Shownotes

What if scale no longer meant bigger teams, bigger burn, and bigger complexity? On AIBiz, hosted by Avik, we explore how agentic AI is quietly reshaping entrepreneurship.

This episode is for founders, builders, and leaders who feel constrained by limited resources but are curious about building smarter. Tim Cortinovis shares why “single-handed unicorns” aren’t about working alone — they’re about solving a burning problem with clarity, simplicity, and AI-powered leverage.
