A 1-person, $1 billion company isn't far-fetched anymore. With AI tools, permissionless distribution, and global markets — the leverage available to a single founder has never been higher.
We want to prove it in the shortest time possible.
Idea Guys is where speculation meets creation. 10 builders enter. A single mission: generate $100,000 in real revenue using AI or be eliminated.
Build anything: an AI OnlyFans, a consumer app, Polymarket arbitrage bots, trading bots, a content agency — whatever tf. You've got Claude Code, Cursor, and every AI tool to make it happen.
First to hit the target wins $100k on top. No teams. No funding rounds. Just raw execution streamed live to the world.
These founders proved the thesis. Solo builders making millions with AI. No teams. No VC. Just execution.
the precedent exists
This is education at the speed of entertainment. Every builder's journey — the wins, the breakdowns, the 3am pivots — becomes a live case study for the next generation.
We're not predicting the future of work. We're streaming it.
Enter The Arenaapplications are open. builders will be revealed closer to launch. each enters with $1,000 and unlimited time to prove themselves.
