Why Every Founder in 2026 Needs an AI “Second Brain” (or Get Left Behind)

If 2025 was the year AI tools became mainstream, 2026 is the year they become mandatory for survival — especially for founders.

The era of manual execution is dead. Tasks are heavier, customer expectations are instant, and competitors are using AI to operate at 10x your pace.

A new reality is here:

👉 Founders who build an AI Second Brain will run their business like a 10–20 person team.
👉 Founders who don’t will fall behind — fast.

This isn’t theory. It’s already happening.

Why Every Founder Needs This NOW

1. Workload Has Tripled

You’re expected to be CEO + sales + marketing + support + content + ops.

A designer? €1,500–€3,000/mo.
A marketer? €3,000–€7,000/mo.

Your AI Second Brain covers:
