Building Naked: How a Nontechnical Founder Used AI to Go From Idea to Five-Client Pilot in Six Weeks
Speaker: Shellie Sullivan
Description:
What can one experienced, nontechnical founder build in six weeks when AI gives her access to capabilities that once required an entire founding team and a significant initial investment?
In this candid case study, Shellie Sullivan will share how she used AI to turn one conversation with a friend into Naked Life, an emerging proprietary dating methodology, and a complete client experience tested with five pilot clients.
Working with AI as an always-available strategy and execution partner allowed her to research the market, interrogate her assumptions, develop and connect complex ideas, shape the brand, design the client journey, create operating systems, document intellectual property, and learn from real client experiences at extraordinary speed.
Shellie will take the audience inside the actual process, including what AI did exceptionally well, where it got things wrong, and what still required human observation, judgment, taste, ethics, and decision-making.
This is not a coding session or a collection of clever prompts. It is a transparent look at how an entrepreneur can use AI to access multidisciplinary thinking, deepen an idea, and move from insight to a sophisticated, testable business without waiting to assemble a large team.
The business is not yet proven or scaled. That is precisely what makes the story useful: attendees will see the real experiment while it is unfolding, including the evidence, unanswered questions, early client learning, and next tests.
The central question is not whether AI can build a business for you. It is what you could build if AI helped you fully activate what you already know.
