Yesterday afternoon we officially launched Agency AI. My new company. We had over 500 businesses join our waiting list, now today I get to comb through the responses.

The best part of this launch is the number of people wanting to join our mission of shaping the future of company creation. The team is priority numero uno. We want the truly best people in the world, if that's you, please reach out, but our priority is to hire ten high-agency — cracked engineers, GTM is next.
