The One-Person Million-Dollar AI Agency: An Agent-Stack Blueprint With the Math
boringmarketer · x · 2026-11-10
boringmarketer sketches a one-person million-dollar AI agency, riffing on Sam Altman's note that tech CEOs are betting on the first one-person billion-dollar company. Agencies averaged $163k revenue per FTE in 2025 (Promethean Research), so a $1M agency normally needs 6 people doing sales and account work — website, ads, Google listings, reports, calls. His paper blueprint: one niche, three productized tiers, a sales agent team, a delivery agent team that asks before acting, plus the unit math at each step. All numbers are placeholders to replace with your own.
