In this episode of Founders Future, with host Ammar Elm, Stephen Monaco reveals how he grew DataStorm Technologies from $0 to $50M in annual revenue (with a $71M exit) through unconventional tactics—and how he's now launching the Momentum Mastermind to teach his framework to solopreneurs. The former Warner Bros marketer turned AI strategist shares why he's abandoning corporate consulting to focus on small businesses, emphasizing guerrilla marketing, asymmetrical thinking, and his fanatical approach to customer feedback that made ProComm software an industry leader.
Stephen breaks down his upcoming mastermind (priced at $5K/year) combining military strategy with AI-powered execution, while admitting his current challenge: balancing tech stack setup with his "authority meets accessibility" leadership style. He drops hard-won advice for new founders—"Never operate in stealth mode"—and explains why studying Ibm's AI innovations since 2015 gives his program an edge in today's rapidly evolving landscape.
