Ohh boy! I'm building 10 startups in 100 days.

Six years ago at a funeral (all good stories start at a funeral right?), a close family friend told me his tenth company was the one that worked. The first nine failed or went nowhere.

For years he thought something was wrong with him. Then he became an early-stage investor. Same math. Only one in eight to eleven companies ever returned anything… most eventually went out of business.

This has stuck with me because of the balance of commitment. VCs get to spread risk across a portfolio of founders with ideas. They deploy capital founders expecting most to fail. Founders? We pick one idea and bet everything on it with about 1 out of 10 hitting it.

The motivational stories we hear are about the ones that made it. We never hear about the ones that lost everything, including their reputation.

So, as a personal challenge, I'm running an experiment. Can AI replace what early stage capital usually provides? Condensed timelines, specialized knowledge, a hired team of experts and workers?

I’m building 10 startups in 100 days.

My goal is not to create 10 startups, it’s to find product market fit (PMF) by cycling through as many idea to MVPs as it takes. 

I’ll be launching my first here in a few days and I would love any insights I could get.

I'm documenting the entire journey on X and my blog. This feels like speed dating but with ideas and MVPs.

Looking forward to learning how ProductHunt works and hopefully building some great friendships here.
