Omar Zenhom built Webinar Ninja in 2014 with a team and $300k-$500k annual payroll. Now AI lets individuals build software alone. The hard part isn't the code—it's finding a real problem people will pay to solve.
We're in an opportunity right now that is unprecedented. In 2014, I started a software business called Webinar Ninja. I had to hire a bunch of people to make this software a reality. We're talking about literally something like $300,000 to $500,000 in annual spend on salaries. Now it's 2026. We have AI. You can do this all yourself and you don't need to have any of these skills. Now, before you tell yourself, oh, this is not for me, I'm not a technical person, I don't know how to code, I don't have a team, none of that matters. Before you open a single tool, before you write a single prompt, before you spend a single dollar, you need to know the problem that you are solving. And I wanna be absolutely direct about something right now. The technology is the easy part. I've built many pieces of software the old-fashioned way as well as with AI, and I'm telling you, This part is the most challenging. AI cannot identify a real problem that real people have and are willing to pay to solve. That requires you.
