Why this exists

Most companies don’t fail because of bad ideas.
They fail because they start too late.

This program exists to help you start immediately. No 6-week onboarding. No rotating juniors. No 40-page SOWs. One dedicated engineer, in your tools, building this week.

The Offer

What $99 a month actually buys.

Not a support ticket. Not a rotating freelancer. Not an offshore team of 12 you never meet. One developer. Same person. Every month. For a year.

One dedicated developer

Your dev. Not a queue. Not a pool. Same person from kickoff to month 12.

25 focused hours · every month

Enough to ship an MVP, iterate core features, or launch a testnet contract. Top up at published rates if you need more.

Linear & Jira transparency

Every ticket, every commit, every hour logged. You see the work, not just the invoice.

Full GitHub access

Code lives in your repo. You own it. Day one. No lock-in, no escrow theatrics.

Weekly status call

30-minute sync. Blockers, priorities, next week. No 40-slide status decks. Ever.

Outcome guarantee

Working prototype or live URL in 30-45 days — or month 2 is on us. Full refund window for 14 days.

What this is not.

25 hours is a hard cap — not unlimited scope. Extra hours, additional roles (PM, designer, BA, DevOps), and production-grade enterprise work are all available, but they're paid add-ons at transparent published rates. We're straight about it upfront so you don't get a surprise invoice in month 3.

Your first 30 days

Real outcome by Day 30.

Not abstract milestones. Not "discovery phases." Concrete weekly deliverables you can screenshot and send to your investors.

Week 1

Define your AI use case

Discovery sprint with your dev. Audit your current stack, surface the highest-leverage AI use case, lock the 30-day deliverable.

Deliverable Locked spec · architecture diagram · 30-day timeline
Week 2

Build a working prototype

Your dev ships an end-to-end working prototype. Real data, real responses, real UI. Not a slide deck.

Deliverable Live prototype URL · GitHub repo · loom walkthrough
Week 3

Integrate into your workflow

Wire it into your real tools — Slack, your app, your CRM, your data warehouse. Test with internal users.

Deliverable Production integration · internal user feedback loop
Week 4

Launch your MVP

Soft-launch to your first batch of real users. Monitor, instrument, iterate. You ship.

Deliverable Live MVP · usage dashboard · v2 backlog

Day 31 onward: rinse, scale features, layer in additional roles (UI/UX, DevOps, BA) at published rates as you need them.

What you can build

Real use cases. Real outcomes.

Six concrete patterns Founding 100 members ship in their first 60 days. Pick the one closest to your problem — your dev tunes it to your stack.

AI copilots for internal teams

Sales co-pilot. Support co-pilot. Ops co-pilot. Bolted onto your existing tools so your team stops leaving Slack to find answers.

ChatGPT-powered customer experiences

Conversational checkout, support, and onboarding flows. Natural-language UIs your customers actually prefer over forms.

Automated workflows using LLMs

Document intake → extraction → routing → response. Whatever drudge work your team is buried under, an LLM pipeline can clear most of it.

Smart contract prototypes

Solidity / Rust contracts on testnet within the first month. Tokenization, escrow, vesting, governance — production-grade from day one.

Web3-enabled applications

Wallet auth, on-chain data, payment rails, DeFi/NFT primitives. Web2 polish with Web3 plumbing — not the other way around.

AI-powered analytics tools

Natural-language data queries, automated insights, anomaly detection. Replace the dashboards no one looks at with answers everyone reads.

How it works

Simple, fast, and built for momentum.

No 3-round sales cycle. No 60-page SOW. Apply, match, build, scale.

Step 01
Today

Apply

Tell us what you want to build. 4 fields. 60 seconds. We review every application within 24 hours.

Step 02
Within 48h

Get matched

We assign a developer aligned with your use case — AI, Web3, or full-stack — and book a 15-min discovery call.

Step 03
Day 4-7

Start building

Kickoff call, repo access, Linear/Jira live. Your first commit lands within the week.

Step 04
When ready

Scale when ready

Add hours, roles (UI/UX, DevOps, PM, BA), or promote to a full enterprise engagement when you outgrow the program.

