FounderVault Get access
Taking 5 new founders per week

Your AI team works while you sleep.
You make the calls.

FounderVault gives you a managed AI operator and dev team on a private network, accessible from your phone. Your Ops agent sets everything up, manages the other agents, and reports back. You describe what you want, approve what ships, and stay in control without touching infrastructure.

The problem

Everyone is building with AI. Most are stuck configuring it.

Copilots give you autocomplete. Agent tools give you a weekend project duct-taping Docker, DNS, and five dashboards together. You wanted to build a product, not become a DevOps engineer for your AI stack.

The offer

Not a copilot. A team.

You get a private workspace with an AI operator (Ops) that manages your entire dev team: architect, coder, reviewer. Ops sets up your environment, configures the agents, monitors health, and gives you executive summaries. The team works in parallel. You steer from your phone.

No exposed ports. No public attack surface. Your workspace runs on a private network, reachable only through your secure link. The agents can't be reached from the internet.

What it feels like

What your week looks like

Day 1

Your Ops agent says hi

You log in to Mattermost. Ops asks about your project, your stack, your priorities. It configures your agent team, connects your repo, and sets the defaults. No call, no setup guide. The conversation is the onboarding.

Day 2-3

First features ship

You describe a feature from your phone. Architect breaks it down. Coder implements it. Reviewer catches issues before merge. CI runs. Preview link lands in your chat. You click it, give feedback, move on.

Week 1

You have a routine

Morning: Ops gives you a summary of what shipped overnight and what's next. You dispatch new tasks from the train. Afternoon: review a PR from the couch. Evening: check the preview on your phone. The team keeps working.

Month 1

Your team knows your codebase

The agents have context. They know your patterns, your preferences, your architecture decisions. New features ship faster because the team has memory. You're building a product, not managing tools.

Your team

One operator. Three specialists. Zero maintenance.

Ops

Your AI operator. Sets up everything, manages the other agents, monitors health, handles incidents, and gives you executive summaries. The first agent you talk to and the one that runs the show.

Architect

Decomposes your requests into concrete tasks. Plans the implementation, picks the right approach, and hands structured work to the coder.

Coder

Writes the code, creates branches, opens PRs. Works in parallel on multiple tasks. CI runs automatically on every push.

Reviewer

Reviews every PR before merge. Catches bugs, flags issues, suggests improvements. Your quality gate, always on.

What's included

Everything you need. Nothing to maintain.

Phone-first command center

Dispatch tasks, review PRs, approve deploys, check status. Everything happens in Mattermost chat on your phone. No laptop required.

Private network, zero attack surface

Your workspace runs on an isolated private network. No exposed ports, no public endpoints. Agents can't be reached from the internet. Security by architecture, not by configuration.

Git, CI/CD, and deploys built in

Private git hosting, automated CI/CD pipelines, and preview deploys. Every merge builds, tests, and deploys. Open the preview link from chat.

Customizable defaults

Strong defaults out of the box. Want to change how your agents work? Talk to Ops. Adjust personalities, workflows, model assignments, and priorities through chat.

Your keys, your models

Bring your own API keys. Choose which models each agent uses. Use cheaper models for routine work, stronger ones when precision matters. Full control, no markup.

Export everything, anytime

Your code is yours. Full git repo with history, Docker images, deploy runbooks. Leave whenever you want with everything you built. No lock-in.

How we think

Rules we won't break

Your workspace is isolated

Dedicated environment, never shared with other customers. Your data is never training data.

Speed is the default

Agents ship by default. Step in to review, gate, or slow down only when you choose to.

No exposed surface

Private network only. No rogue agents on the internet, no open ports, no public endpoints.

No token markup

Your API keys, your models, your bill. We never resell tokens or add hidden fees to your AI spend.

Pricing

Less than a day of freelance dev work

Both plans include the full team: Ops, Architect, Coder, Reviewer. No feature gates on agent quality. Pay more for capacity and team access. Founding members lock their rate permanently.

FAQ

Questions

What is the Ops agent?

Ops is the AI operator that manages your entire workspace. It's the first agent you talk to when you log in. It configures the other agents, monitors system health, handles incidents, tracks priorities, and gives you executive summaries. Think of it as your AI chief of staff. You talk to Ops, Ops runs the team.

How is this different from Cursor, Devin, or Claude Code?

Those are single-agent tools that help you code. FounderVault is a managed team: multiple specialized agents working in parallel with an operator coordinating them. You don't pair-program with a bot. You describe what you want and a team delivers it, with planning, implementation, review, and deployment handled for you. And you run it all from your phone.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe what you want in plain language, approve work in chat, and click preview links. If you can describe a feature and review a screenshot, you can run your team. Technical founders can still inspect repos, review diffs, and gate merges when they want control.

What does "bring your own keys" mean?

You sign up for an API key with a model provider (like Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter) and plug it into your workspace. Your agents use your key directly. You see exactly what you spend, you choose which models each agent uses, and we never mark up a cent. Most founders spend $50-150/mo on model usage.

Is my data private?

Your workspace runs on a dedicated, isolated environment on a private network. It's never shared with other customers and never used as training data. The only thing that leaves your workspace is the prompt to the model provider you chose, under your own key. You can export your full repo with git history anytime.

What languages and stacks do you support?

TypeScript, Go, and Python out of the box, with CI/CD pipelines pre-configured for each. The agents can work with other languages too, but these three have the best defaults and tooling support.

Can I customize how the agents work?

Yes. Talk to your Ops agent. Want the coder to be more verbose? Ask Ops. Want to switch the architect to a different model? Ask Ops. Want to change review strictness, add custom workflows, or adjust priorities? All through chat. Strong defaults out of the box, full control when you want it.

What if I want to leave?

Export your full git repos with history, get your Docker images, and take a deploy runbook for the host of your choice. Your code is yours. Cancel anytime, take everything. We also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first month.

Is there a free trial?

No. Each workspace requires dedicated infrastructure, so we charge from day one. But your first month comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee: if you're not shipping faster, send a short feedback email and get a full refund. We'd rather have 10 committed founders than 100 tourists.

We onboard 5 new founders per week so every workspace gets proper attention. Leave your email and what you're building. We'll reach out when your slot opens.

No spam. One message when your workspace is ready.
