CROSS-CATEGORY: Two Separate Teams Are Now Running Real Companies With AI in the CEO Seat — Skyfall AI Is Buying One, JettFounder Claims to Already Be One
Skyfall AI — founded by Sam Pasupalak and Kaheer Suleman, who sold Maluuba to Microsoft for ~$160M in 2017 — plans to buy a small B2B SaaS or e-commerce company for up to $1M and run pricing, marketing, support, finance and operations with AI as CEO, targeting 2x revenue in six months while publicly documenting failures (Forbes, July 20). Separately, JettFounder markets itself as a SaaS company where all 14 'employees' are named AI agents (Jett as CEO, Luna on product, Axel on engineering), shipping OnboardAI in private beta. Skyfall is the credible experiment with named operators and a stated methodology ('Enterprise World Models,' tested on RollerCoaster Tycoon first); JettFounder is self-reported with no disclosed metrics and should be read as positioning. Together they mark the moment 'agents run the company' moved from thought piece to two funded attempts.
