**[Tom Lee: The Success of OpenAI and Robinhood Stems from Founders' Vision, Not Reliance on AI Tools]** Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on August 16, Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee stated in an interview that in the era of artificial intelligence, the vision and judgment of company founders are more critical than ever. What truly drives a company's development is not asking questions to AI but the ability to create future directions. The existence of OpenAI is inseparable from Sam Altman's vision; similarly, the growth of Anthropic and Elon Musk's AI-related enterprises is rooted in the long-term strategies and directions set by their founders, rather than simply asking their AI models what to do next. Tom Lee also categorized Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev in the same group, noting that he is leading a company in a high-growth market that is expanding even faster than the overall economy. Vlad Tenev is one of the key reasons why Lee is optimistic about Robinhood's stock. Tom Lee believes that in the AI era, while technology itself may become increasingly widespread, the ability of founders to define market directions and drive organizational execution will remain a long-term competitive advantage for companies.
