Original feed description
In a year when the frontier AI labs are spending tens of billions on training runs and scaling their teams into the thousands, one of 2026's fastest-growing agentic AI companies has exactly one employee.
His name is Arthur Vandelay. His company is Mojo Agentic AI. And his revenue, with zero outside funding and a Fortune 100 client roster, is on track to clear $30 million this year.
In this episode of AI-Curious, Arthur walks us through how he did it — a master class in vibe coding, the agentic harness architecture he built from scratch, and the human-in-the-loop and governance disciplines that let a one-person shop sell credibly into the Fortune 100.
We get into where the agentic AI hype is real and where it isn't, why the model is no longer the bottleneck, and what most enterprises are still getting wrong about putting autonomous agents into production.
If you're a builder, an operator, or an executive trying to figure out where agents actually fit in your business, this is one of the most concrete glimpses we've gotten this year into what a working agentic AI company looks like at scale.
