AI-coded telehealth startup MEDVi hits $1.8B revenue

MEDVi, a two-person telehealth startup selling GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, is on track to hit $1.8 billion in revenue this year. Founder Matthew Gallagher used AI tools to write the code and automate operations, fulfilling the prophecy of an AI-enabled solo unicorn.

–Gallagher built the entire platform using tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Midjourney for code, marketing, and customer service.
–The company's explosive growth fulfills Sam Altman's 2023 prediction of a one-person billion-dollar company.
–MEDVi operates as a streamlined middleman, connecting patients with independent prescribers and compounding pharmacies.
–The startup faces serious regulatory scrutiny, recently receiving an FDA warning letter over misleading AI-generated marketing.
