Kansas City college student with hustle uses AI to turn dead leads into paying clients

Aaron Perry, a college student from Overland Park, has launched Misogi AI Solutions, a startup that uses artificial intelligence to convert unresponsive business leads into paying clients through automated text message conversations. The venture demonstrates how young entrepreneurs are leveraging AI tools to rapidly build scalable businesses while still pursuing their education.

What you should know: Perry began studying AI in February and has since transformed that knowledge into a profitable business model focused on lead nurturing.

• Misogi AI Solutions specializes in turning “lost leads” into sales by handling text message conversations with potential clients on behalf of businesses.
• The company offers a scalability quiz to help businesses determine if their goals align with AI-driven lead conversion services.

Why this matters: Perry’s success illustrates how accessible AI technology has become for young entrepreneurs looking to solve real business problems.

• “AI is this new way to kind of start a business a lot faster,” Perry explained. “The ability to have an idea and execute on that idea can happen within a weekend.”

The value proposition: The service addresses a common business pain point by automating time-consuming lead nurturing processes.

• “Why should they waste their time trying to get appointments on their calendar when they can outsource that to a company like mine, where we specialize in lead nurturing, getting those appointments on the calendar?” said Perry.

What they’re saying: Perry credits his entrepreneurial environment for driving his success.

• “Being in a house like this, we all push each other,” said Perry, referring to living with other college students who share entrepreneurial ambitions. “We all allow each other to see each person hustling when it’s 12 at night.”

The timing advantage: Perry believes current market conditions present an ideal opportunity for AI-focused startups.

• He encourages other ambitious entrepreneurs to learn about AI now, positioning the technology as a catalyst for rapid business development and execution.
