Hunter Hammonds has launched four businesses in four months, each already doing over a million dollars in annual recurring revenue. He runs a company called Assembly, which builds creator-led B2B brands, and his stated goal is to build one company per month that hits a million-dollar run rate within its first 30 days. The businesses include Hey Friends (a done-for-you YouTube agency with Ali Abdaal), Off Menu (a full-service design agency), Viral Cuts (a premium short-form content agency with Sam Parr and Cody Sanchez), and Keyframe (an animation studio with Dan Koe). Three of the four are already doing multiple seven figures annually. Off Menu, he predicts, will crack a five million dollar run rate by the end of October.
