I’m Brian Hecht, and I’ve been a founder and investor for 30+ years. I’ve never written a line of code. Then I started building with AI, and couldn’t stop.
Suddenly, every conversation I was having with anyone in startups was about AI. I realized that nobody has the playbook yet, and that this can’t be taught from the top-down; it has to be lived.
So I founded The New Builder. The people who figure this out are going to do it together.
