Founderly: An AI cofounder to take you from idea to launch

1 arunbhatia 0 8/20/2025, 9:01:28 AM

Hi HN,

I have been working on Founderly.xyz, a tool aimed at helping founders go from idea to product.

Many people have startup ideas but get stuck without a technical cofounder or the budget to hire one. Founderly tries to fill that gap by acting as an AI cofounder. Instead of a single assistant, it uses domain-specific agents (tech, design, marketing, legal) to help at different stages: • Idea → actionable plan • Plan → MVP • MVP → launch and early traction

We are opening early access soon: Founderly.xyz.

I would really appreciate feedback from this community - does this feel useful, and what would make it more valuable for someone starting out?
