Works with the AI you may already pay for — Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor. Their plan (~$20/mo) is the only subscription; the kit adds nothing monthly. No AI experience needed. Don't have one? Done-For-You ($1,499) builds it for you.

The difference

AI app builders make apps. The Founder's Kit builds the whole business — formation, asset creation, ops, IP, automation, social, and more.

Launch a business you own. Keep the system that builds the next one.

It gets smarter

The only kit that learns your business.

Your Chief of Staff watches how you work. The moment it catches you doing the same task twice, it offers to take it over — for good.

The self-learning loop

1
It watches how you work
Every task, quietly logged in your own files — never a black box.
2
It spots the same job twice
Repeat work — posting the P&L, chasing reviews — gets flagged automatically.
3
It proposes a skill
It writes the smallest reliable automation and shows you exactly what it'll do.
You approve — it runs on its own
From then on it fires automatically. Turn it off anytime — it's your file.

Now running on autopilot

Weekly P&L → QuickBooksAUTO
Brand monitoringAUTO
@Win-back emailsAUTO
Restock remindersAUTO

You're always in control — nothing runs until you say yes, and every skill is a plain file you can read or delete.

What you can build

Real businesses, set up and live.

Musicians, taquerias, side-projects, lawn crews, lemonade stands — one sitting each, and every one is owned by the founder.

Own it, don't rent it

Stack businesses. Not Subscriptions.

Buy once, own everything, and reuse the kit for the next business. Below: the stack a new online business is told it needs, each at its entry tier, billed monthly. Add up a single month, then compare it to owning your kit outright.

The subscription way

$237–337/mo
Shopify · store$39
HubSpot · CRM$20
Zoho Inventory$39
SEO / GEO tools · search & AI-answer visibilitySemrush, Ahrefs, Profound, Peec AI…$100–200
Intercom · support$39
PostHog + Clerk · free tiers$0

Every month, sales or none. Stop paying and the store, the CRM, and the data go dark — the business lives in someone else's account.

The kit way

$129 once

A fraction of one month, one time. Your AI sets you up on services you own — website, database, payments, email, sign-in — all starting on free tiers.

Domain ~$12/yr
Card fees only when you get paid
We never take a cut of your sales

Stop paying us? Nothing happens. The kit, the accounts, and the business are already yours.

Even next to the AI app builders

Lovable and Replit build with AI too. The difference is what happens next: theirs runs on a subscription, on their servers. Yours is a one-time buy that lives in accounts you own.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

Which AI do I need?+

Any AI coding agent you can type into: Codex, Claude Code, and others. You bring the AI subscription you already pay for; the kit brings everything it needs to know. Never installed one? The Quick Start Guide shows every step.

What's actually in a kit?+

Templates, playbooks, and step-by-step instructions written for your AI to execute — plus plain-English guides for you. It arrives as a private folder of files. Your AI reads it, asks you a few questions, and starts building.

I don't write code. Can I use this?+

Yes — that's who kits are for. If you can paste one line into a chat window and answer questions about your business, you can run a kit. Your AI handles the technical work and explains what it's doing in plain English.

Who is a kit for?+

People with a business in their head and no time to wire it up — musicians selling merch, restaurants taking their own reservations, product managers shipping a side project, first-time founders on day one, and families giving a kid a real first business. If you can describe your idea, a kit can set it up. Families start here →

What does "one sitting" mean?+

Sit down once, get up with a business that's live. In a single session your AI walks you through creating the accounts your business needs — domain, website, payments, email — and connects them. You stay at the keyboard to approve steps and enter payment details. It does the rest.

How do I get the kit after I buy?+

Add your GitHub username at checkout (optional) and we invite that account to your kit's private repo within minutes. No username? Your kit is ready as a zip download on your order page the moment payment clears. Either way, you paste one line into your AI and it takes over.

What will I pay besides the kit?+

The kit is one-time, and we never take a cut of your sales. Your business's services have their own costs — typically a domain (~$12/yr) and card fees when you get paid; the default stack's free tiers cover the rest at the start. Your AI names each cost before you commit — nothing appears later that it didn't name first.

Is this a subscription?+

The kits are not. You pay once and the kit is yours for life — use it, reuse it, come back to it next year. The one optional subscription is hosting on our site (first 3 months included, then $12/month, cancel anytime). Cancel and the page comes down when your period ends; the kit stays yours for life.

What's the Gate Guarantee?+

The kit checks its own work: every playbook ends in a pass/fail check, and the built-in kit-doctor report shows every check's state. Complete all 9 playbooks, and if a check stays failing that support can't fix within 5 business days, email your kit-doctor report within 60 days: half your money comes back, and you keep the kit and everything you built. Full terms

Does this work outside the US?+

Yes. A kit is playbooks and templates your own AI runs — nothing in it is US-only. The one place geography bites is card payments: your AI checks whether Stripe serves your country in the first five minutes, and talks through a local processor (Paystack, Razorpay, and others) if not. On EU/UK orders Stripe acts as merchant of record and handles VAT at checkout, so it never becomes your paperwork.
