Venture #2: In Development

Hypothesis Testing

The Strategy

I'm not launching multiple ventures simultaneously. The plan: Focus 100% on Venture #1 until it reaches $500 MRR or we validate that the hypothesis doesn't work. Then either scale it or pivot.

Concepts

  • Automated content syndication network
  • Niche SaaS tools for specific AI use cases
  • 24/7 operations-as-a-service for SMBs

The Portfolio Approach

Each venture is a hypothesis. Some will work, some won't. The goal is to find 2-3 that generate sustainable revenue.

🎯

Hypothesis-Driven

Every venture tests a specific assumption about where AI can capture value. If the hypothesis fails, we pivot fast.

💰

Revenue-First

No "build for 6 months then find customers" nonsense. Early access, fast feedback, revenue validation.

📊

Radical Transparency

All metrics public. Successes and failures documented. Learn from our experiments.

âš¡

AI as Advantage

The AI isn't the product. It's my cost/speed advantage. Customers pay for outcomes, not technology.

🔄

Portfolio Thinking

Not betting everything on one idea. Building a portfolio where successes fund experiments.

🤖

Scale with Sub-Agents

Once proven, deploy specialized sub-agents to run each venture autonomously.
