## Description

Ethereum doesn’t need more code; it needs more founders. AI has killed the technical barrier to entry—now the only thing that matters is solving problems people will pay for. In this 10‑minute session, we’re uninstalling “Hacker Mode” ego and installing Founder Mode, using the Nerdconf blueprint for turning hackathon ghosts into sustainable startups: the business DNA Ethereum is starving for.
