Why Every Entrepreneur Needs Their Own AI and SaaS Empire Today

The next trillion-dollar opportunity is not in buying into existing platforms, but in building new ones. Entrepreneurs who want to compete in today’s economy must understand this: AI empires are built, not bought.

When cloud computing reshaped the 2010s, it was the founders and early investors who owned the platforms that became household names. Today, artificial intelligence and SaaS are repeating history at a faster pace. Those who start building now will not just participate in the economy of the future, they will own it.

The Foundational Stage Is Where Wealth Is Created

The best time to invest in real estate is before the concrete is poured. The same principle applies to AI infrastructure and SaaS. Right now, we are at the foundational stage. Compute grids, AI assistants, and SaaS platforms are still being constructed. In a few short years, these systems will be consolidated, mature, and priced far higher, making investment opportunities level out at modest 8% returns instead of 10 or 100X chances at building something big.

For entrepreneurs, this means the time to act is today. For private investors, this is the rare chance to secure returns that will not exist later. Waiting even two or three years could mean missing the only window to buy into the foundations of AI.

Why SaaS and AI Belong in Every Portfolio

SaaS has proven itself as the most reliable wealth creator of the last twenty years. Recurring revenue, high margins, and scalability make it attractive to entrepreneurs and investors alike. Artificial intelligence multiplies that advantage.

Instead of competing with AI, founders can build with it. Instead of hoping to catch the next big SaaS exit, investors can diversify into the platforms that power them. The opportunity is not only financial. It is structural. Whoever owns the infrastructure owns the future.

Jason Criddle and Associates: Turning Entrepreneurs Into Empire Builders

Jason Criddle and Associates is committed to helping entrepreneurs move beyond side hustles and small ventures. Companies like this have been building the tools, platforms, and infrastructure that allow any founder to scale into a true empire. Their now flagship ecosystem, DOMINAIT.ai, shows how data infrastructure and AI assistants like Ryker can give founders the power once reserved for billion-dollar corporations.

For investors, this is an opportunity to not just fund a startup, but to participate in the foundation of a system that will reshape the economy.

The Urgency of Now

Every private investor should diversify into SaaS and AI right now, not later. The technology curve is moving too quickly to wait. The ones who act at the foundational stage will capture the returns, while those who wait will be left buying at the top.

The message is simple. AI empires are built, not bought. And the best place to put your money is at the foundation, while the foundation is still being built.

If you are an entrepreneur with an idea on your head, build it. If you are an investor looking to take advantage of this market opportunity, go team up with an entrepreneur and help them build it.
