How I Invest with David Weisburd

E236: How the Top 0.1% Founders Build AI Companies

05 Nov 2025

Description

Can founders 10x their progress in 12 weeks? In this episode, I speak with Dave Fontenot, Founder of HF0, a groundbreaking startup residency that’s redefining how AI companies are built. HF0’s model—part hacker house, part monastic focus—is based on the idea that startups grow fastest when founders eliminate every distraction and operate in uninterrupted flow. Dave explains how the residency model is helping founders make “two years of progress in 12 weeks,” why the most dangerous distraction is the second most important thing in your business, and how recursive subtraction leads to breakthrough realizations. We discuss what true flow looks like, how competition in AI has changed company-building forever, and why the next generation of founders will work like athletes in training camp.
