Harry Stebbings, the 29-year-old founder of 20VC, stated that a 7-day workweek is essential for building a $10 billion business.
Stebbings' post sparked a debate on the 996 culture, criticized for poor work-life balance and associated with controversial working hours.
Stebbings believes intense work is crucial for early-career success in the AI race but acknowledges the necessity of stress relief for maintaining energy.
While Stebbings promotes a relentless work ethic for success initially, he emphasizes the need to transition towards more downtime and efficiency after a few years.
