The Rules of Starting a Company Just Changed
Most people think you need a co-founder, funding, and a team before you can start a company. You don't. You need the right process — and the right AI agents to execute it.
Used toNow
Need a technical co-founder
AI agents build your product alongside you
Need $500K+ before you could start
A $249 entrance fee gets you building today
Need a full team
AI agents handle the research, drafts, and legwork, so one person can move like five
Take a year of trial and error
A 10-week structured track, adapted to your stage, with a real deliverable every week
Mean going it alone
Access to our 100+ mentor network across Southeast Asia, invested in your outcome
End when the program did
You become part of a founder community for life — peers building alongside you, and a global network long after graduation
