, who’s making the flour?
And who, even further back, is planting the raw materials that flour comes from?
Because history shows us something:
In every gold rush, the biggest winners aren’t always the miners.
They’re the ones selling the picks, the shovels, and the land.
In tech:
Bread = the flashy apps and AI tools we all see.
Flour = the infrastructure, APIs, cloud, and data pipelines that make it possible.
Wheat = the raw material data, chips, computing power that fuels everything.

Everyone wants to be a baker.
But the real money and long-term leverage often belongs to those who own the fields.
So I’ll leave you with this thought:
In the age of AI, do you want to be another baker or do you want to own the wheat field?
