The thing that kept bothering me: the gap between "I have an idea" and "I have a business" isn't talent or intelligence. It's just execution. Setting up the store, writing the copy, figuring out payments, running ads.
Most people give up somewhere in that gap, not because they didn't want it badly enough, but because none of that is what they're actually good at.
So we got into Y Combinator and built Locus Founder.
Locus Founder is an AI agent that builds an online business for you from scratch, to make you money while you sleep. It builds, runs, and manages everything for you so you never have to step in - all over SMS/iMessage!
First of all, it's completely free to beta test (must be from the US), and you keep all of your earnings.
You tell it what kind of business you want; drop-shipping, a digital service, content-based, whatever.
If you don't have an idea, it interviews you and proposes options. Then it builds the whole thing. Real website. Real checkout. Real marketing. The agent runs the operations, and you collect the revenue.
No technical background needed. No Shopify setup. No figuring out ad accounts. The agent handles it.
We're launching publicly in a few weeks, but opening 100 private beta spots this week for people who actually want to try building something. I want real feedback from people who give it a genuine shot, not just people who sign up and disappear.
If that's you, this is the google form to sign up to beta test (you keep all the earnings): https://forms.gle/nW7CGN1PNBHgqrBb8
Happy to answer anything about how it works, what's under the hood, or what kinds of businesses it builds well. All questions welcome.
