The thesis
Adev’s core argument is that founder-led marketing isn’t dead; the distribution model is. Posting on social and hoping the algorithm rewards you is the old playbook. The founders, building real authority, now invest in LLM visibility, PR, and Reddit: the channels that make a name findable and credible before a buyer ever reaches out.
