60-Day Founder: A Builder's Guide to Production AI, book cover
What this book is

The cost of building collapsed. What to build, and proving it works, did not.

AI changed who gets to build at all, and what it takes to build something fundable. This book is the answer to that shift: a structured sixty-day path from idea to evidence, written for founders and small teams.

Foundations, not hand-waving

Part I gives non-technical founders the technical ground floor, and technical founders the strategic context, to make real production AI decisions.

A day-by-day sprint

Part II is the 60-day execution roadmap: validate, build the MVP, prove it with users, set the business foundation, and go to market. You always know what "done" looks like.

Written by building it

The author built the SoloFrame platform itself using this exact methodology. The book is the map; the platform is the proof it works.

Part I · Chapters 1 to 7

Foundations of AI-Driven Entrepreneurship

Before the sprint, the ground floor: how AI changed the business, the technical concepts that matter, and the infrastructure decisions that decide whether your product survives contact with real users.

1

The New Age of AI in Business

Why the rules changed, and what it now takes to build something fundable.

2

Technical Foundations of AI for Entrepreneurs

The concepts you actually need. No PhD required, no hype.

3

AI Platforms, Tools, and Ecosystems

The landscape, and how to pick without locking yourself in.

4

Prompt Engineering and Workflow Automation

Turning models into reliable, repeatable work.

5

Designing and Automating AI Workflows

From one-off prompts to systems that run themselves.

6

Foundations of AI Integration

Wiring AI into a real product without it falling apart.

7

AI-Optimized Infrastructure

The cost, latency, and reliability decisions that make or break production AI.

Part II · Chapters 8 to 13

The 60-Day Execution Roadmap

Sixty days, idea to evidence. Each chapter is a window of days with concrete objectives, so you always know what you should be doing and what "done" looks like.

Days 1 to 10

Ideation and Validation

Find a real problem and prove people care before you build.

Days 11 to 25

Pricing, structure, and the operating basics a real company needs.

Get your first customers, build the fundraising artifacts, and set up to scale what's working.

About the author

Mike Sullivan

Founder of SoloFrameHub and creator of the SoloFrame multi-vertical AI engine. He built the platform behind GTM OS, Digital Wellness Academy, and 60-Day Founder: production AI products, shipped solo with AI doing the work of a team.

This book is the honest version of how that happened: the same sixty-day method, written down, so the next founder does not have to figure it out from scratch.
