AI cartoon by Zimbo: Six-panel strip: Pieter Levels does twelve startups in twelve months (2014), turns a spreadsheet into Nomad List, bets remote with Remote OK, duct-tapes AI into Interior AI, Photo AI (2022-23), then a mountain lookout with a tabby cat over solo builders' huts. 2026: THE VIEW WAS WORTH THE CLIMB.
Pieter Levels turned "twelve startups in twelve months" into a public operating system — Nomad List, Remote OK, Interior AI and Photo AI, all shipped solo, failures on the scoreboard and all.Zimbo for AI News Page
