One-person unicorn: Using AI to Scale a One-Person Business to Success

One-Person Unicorn shows you how a single founder can build a business that runs almost entirely on AI. This book takes you on a journey from the very beginning, when you first learn that digital tools can free you from the 9-to-5 grind, to a future where traditional companies might have no employees at all. It explains how the rise of AI, automation, and low-code platforms has made it possible for solopreneurs to launch products in days rather than months, and how you can turn a simple idea into a thriving SaaS business.

In Part 1, you'll discover the new world of entrepreneurship. You’ll learn what it means to wake up to an AI dashboard where your business works itself, and how AI agents are changing the game by taking over tasks once done by large teams. This part also covers the perfect storm of technology that makes it all possible.

Part 2 dives into the practical side. You get a detailed look at the AI stack and the digital tools you need to build an autonomous company. The book shares real stories of how I designed a digital team of AI agents to manage everything from customer support to marketing. It shows you how to move quickly from idea to execution, using rapid prototyping and constant feedback loops.

In Part 3, the focus shifts to making your business profitable. The book explains which business models work best with AI, how to generate recurring revenue, and why small, agile teams can outperform large corporations. It also tells the story of scaling a business from a modest million dollars to a vision of a billion-dollar company—all without traditional hiring.

Finally, Part 4 looks ahead. It explores a future where companies may run on digital teams instead of human employees, and discusses the challenges of trust, security, and regulation in an AI-driven world. The final chapter gives you clear next steps to start your own AI-powered micro-business, laying out a roadmap toward financial independence.

One-Person Unicorn is both a practical guide and a personal story. I share the ups and downs of my own journey in building and selling a SaaS product, and I offer honest advice based on what really works. Whether you are new to AI or already deep in the field, this book can help you see what is possible when you use technology to work smarter and build a business on your own terms.
