Coopetition and the Art of Rapid Experimentation

Former Intel CEO on What Went Wrong, What's Next + Lovable … · Jul 15, 2026 Business

When Jason's team built two separate intranets in Japan and the US without coordinating, he worried they'd diverged. Anton said: that's the right approach. At CERN, Anton witnessed isolated teams working on the same particle accelerator publish separately to avoid anchoring bias — free markets work by competition, not consensus.

Why Intel Lost Its Edge: The Death of Technical Leadership

Former Intel CEO on What Went Wrong, What's Next + Lovable … · Jul 15, 2026 Business

Intel's decline wasn't about bad luck — it was structural. When technical founders gave way to finance-driven business leaders, every major investment decision started running through a spreadsheet instead of an engineering vision. The result: no new factories for a decade, no EUV machines, and $100B returned to shareholders instead of compounded into the future.

China's economy grew just over 4% in Q2 2026, the slowest pace in more than three years.

The idea that house flipping is dead is flat-out wrong. What died is the forgiving, low-skill version — the era when even bad flippers made money. For disciplined investors, today's market is full of opportunity precisely because fearful competitors have stepped back.

In 2021, all renovated properties could be lumped together and priced similarly. Not anymore. Today's buyers are hyper-picky, rewarding only the highest-quality finishes and design. Using the top comp as your ARV when your product doesn't match it is the fastest way to lose money.

The Conservative ARV Framework Henry Uses on Every Deal

If House Flipping is “Dead,” How Is She Flipping 10+ Houses… · Jul 15, 2026 Business

Henry Washington uses a simple but powerful ARV framework: get a zone (high, mid, low) from an agent, then underwrite at the mid-to-low end. Factor in two price drops, $10k in closing cost assistance, and two extra months of hold time before making your offer. If the numbers still work, it's a deal.

Dominique Gunderson got her real estate license in early 2025 and it changed her business. Saving 2.5% on every listing adds up to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year across a 10–12 flip portfolio. The bonus: direct buyer feedback that sharpens every future renovation decision.

The Closing Cost Mistake That Wipes Out Flipper Profits

If House Flipping is “Dead,” How Is She Flipping 10+ Houses… · Jul 15, 2026 Business

Knowing surprises are coming means you can budget for them — and a 10% contingency on a fully inspected project is the floor.

Never Underwrite to Your Contractor's Special Price

If House Flipping is “Dead,” How Is She Flipping 10+ Houses… · Jul 15, 2026 Business

Contractors raise prices. Crew members disappear. Henry Washington's solution: always underwrite to market-rate renovation costs, never to the discounted rates your personal contractors give you. If you get the deal done cheaper, that's upside. If your guy bails, you're not underwater.
