Henrik Werdelin, co-founder of Audos, is revolutionizing the startup ecosystem with an ambitious goal: to launch 100,000 companies a year using AI. This New York-based venture builds on Werdelin's 15 years of experience at Prehype, where he helped create brands like Barkbox. Now, Audos is leveraging AI to democratize entrepreneurship, enabling "everyday entrepreneurs" to build million-dollar businesses without technical skills.
The Vision Behind Audos
Audos is designed to capitalize on the current wave of mass layoffs and the lowered barriers to digital product creation thanks to AI. The platform offers AI tools that allow users to build sophisticated products using natural language, and it utilizes social media algorithms to find niche customers. This approach has already helped launch "low hundreds" of businesses, ranging from virtual golf swing coaches to AI nutritionists.
How Audos Works
- AI-Powered Business Development: Entrepreneurs interact with an AI agent that helps refine their business ideas and identify target customers.
- Revenue Share Model: Instead of taking equity, Audos takes a 15% revenue share, providing up to $25,000 in funding and access to AI tools and distribution channels.
- Rapid Customer Acquisition: The platform uses paid social media advertising to quickly test and validate business ideas.
The Future of Entrepreneurship
Werdelin envisions a future where millions of small businesses can thrive, creating a trillion-dollar turnover collectively. Audos is backed by $11.5 million in seed funding from investors like True Ventures, Offline Venture, and Bungalow Capital, along with high-profile angels such as Niklas Zennstrom and Mario Schlosser.
