James Tran
Founder
Docify.ai
James Tran is the founder of Docify.ai, an AI-native document intelligence platform that reached $1M ARR with a team of two and no outside funding. Before Docify, he spent five years as a product manager at enterprise software companies — experience that taught him exactly what he didn't want to build and how not to build it.
Docify was built from day one around the principle that a two-person team with the right AI-native workflows can outship a ten-person team without them. James handles product and distribution; his co-founder handles engineering. Between them, they have shipped 14 major features in 18 months, each one validated with paying customers before it was built.
At BuildWithAI Summit, James shares two sessions — a Day 1 talk on building a $1M ARR AI startup with a team of two, and the Day 1 closing keynote on the mindset that separates builders who ship from builders who plan. Both sessions are built from the specific, unglamorous details of what it actually takes to go from zero to product-market fit when AI is doing a significant portion of the work.

Product
How Docify.ai went from side project to $1M ARR with two people and no outside funding — the AI-native workflows that made a tiny team move like a larger one. James covers pricing, distribution, and the three decisions he'd make differently if he started today.
