Entrepreneur and investor Naval Ravikant said the future will be shaped by builders, not those who simply manage or redistribute resources.

“The future belongs to people who are good at creating things, not people who are good at dividing them up,” Ravikant wrote in a post on X.

The post comes amid growing debate about the role of creators versus coordinators in a world increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence and decentralized systems. As automation replaces routine tasks, creators who can design, code, build, or innovate are positioned to lead.

Ravikant has frequently emphasized the importance of personal leverage, ownership, and skill-building in an economy shifting away from legacy institutions toward individual-driven value creation.

Naval Ravikant is the founder of AngelList and a prominent early-stage investor. He is widely followed for his insights on startups, wealth creation, and personal development.
