PitchBook analyst Harrison Rulfs had argued that large institutional investors — pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and large-cap growth mandates — would fund their AI IPO allocations by liquidating existing big tech positions in NVIDIA, Microsoft, Google, and Meta. Galloway respectfully disagrees. His theory centers on investor psychology and investor overlap: the people most excited about SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are the same cohort that piled into Bitcoin and crypto on Elon Musk's enthusiasm. They're the innovation-chasing crowd, not the pension fund managers. Crypto is already about 50% off its highs, Galloway notes [1] — Scott Galloway "Forget NVIDIA and Meta taking the hit from large AI IPOs. Galloway says the real pressure will come on crypto — already 50% off its highs —…" 05:30 , and the AI IPO wave will accelerate that rotation out of digital assets and into AI equity. It's a more behaviorally-grounded prediction than the institutional portfolio rebalancing thesis, and it has significant implications for anyone holding Bitcoin while also wanting exposure to AI.
Galloway believes crypto is approximately 50% off its high and will come under further stress as AI IPO enthusiasm draws capital away.
GMO research shows every 1% rise in market cap correlates with a 7.5% drop in the following year's returns. Applied to the AI IPO wave, that points to a potential 40% market decline. The catch: when analysts say it's 1999, it's often actually 1997 — and the NASDAQ could double from here.
Bhanu grew SiteGPT to $13,000 monthly recurring revenue entirely through organic channels, spending nothing on paid marketing.
More than 1 million people have visited SiteGPT's website since launch in March 2023, all through organic channels.
Approximately 90% of SiteGPT's Google search traffic comes from the free tools Bhanu built, not the main product pages.
Bhanu sold his first SaaS product, Feather, for $250,000 so he could focus fully on the faster-growing SiteGPT.
SiteGPT has generated approximately $500,000 in total revenue since its launch in March 2023.
The average customer lifetime value for SiteGPT is approximately $1,700 to $1,800, which Bhanu considers unusually high.
SiteGPT receives around 50,000 visitors per month, of which about 200 convert to leads and 60 start free trials.
SiteGPT hit $10,000 MRR within its very first month of launch, driven largely by early traction in the AI chatbot space.
Despite strong download numbers, PropGPT could not push past $1,000–$2,000 MRR due to poor product retention.
