For the past 2 years, downsizing has been rampant across the board at companies embracing AI.

According to Techcrunch, in 2024 alone, there have been more than 130,000 job cuts across 457 companies, from tech giants like Google, Salesforce, Dropbox, Microsoft and Consensys.

If existing companies are slashing their workforce, the new startups are also leveraging AI to build a lean workforce.

For the past year and a half, Breezing, a crypto subledger, has been quietly hustling, shipping products and onboarding customers - with just two people running the entire show.

I spoke with Bassil Eid, the CEO of Breezing and Managing Partner at Detof, a crypto accounting firm, and Selem Essaied, their CTO.

Some of their customers include industry-renowned names like SAFE, SingularityNET, Zerion, and well-known accounting firms like Harris & Trotter, Myna, R3gen and OnChainAccounting.
