Why This Challenge Exists

The journey from traditional entrepreneurship to an AI-native future.

Bola 'Vibe' Ogunlana

Bola "Vibe" Ogunlana

Founder, AISaas Ascent

"I've built businesses that made millions by teaching what I knew. Now I want to build something that actually *does* what I know. The difference might be everything."

The Origin: A Shift in Perspective

After years building successful consulting and info-product businesses, Bola experienced an AI awakening. He realized the potential to not just augment, but to fundamentally reshape problem-solving and value delivery. This project is born from a desire to move beyond legacy models and embrace an AI-native approach.

"The AI Founder's Story" isn't just about building a SaaS; it's a public experiment in transforming entrepreneurial identity and methodology in the age of AI. It's about demonstrating how Agentic workflows and "vibe coding" can empower solo founders to achieve significant impact.

The Old Way vs. The New Way

The Old Way: Team & Manual Scale
  • Reliance on large teams for execution.
  • Manual, time-intensive processes.
  • Scaling knowledge through teaching (info products).
  • Traditional business models (consulting, courses).
  • Value gated by founder's direct involvement.
The New Way: Agentic & AI-Native
  • Leveraging AI agents for core operations.
  • Automated, intelligent workflows.
  • Scaling solutions through product (SaaS).
  • AI-native business model from the ground up.
  • Value delivered directly by AI systems.

What's At Stake?

"This isn't just a project; it's a public bet on a new way of building."

  • Financial Investment: £50,000 of personal capital.
  • Time Commitment: 18 months of dedicated focus, turning down lucrative consulting.
  • Reputation: Transitioning from "successful consultant" to "AI-native founder learning in public."
  • Personal Sacrifice: The inherent risks and challenges of deep entrepreneurial immersion.

The goal: To prove that individual founders can leverage AI to build profitable, impactful businesses without traditional scaling methods. The £100K target isn't just a number; it's validation.
