Key Takeaways

  • Jet Ski Innovation Model: Deploy teams of 5–10 people to test 20–30 versions of an idea rapidly, spending minimal capital before scaling. This replaces the traditional model of committing $1 billion to a single unproven concept, eliminating year-long timelines with no guaranteed return.
  • AI Operational Maturity at iFood: iFood runs entirely on AI for personalization, anti-fraud, push notifications, and CRM — resulting in lower marketing spend than competitors and higher customer satisfaction scores. An internal platform called Token gives every employee access to AI agents for their specific role.
  • Executive-Level AI Literacy: Bloisi mandates that all senior executives, including CEOs of $5–10 billion business units, complete hands-on programming courses. When leaders directly build AI agents, they recalibrate their ambitions upward and set substantially larger organizational goals.
  • Autonomous AI Organizations: Since December, it has become technically feasible to encode a company's institutional intelligence into AI systems capable of operating independently for one to three days. Prosus currently has 20,000 employees building agents, targeting 200% company-wide efficiency gains rather than individual productivity improvements.

Notable Moment

Bloisi describes being told by European regulators to divest a stake in Delivery Hero — then learning two weeks later that M&A guidelines were changing, but the divestiture still had to proceed immediately under the old rules.
