Recently Sahil put in a post that "VC funding shifts to powering new AI powered startups, who are built cash flow positive from Day 1, leaving the unprofitable ones out to patch."
When job seeking, what's the best way to find companies that are built cash flow positive from Day 1 so we can hope to future proof our job a bit?
What other recommendations would anyone have?

Here is a link to the post for reference: - https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7035244306131017728?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop
It seems the "cash flow positive" comment is geared towards the growth spending model and how much free cash flow SaaS companies actually leave to be able to pay all the employees they hire for growth (mainly sales and marketing) throughout the coming quarters.
The challenge when job seeking is
- how do we best assess this and make the most stable option for us AE's when weighing different opportunities?
- How do we look for and uncover companies with a more stable model to keep the AE's hired on-board?
