What it does
Locus Founder builds and runs a whole business for you. Most AI tools only build you a landing page, Locus Founder interviews you, designs the brand, and ships a full-stack app. Locus Founder doesn't stop there; it sets up Stripe payments, sources your product, creates and publishes ads, and so much more. Locus Founder is always working in the background and pings you to approve any decisions or spending. No templates, no forms, no code. Locus Founder is backed by YCombinator.
Locus Founder is an AI co-founder that helps entrepreneurs launch and grow internet businesses from a single chat. Turn an idea into a live business, website, offer, and growth plan.
Locus Founder is an AI cofounder for internet businesses — the AI agent that builds and runs the whole business for you, not just one piece of it. You describe an idea in plain language — over text or the web — and the agent does the work between the idea and the customer: it builds a real website on its own domain, runs cold outreach from your inbox, creates and tunes ad campaigns, keeps a CRM of every lead and customer, and wires in Stripe to take payments. You keep the final word — anything customer-facing waits for your approval. Where an AI website builder or a no-code app builder gives you a tool to operate yourself, and a general AI agent answers questions, Locus is an AI business…from locusfounder.com

FounderaJul 2026 · foundera.app · ▲30Most people are not validating their ideas before start building it! I am a 5th time tech founder, gaming included and I built & managed startup accelerator programs. I know lot of things about early stage founders and their pains as I have been there. That is why I am building Foundera. It’s an AI-Native Accelerator for tech builders. Today the problem is; most of the AI coding tools opens with a chat and asking “type your idea and start building”. This is wrong! I want to reduce the time and money spent on ideas that nobody asked for. Try it at https://foundera.app and give me…

TheBizness.ai2025 · thebizness.ai · ▲11Hey HN! I’m a solo founder who got tired of not knowing which marketing efforts were actually driving revenue for my projects. Google Analytics would tell me about visits, but not which clicks turned into paying customers, and as a small business owner I wasted time and money on the wrong channels. I built TheBizness.ai to solve that. It’s an analytics tool that connects your UTM tracking data with Stripe payments (and other sales data) to pinpoint exactly which campaigns, referrals, or ads result in real revenue. In short, it shows which marketing channels are actually worth it – no more…
- FPFounderBox: Prompt → Form company, website, payment, suppliers and SOP2025 · founderbox.dev · ▲10
TLDR Type one sentence describing the business you want to start. FounderBox returns a full “business kit”: your company name, incorporation guidance, website, Stripe checkout, supplier matches, ads, and a basic SOP to operate. Why we built this We all know this pain: Starting a small business today means gluing together five consultants, seven subscriptions, and hundreds of small tasks, even though 90% of it has already been automated by AI. You have lawyers charging $1,200 to file basic paperwork, marketing consultants writing the same “About Us” copy with ChatGPT, and agencies billing $3K…

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
