The New Way to Build a Startup (Audience x AI x Speed)

Join me as I chat with Jordan Mix to discuss a comprehensive 35-step playbook for building profitable companies in the AI age. The conversation covers everything from finding niches and building audiences to leveraging AI tools for product development and scaling through automation. They emphasize the importance of creating a business ecosystem rather than isolated products and maintaining a culture of shipping new ideas consistently.

Key Points:

• Build a business on the back of a trend by finding an underserved niche and understanding their pain points
• Use AI tools like Manus, V0, Bolt, and Cursor to build your product while keeping your team small
• Create an audience on one platform first before expanding, and partner with creators for distribution
• Focus on retention before growth, and consider building a portfolio of businesses that complement each other
