![]() How Siperb Builds at Scale: AI-Powered Development with a Team of EightSiperb's founder outlines a new model for building globally scalable technology companies at AstriCon 2026
By: Siperb At AstriCon 2026, held in Pasadena, California from March 5–8, Siperb founder Conrad De Wet presented a forward-looking model for structuring technology companies in the age of AI. Rather than endorsing the widely discussed notion of a single-person billion-dollar company, De Wet proposed a compelling alternative. "If I wanted to build a business for the future, I would make it trust-owned, globally scalable, with eight humans and any number of artificial intelligence behind that," De Wet told attendees. The model centres on a trust-owned structure built around a small panel of approximately eight humans, supported by an effectively unlimited number of AI agents. Human Judgment at the Core De Wet argued that this structure preserves what matters most in a technology business: human judgment, accountability, and collaborative decision-making. AI agents, in this model, are leveraged for execution and scale — not for strategy or governance. This philosophy is not theoretical. Siperb itself operates on exactly this model, having built a communications platform spanning nine device platforms with a team of fewer than eight people by deeply integrating artificial intelligence across development, infrastructure, and customer support operations. CI/CD and Automated Deployment On the practical side of development, Siperb uses GitHub Actions to power its CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated deployment of Asterisk containers via AWS Fargate. This infrastructure- The result is a development operation that punches well above its weight — maintaining a globally distributed, multi-platform, real-time communications product while remaining lean enough to move quickly and respond to customer needs.
