Mark Cuban says, “You only need to be right once.”
But getting to that “once” takes more than vision —
It takes discipline.
His advice: start with as little capital as possible.
Especially in AI, where costs are low and leverage runs high.
At Eagle Talon, we study similar dynamics in public markets:
→ Can leadership create traction without a capital advantage?
→ Are time and risk allocated with precision?
→ Does discipline emerge before scale — not after?
Early-stage environments reveal instinct.
Public markets test it under pressure.
That’s when leadership edge becomes visible —
Not just in results, but in how decisions are sequenced, constraints are managed, and momentum is built.
Conviction isn’t about how much you can spend.
It’s revealed in what leaders prioritize when resources are scarce.
