Building Alamo AI Labs: A Journey in Founder Education

How we're creating deep dives into legendary founders and business leaders

·1 min read

The Vision

At Alamo AI Labs, we're building something different. Instead of shallow summaries, we create deep, comprehensive dossiers on legendary founders—the kind of research that reveals not just what they did, but how they thought.

Why Founders?

The best business education doesn't come from textbooks. It comes from studying the decisions, patterns, and mental models of those who built extraordinary companies.

"The past is not dead. In fact, it's not even past." — William Faulkner

Our Approach

We don't just tell stories. We analyze:

  • Mental models - The frameworks that guided decision-making
  • Strategic patterns - Repeatable approaches that worked across contexts
  • Paradoxes - The contradictions that made them human and effective

What's Next

We're starting with Henry Ford—a figure whose complexity rewards deep study. The $5 Day and the Dearborn Independent came from the same mind. Understanding that contradiction reveals more than any hagiography ever could.

Stay tuned for Volume II.
