Build It or Kill It is a business experiment podcast that takes one startup idea per episode and stress-tests it before anyone spends a year building it. Each installment works through the market, customer pain, competition, pricing, startup costs, margins, distribution, technology, operational complexity, scalability, and realistic paths to profitability. Some ideas survive the scrutiny, some need a pivot, and some are declared dead on arrival. The show covers everything from AI businesses and online services to local companies, software, marketplaces, e-commerce, media, and unusual niche ventures. The aim is not startup hype but learning to evaluate opportunities like an entrepreneur before risking serious time or money.

  • The AI Automation Agency: Gold Rush or Already Too Late? 21.09.2026 42p
    Every business wants AI. But most companies still struggle to turn powerful models into reliable workflows that actually save time, reduce costs, or make money.In Episode 2 of Build It or Kill It, we investigate whether starting an AI automation and agent implementation agency in 2026 is still a serious business opportunity or whether the market is already becoming crowded and commoditized.We break down the real business behind helping companies deploy AI agents, automate workflows, connect software, redesign operations, and move beyond simply giving employees access to another chatbot.We examine the economics, competition, and biggest questions:What are businesses actually willing to pay for?Is a generic AI automation agency still viable?Does specializing in one industry create a stronger business?Can one founder manage 10, 20, or even 50 clients?Which services create recurring revenue instead of one-time project income?What happens as AI tools become easier for companies to use themselves?Is the real value in building automations or in understanding the customer’s workflow better than anyone else?What would make this business defensible?We also test different pricing models, customer niches, startup costs, operational bottlenecks, and the cheapest way to land the first paying client before building an entire agency around the idea.Then comes the only question that matters:Build it, pivot it, or kill it?Build It or Kill It investigates startup ideas using market demand, competition, unit economics, real-world constraints, and actual numbers before deciding whether the opportunity deserves time and money.
