This extends the general claim by identifying a specific demographic (solo founders using AI coding assistants) whose productivity is mismatched with traditional capital formation speed. The 'raise in days, ship in weeks' formulation makes the bottleneck explicit: when development cycles compress to weeks via AI assistance, month-long fundraising processes become the binding constraint.
