The opportunity for small teams

The billion-dollar
one-person company

“the first year that there is a one-person billion-dollar company”

The time for the idea person

“the revenge of the idea guys” , Sam Altman, 2026

AI lowers the cost of trying. Customers still decide what succeeds.

An early signal

MEDVi: a tiny core team,
an enormous business

$401Mreported sales in 2025
$1.8Bprojected 2026 sales

Launched September 2024.
Elliot joined in April 2025, about 7 months later.

AI supported marketing, software and customer service.
Clinical care and fulfillment came from outside partners.

Two employees at the time of reporting, plus contractors and partners. The $1.8B figure is a forecast, not a valuation. FDA and marketing scrutiny are part of this story.

Founder-reported figures, different periods and business models. Revenue is not profit. These are exceptional examples, not typical outcomes; not all are solo or non-technical.

My experience · 18 years as a founder

Six startups.
Building was the bottleneck.

Customer conversations shaped the idea.
Turning that idea into software took the most time.

Today, AI gives solo founders and tiny teams a faster way to test what matters.

Aemal Sayer · One workshop changed my direction

From founder
to educator.

Founder→AI educator

120 in the room. 200 online.
No Wi-Fi. Of course.

Early 2025. A free, 9 hours long community workshop on voice AI agents. In a basement. With an internet-dependent demo.

One phone. A weak 5G signal.
And… it worked.

The same phone carried the livestream and the voice-agent call. That moment turned a founder into an educator. Give first. Keep going.

A useful distinction

This is not a
vibe-coding workshop

Coined “vibe coding” · February 2025

Describe what you want.
Let AI generate the code.
Iterate by what you see.

A powerful starting point.
Our workshop adds structure, testing
and the principles behind the app.

No coding background required. No code-heavy lectures.

Web applications only.
Leave with a method and a clear path to keep learning.

An introduction to a dependable workflow. A 90-minute session cannot certify production security. Separate masterclasses cover iOS and Android.

The community edition

Why free?
I believe in giving first.

In 2023, I built VoiceKitt.
I lost more than $500,000.

Much of it was my own savings.
We needed more builders and more runway.

TechstarsVoiceKitt was part of Techstars.
$120,000 accelerator investment.

Teaching became my next chapter.
Helping others build became my passion.

Give first. The rest can follow.
