The duo of Salvator Aiello and Monica Powers, two budding entrepreneurs and friends, made headlines when they sold their AI start-up for $150,000. What’s more impressive is that they built the start-up, named DimeADozen, with just a modest investment of $185. This news was reported by CNBC.
DimeADozen is an AI research tool specifically designed for testing business ideas. According to the official site, it can validate any business idea in seconds. Salvator, a software engineer, and Monica, a product designer, developed the tool as a side project. However, it quickly started generating substantial profits with minimal expenses.
The start-up was eventually bought by Felipe Arosemena and Danielle de Corneille, but Salvator and Monica remain actively involved in the company. They dedicate a few hours each week to nurture their brainchild. With this successful accomplishment, Salvator and Monica hope that DimeADozen will attract the attention of industry giants like Salesforce.
Salvator expressed his vision for the tool, saying, “The bigger vision is: It becomes a ubiquitous tool to run a business through to validate and learn about it.” The couple aims to make DimeADozen a valuable resource for businesses of all sizes.
In conclusion, Salvator and Monica’s journey from a modest investment to a successful AI start-up acquisition showcases their entrepreneurial spirit and the potential of their innovative research tool.
