Operate Leaner Without Hiring Early — 5.3x Annualized ROI

You're running every role at once - ops, marketing, sales, admin - and Claude sits in a browser tab answering questions instead of doing the work. Agents can be your first hires, taking the repetitive load so you don't hire too early. Over two live days, on your real business tools, you put them to work.

The math: teams that adopt AI properly run 25.1% faster on AI-suitable tasks - about 2.5 hours back per person, every week - which compounds into a 5.3× annualized ROI (Harvard Business School × BCG; U.S. BLS labor data). Break-even is ~28 minutes saved per person per week.

Proven on real teams. The same shape of session we ran for Modern Health, where Product, Ops, Design and Engineering each shipped a working build on their own data in a single day; MPB, 5× faster listing throughput; and Type B Digital, operator output lifted 2.5×.

Join a live cohort of founders building the same day. Nobody experiments alone - you leave with working operations, marketing and sales agents on your real accounts, plus a founder's agent playbook for what to automate next.

Workshop agenda

Framing: agents as your first hires
Where a founder's time leaks, and how to think about agents as teammates you brief and trust.
Build block one: an operations agent
We pick the admin work that eats your week and build an agent to handle it on your tools.
Build block two: a marketing agent
You build an agent that keeps your content and presence moving without a team behind you.
Build block three: a sales agent
We build an agent that qualifies leads, preps follow-ups, and keeps your pipeline warm.
Put it to work
We get your agents running on your real accounts so they are doing the work, not sitting idle.
What next
Your shortlist of the next jobs to hand off, and the rhythm to manage your agents going forward.
