Solo founder runs SaaS portfolio using AI agents
A one-person venture studio called Inithouse has launched multiple minimum viable products, including a prediction platform and a song generator. These use AI-assisted React single-page apps. AI agents now handle repetitive tasks across the portfolio. The founder ran this setup for one full month. Agents took over work that solo operators often skip. Early data helps pinpoint which products to focus on. This approach spreads risk through small, quick bets rather than one big launch.
Solo founders once bet everything on a single SaaS idea, building in isolation until launch. Repetitive operations like monitoring or basic maintenance ate hours, leaving no bandwidth for market validation or sales funnels. Most stayed stuck tweaking code instead of selling. AI agents change that by automating the grunt work across multiple products at once. Founders can now diversify with minimal effort, using real usage data to double down on winners fast. The shift enables asynchronous operations that mimic a small team, freeing cycles for direct response marketing.
Analysis
This portfolio play is a massive trap if it feeds your builder's avoidance – more MVPs without PMF just means more abandoned repos. The real leverage is flipping agents toward revenue: today, chain Claude prompts to run simulated customer interviews on your top three SaaS ideas, scoring PMF signals before you touch code.
