Gil Allouche

I'm building a company that runs itself.

And I'm doing it in public.

I'm Gil Allouche. I took Silver Spotfire from $50K to $1.5M ARR, then built Metadata.io from $0 to $15M ARR, raised $50M, and turned it into the leader in B2B advertising.

Now I'm going all-in on the next thing: a company with zero employees that generates revenue autonomously using AI. Not a consulting business. Not an agency. A machine.

I'm sharing everything along the way — the wins, the failures, the playbooks, the templates, and the tools that actually work. If you're on the same journey, this page is for you.

Lessons Learned (So Far)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
01

Distribution beats infrastructure. Always.

I spent a month building 7 autonomous agents, 3 orchestration frameworks, cron jobs, heartbeats, and monitoring dashboards. Revenue: $0. Every AI business making $1M+ was built by someone who had an audience first.

02

Agents don’t self-manage (yet).

My agents completed tasks when given specific instructions but never proactively created follow-up work or unblocked themselves. "Zero-human company" is the goal, not today’s reality. I drive, AI executes.

03

One project beats five.

I launched 5 projects in parallel — scattered energy, zero depth, zero revenue. Now it’s one site, one audience, one mission. Focus is the force multiplier.

04

Security isn’t optional.

One of my VMs was compromised via SSH brute force within days. 87K failed login attempts. Lesson: key-only SSH + fail2ban from minute one, every time.

I post weekly on LinkedIn about what's working, what's not, and the exact tools and playbooks I'm using. If you're building with AI or thinking about it, follow along — and reach out if I can help.
