Show HN: Founderly – an AI cofounder to take you from idea to launch

2 arunbhatia 0 8/18/2025, 7:42:58 AM

Hi HN,

I’ve been building www.founderly.xyz — a tool to help founders turn ideas into actual products.

The problem: a lot of people have startup ideas but get stuck because they don’t have a technical cofounder or the resources to hire one.

The approach: Founderly acts like an AI cofounder. Instead of being just one “assistant,” it spins up domain-specific agents (tech, design, marketing, legal) to guide you at different stages: • From rough idea → actionable plan • Plan → MVP • MVP → launch and early traction

We are opening early access soon. If you’re curious, you can join the waitlist here: www.founderly.xyz

I would love feedback from this community — especially around whether you see this as actually useful, and what would make it genuinely valuable to someone starting from scratch.
