Zero To Millions In Revenue With AI - Anthony Franco And Lily Patrascu

Multimillionaire Investor Shares How Entrepreneurs Can Grow From Zero To Millions In Revenue With AI - Anthony Franco And Lily Patrascu Anthony Franco, a seven-time founder with six exits and co-author of the Wiser Method, shares how entrepreneurs can grow from zero to millions in revenue with AI. He emphasizes that while AI can help rapidly build and iterate on products, the real differentiator lies in authentic, human-driven go-to-market strategies. Franco warns against overrelying on automated funnels and noisy outreach, stressing that the first sales must come from direct, one-on-one engagement rooted in a deep understanding of customer pain. AI is a powerful tool for accelerating product development, gathering insights, and crafting messaging—but founders must do the hard work of personal selling and audience building. His message is clear: use AI to support your journey, but don’t skip the human connections that drive real growth. About The Guest Anthony Franco is a seasoned entrepreneur and builder with over two decades of experience founding six companies, including multiple successful exits—two of which were acquired by public companies. With a career spanning technology, AI, manufacturing, consumer goods, and digital strategy, Anthony has a proven track record of transforming ideas from concept to revenue. He’s led teams, launched breakthrough products, opened new markets, and coached founders through every stage of the startup journey, from inception to acquisition. His hands-on, no-nonsense approach to business growth has made him a trusted advisor and operator in the startup and innovation space. In recent years, Anthony embedded himself with OneReach—the creators of the world’s most advanced AI orchestration platform—and uncovered the limitations of outdated business systems like Agile, Lean, Six Sigma, and BPM. In response, he co-developed the WISER Method, a practical framework that empowers teams to rethink, optimize, and automate work using the capabilities of modern AI. Today, Anthony shares his expertise through his podcast How to Founder, consults companies on launching, scaling, and exiting, and trains leaders to apply the WISER Method to build faster, leaner, more resilient organizations. He’s not a theorist or futurist—he builds what works and teaches others to do the same.