Honest Check

Who this is for. Who it’s not.

We’d rather lose you here than waste your time on a discovery call. Read both columns before applying.

This is for you.

Founders building AI-first products

Teams exploring GenAI use cases

Companies stuck in planning

Pre-seed to Series A · 1–50 employees

Web3 builders shipping pre-TGE

Solo founders without a tech co-founder

This is not for you.

Freelance tasks · single feature builds

One-off consulting projects

Budget-constrained builds (< $99/mo)

Late-stage enterprises needing 100+ engineers

“Build my entire roadmap for free” requests

Anyone who can’t commit 12 months

Why companies choose this

Because speed is the only real advantage.

You won't out-strategize your competitors. You won't out-spend them either. The only lever you control is how fast you ship the next thing.

No hiring delays

Skip the 8-week recruit-screen-onboard cycle. Pre-vetted SoluLab dev, ready Monday.

No upfront team cost

$99/month flat. No equity asks. No retainer. No 30/60/90 ramp invoices. One transparent line.

Immediate execution

Apply today, kickoff this week. Most members ship a working prototype before their next board meeting.

Flexible scale-up

Need more hours, a designer, DevOps, or a PM? Layer them on with no re-onboarding. Same team, more bandwidth.

Pick your track

One track. One dev. One year.

Pick the lane that fits where you are. Your Founding 100 seat locks you in — you can switch scope inside the track anytime.

Risk-reversal

Agencies promise everything, ship late, blame scope. We do the opposite: one outcome, one dev, one deadline — and we eat the cost if we miss it.

30-45d

14d

No-questions refund window from first payment

60d

1wk

Re-assignment if the dev isn't a fit, no penalty

MSAsigned before work starts

The fine print, up front.

  • 12-month term starts on your first billed day — not the day you paid.
  • You own 100% of the code and IP from day one. No exit fees.
  • Week-2 fit check. If your dev isn't right, we swap — no questions.
  • Standard liability caps. Real MSA, not a click-through.
Founding rate

One price.
No upsells. No surprises.

After seat 100 is claimed, standard rates apply — and standard rates are 2× this. That's not a growth-hack line; it's in the CEO memo.

What happens next

Outgrow the program?
We scale with you.

Founding 100 is the on-ramp. Most members add hours, roles, or scope as they grow. Same SoluLab team — just expanded.

Add hours ›

Hit your 25-hour cap? Add bursts at published overage rates — same dev, same context, no re-onboarding.

Add a UI/UX designer ›

Bring in a designer for sprint-based work — wireframes, design system, brand polish. On demand.

Add DevOps + SRE ›

Production deploys, observability, SOC 2 prep. Plug-in role when you're ready to scale.

Add a Product Manager ›

Roadmap structure, user research, stakeholder management — when builder-mode hits its ceiling.

Add a Business Analyst ›

For complex specs, integration mapping, or RFP-grade documentation work.

Promote to enterprise engagement ›

When the relationship outgrows Founding 100, transition to a full SoluLab enterprise SOW with priority terms.

Real builds · real numbers

Three Founding 100 builds.
Three concrete outcomes.

Every Founding 100 member ships a public case study. Below are the first three from Cohort #1 — outcomes only, founders quoted.

AI Track

RAG prototype shipped in 21 days

From idea → working RAG demo with first 5 users · day 21

"Two agencies quoted me $45K and four months. My Founding 100 dev had a working RAG prototype in three weeks. We hit our seed-extension milestone because of it."

Web3 Track

Mainnet contracts deployed week 6

Testnet → audit → mainnet · 6 weeks · $1.2M TVL day-1

"Tokenomics wired by day 21. Testnet contracts day 9. The $99/month line reads like a typo — until you see the weekly output and audit-ready code."

Solo founder shipped MVP in 52 days

Pre-product → first 100 paying beta users · day 52

"Solo founder. No CTO. Three rejected agency quotes. Founding 100 gave me a dev I actually talk to every week, not a 'resource' I chase over Slack."
