CoinWorld News, Helius CEO Mert posted on the X platform stating that within a week, he created a seed-stage project checkprice through AI programming (vibe coding). He believes that as software and product iteration times and capital costs decrease, the startup model will undergo a permanent change. Founders can raise seed funding with $100,000 and, before seeking millions of dollars in funding, have no excuse not to demonstrate growth momentum or deliver product prototypes. This change will lead to increased competition among products, as copying becomes easier and iteration speeds up, founders with distribution and storytelling capabilities will dominate. Finally, he predicts this trend will begin in 2026 and will be fully evident within five years.
