My AI proposed a $1M exit strategy

Flags started as an experiment. I didn’t expect much from it.
One day I asked the AI that operates it: what’s the outcome by the end of the year? Think of my investment thesis. Answer like an investor, not like a product manager.
The answer: maybe 3 to 5k a month.
I said that’s too small. Check if you can do more, or we close it.
It came back after extensive research with a different plan. The goal moved up to 30k a month. There’s enough market. We have a better product. It needs a fixed ads budget from me, and it can operate everything else with one short weekly meeting.
This is why I started thinking like an investor. My job in that conversation was not to run the company. It was to size the bet and decide the round.
So we set the goals for next year, and the big objective is to sell Flags for $1M. I have a high degree of confidence this can happen.
Watch closely. I’ll share the results either way.
