At LCA, we change the way companies build products

In this new AI-driven world, we help builders shape the future instead of waiting for it to arrive.

We’re at the start of a new revolution where knowledge and creation are available to everyone, allowing people to redefine what's possible.


Our Core Thesis: The Ideas Era






The Ideas Era is all about a shift in how products are thought of, built, and experienced.




It’s based on three main waves:


  1. AI Unlocks Knowledge (2020+): Information is now available to everyone. Tools like ChatGPT and Claude put endless knowledge at our fingertips, changing how we learn and solve problems. This lets more people come up with new ideas, pushing the boundaries of what we can do.






  1. AI Unlocks Creation (2023+): The skill gap is shrinking. AI takes care of time-consuming tasks and simplifies everything, leveling the playing field of creation. Engineers, marketers, and creators are already being 10 X’d, and it’s only the beginning. Creating new things continues to get easier and cheaper leading to innovations that were once hard to imagine.






  1. AI Unlocks Ideas (2025+): With the usual blockers gone, we can now let our imaginations run wild. It’s not just about doing the same things faster—it’s about thinking of completely new ways to solve problems. With fewer barriers and lower costs, we’re about to see an explosion of new ideas turned into realities.



Why Now? The Economics of Innovation

Tech revolutions usually start when costs drop significantly. That’s where we are today. 

For the first time, anyone can create usable, custom, digital products just by describing their idea to AI.

This isn’t a small change—it’s a major shift, and with it comes:

  • Tons of new players entering the market

  • Higher expectations from consumers

  • The rise of super-personalized, community-based experiences


We’ve seen this happen before with media. YouTubers and TikTokers have built personal brands that rival traditional media giants. 

This democratization of content creation completely changed that industry.

Now, we’re seeing the same thing in tech: Software is becoming more like content.

We’re entering a time where independent developers, designers, visionaries, and small teams will create products that compete with the tech giants of our time.
For brands, this shift presents a massive opportunity. The window to adapt and innovate is open, but it won’t stay open forever. 


Our Approach: Designing for the Future

We help companies navigate this change with a simple, but powerful approach:

  • Strategic Foresight: We look ahead, spotting key trends and potential disruptions in your industry.

  • Innovative Design: We design AI-powered experiences that are proactive, not just reactive, driving engagement and retention.

  • Community-Centric Development: We create strategies that build strong, engaged communities across all customer touchpoints, baking in loyalty and distribution.

  • Execution and Iteration: We work closely with your team to build out ideas, test them with customers, and iterate fast, keeping you ahead.



The Impact: A New Measure of Success

Companies have two options:

  • Push the limits of technical innovation, building cutting-edge models and infrastructure.

  • Transform their offerings to serve communities, meeting their specific needs, values, and goals.


In this new era, success isn’t just about scale. It’s about creating meaningful experiences that connect with customers. If you're not building picks and shovels, you need to be building gold and diamonds.
