We Built Our Own Salesforce in Months. Here's Why We're Cancelling the $600K Contract | Curative CEO
- Reduce company headcount to approximately 400 in the short term while increasing clinical care navigator roles with membership growth, predicting overall organizational size will increase within five years.
- Cut 80% of SaaS expenditures this year and fully migrate workflows from legacy claim systems by July.
- Anticipate large insurers will fail to compete on margins due to an inability to shed 50% of their workforce quickly, a transition expected to take 10 years, while the US market moves toward smaller payers and health systems.
- Project Anthropic costs rising from tens of thousands of dollars to millions monthly within the last six or seven months, with total spending growing to 2 to 5 times a developer's salary from a current base of 3.8% within three years.
- Expect "agent supervisor" roles to become massive and necessary to manage exceptions at 10x current scale, where one senior engineer oversees numerous downstream agents exceeding human headcount.
- Forecast AI agents replacing mid-level back-office jobs and eventually handling legal contract review and signing within guardrails without law firm oversight within three years.
- Plan to scale "Gwen" agent contract processing from 100 per week to 100 per day, reaching 10 to 20 times last year's team output volume.
- Predict that relationship-based sales will remain critical for large contracts over the next 5 to 10 years as trust becomes scarce, while data cleansing is not expected to hinder enterprise AI adoption.
- Envision nuclear power's share growing significantly as coal disappears over the next 5 to 10 years, with Subcritical deploying energy amplifier-based fission technology faster than competitors.
- Expect Anthropic to potentially be worth $10 trillion in three years and Subcritical to eventually surpass Curative in size despite Curative's larger immediate market opportunity.
- Envisage AI transforming hardware engineers into software engineers overnight for nuclear reactor design and agents eventually acting on behalf for tasks like booking holidays and using credit cards over time.
- Predict universal basic income will eventually be required to mitigate labor displacement and societal unrest, while agents will likely surpass humans on most capabilities in a few years.
