Building AI Agents to Launch a Million Businesses
The Every Podcast
Ad break
Sponsor message for Pitch, highlighting AI features for presentations and collaboration.
Henrik Werdelin wants to launch a million businesses that each make $1M—and he’s doing it with AI.
After helping launch Barkbox and Ro Health through his incubator Prehype, Henrik is distilling everything he knows into Audos, a platform that helps you use AI agents to turn your idea into a profitable, lasting company.
We had him on AI & I to talk about “portfolio entrepreneurship”—a new breed of entrepreneurship shepherded in by AI, where founders build families of products around the same customer, instead of one moonshot idea. It’s a philosophy we hold close to our hearts at Every.
