A new era for solo operators

Don't hire an agency.

Become one.

The same stack I use to run a €2M Shopify brand. Solo. No retainer. No ramp-up call. No Friday slide deck.

Launching soon · Founding price for the first 10

Coming soon

Full walkthrough video
shipping with launch.

What's actually in the box

Not a course.
A working production stack.

Concrete files, configs and tools — already running on a €2M Shopify brand.

Research

Know your customer
before they tell you.

Avatar reports built from real customer voice — not 6-month-old desk research. See what your buyers say today, what your rivals shipped this week, where the next angle lives.

Analysis

Decisions in 90 seconds, not 4 days.

Andromeda-compliant Meta audit on demand. Daily brief at 8am across Meta, Google, Klaviyo, Omnisend, Shopify — anomalies surfaced, decisions waiting. Weekly playbook auto-printed Sunday, so Monday starts decided.

Production

20–30 creatives a week.
Every one briefed by data.

UGC-grade video, cinematic lifestyle, brand-matched stills — produced at the volume Andromeda actually rewards, each tied to this week's audit signal. The agency ships 4-8.

The other AI shelf

Stop bookmarking
AI threads.

Your Twitter feed is a graveyard.

"Connect Claude Code to Shopify." "Connect ChatGPT to your CRM." "Add an AI agent for Klaviyo." "Build your own MCP for X."

Tutorials. Threads. Twelve-tab guides. Notion bookmarks you'll never reopen.

Each one is a Tuesday afternoon you'll never get back — wired into something half-broken, untested in production, pointed at fake demo data, abandoned three weeks later when the next thread drops.

This is the opposite.

One stack. Already wired. Already running on a real €2M Shopify brand for 18 months. Tested against real customer data, real Meta accounts, real Klaviyo flows, real revenue.

You don't connect anything. You don't read another tutorial. You don't write another .env from scratch.

You inherit a system that already works — pre-loaded with the data layer it took 18 months and €5,000/month to assemble.

"Connect AI to things" is for builders.
This is for operators.

A typical Tuesday.

Same day. Same brand. Two ways to operate.

With your $5K/month agency

  • 9:00 You ping Slack to ask about yesterday's Meta performance.
  • 14:30 Account manager replies: "I'll loop in the analyst, expect numbers Thursday."
  • 15:00 You receive 4 creative variations · 2 from last week's brief.
  • 17:00 Friday Google Slides arrives · 12 pages of charts, no decisions.
  • Mo+1 "Strategic alignment call" · 45 min · 3 people · no outcome.

With Become The Agency

  • 8:00 Daily brief lands in your inbox · yesterday's Meta + Google + Klaviyo + Shopify, anomalies flagged.
  • 9:15 /fb-audit · Andromeda compliance check, 4 specific actions, 90 seconds.
  • 11:00 Avatar scrape on Reddit + TikTok · 3 new pain points discovered yesterday, 5 testable angles.
  • 14:00 8 new creatives generated via Arcads + Nanobanan, briefed by today's audit · live by 16:00.
  • Sun 22:00 Weekly playbook PDF auto-generated · ready for Monday morning, no human in the loop.

"You're not paying
for marketing.
You're paying for
someone else's
analyst's lunch break."

The math

With your agency

$5,000/month

Year 1 $60,000
Year 2 $60,000
Year 3 $60,000
3-year total $180,000
The stack

With Become The Agency

$2,997 once + ~$700/mo API

Year 1 ($2,997 + $8,400) $11,397
Year 2 (API only) $8,400
Year 3 (API only) $8,400
3-year total $28,197

3-year savings

$151,803

API costs (~$700/mo) cover Claude Code Max + scraping infra + creative generation + research APIs. Scale up if you're paying $7K or $10K/mo to your agency — savings grow with your retainer.

The hidden stack

The retainer is just
the appetizer.

When you add up everyone agencies pull into the chain — the media team, the creative shop, the UGC actors, the email guy, the "fractional CMO" — your real monthly bill is 2-4× the retainer they quoted you.

What you actually pay for
Monthly cost

Media agency retainer

Meta + Google ads management. The "core" line item.

$5,000

Creative agency or freelance designer

Static + motion creatives. Often separate from media.

$1,500 – $3,000

UGC creators · paid actors

$200–800 per video × 4-8 a month. The Andromeda tax.

$1,200 – $6,400

Email / CRM consultant

Klaviyo flows, retention, deliverability. Separate quote.

$1,000 – $2,500

Fractional CMO · strategist

For when you need someone to "tie it all together".

$2,000 – $5,000

Real monthly stack

What an "agency-run" brand actually pays

$10,700 – $23,500/mo

$128K – $282K / year

With Become The Agency

One stack. AI does the rest.

~$700/mo

$8,400 / year · No retainer

No casting calls. No video shoots. No invoices from 5 different vendors. AI generates the UGC, the lifestyle, the stills, the briefs, the audits, the reports — at the volume Andromeda actually rewards.

The new operator class

You don't just save money.
You become the founder of an AI-piloted ecom brand.

Every channel, every creative, every audit, every report — AI-driven, founder-owned, running while you sleep. That's the brag at the next dinner. That's the headline in your next pitch.

A note from the founder

Why I'm selling something
I built for myself.

For three years I paid an agency €5,000 a month. They had nice slides. They were polite. They were always slightly late.

One day I added it up: €180,000 over three years. For decisions I could have made faster, with better data, in my own terminal.

So I built the system that replaces them. Not because I'm anti-agency — because they were never the bottleneck. The bottleneck was waiting for someone else's calendar to clear.

This stack is the answer I gave myself. It runs my brand at €2M solo. I sleep better. I ship daily. I own every line of code, every prompt, every output.

I'd rather see 100 founders own their stack than 100 agencies milk monthly retainers.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Is this a software product or a course? +
It's a working production stack. Code, MCPs, skills, knowledge base — already configured, already running on a 2M€ Shopify brand. You're not learning to fish; you're getting the boat.
Do I need to know how to code? +
Comfort with terminal basics is enough — 4 training videos walk through it. If that sounds painful, get the DFY tier and I deploy it for you. No coding skills needed for the operational use, just for the initial setup.
What happens if I outgrow the stack? +
You own the source code, configs, and skills. You can fork, modify, extend, integrate with anything. No vendor lock-in. The stack scales with you because you control every piece.
Can I use the stack with clients of my own? +
Yes. Buy once, use it on as many brands as you operate, advise, or charge fees on. Run a small advisory practice? A fractional CMO gig? Help a friend's brand on the side? Fold this stack into your offer and bill what you want for the output. You become the agency, literally.

The only thing you can't do is repackage and resell the stack itself as a product. The capability is yours. The asset stays yours.
Is there a refund policy? +
No. The stack ships as unencrypted source code — the moment you download it, you have it. So all sales are final, by design.

We trust you to be the kind of operator who pays for what they use. If you have questions, ask them before you buy — DM me, jump on a 15-min discovery call, watch the demo Loom in full. Once you commit, you're in.
What about my data and privacy? +
All API calls go through your accounts (your Meta, Klaviyo, Shopify, Claude). Nothing routes through me. Your customer data never leaves your infrastructure.
