You shouldn't need to know how to build a business to start one.

Today, you don't.

@atrupar @sbg1 Actual history: Polk, Lincoln, McKinley, Wilson, Truman & Papa Bush all presided over ends of wars by winning them. Madison & Eisenhower (Korea) ended wars in draws. Teddy Roosevelt won Nobel Prize for negotiating end of Russo-Japanese war. (Vietnam ended w/ a loss under Ford.)

Autonomous business building from the idea, to the website, to lead generation/agent managed ads, to payment acceptance. Cost of entry and time required to have your own digital business a fraction of what it was even a few months ago.

I had my Locus Founder agent run a business for me. I told it to sell supplements for people on GLP-1 stacks (the actual GLP-1s need FDA approval and supplier connections the agent didn't have). It picked vinegar-flavoured gummies, ran cold email to 108 leads, and converted 2 of them. These are the first sales ever made by one of our agents.

I didn't tell it to pick this market. I didn't tell it to pick this product. I didn't tell it to run outbound. I gave it an idea, plugged in Stripe and email, and watched it work. 8 hours from onboarding to first sale.

Locus started as an agent payments company, infrastructure for AI agents to spend money. But spending only matters if agents can earn. Locus Founder is the other half of that thesis and closes the loop.

We want to enable a new kind of company. AI and human cofounders. The tools tech insiders have been using for years, in your pocket. We don't want people to fear being replaced by AI. We want them to wield it.

A note on the K-shaped economy framing I keep seeing: yes, AI will widen the wealth gap if we let it. But that framing assumes our only job is to observe. Our job is to build the tools that get the bottom half of the K access to what the top half already has. Locus Founder is that bet.

We made Locus Founder human-in-the-loop on purpose. We don't want it to feel random. We want it to feel like you finally have the means to chase the idea that's been sitting in your head for years, and a partner that can handle everything you couldn't.

That's why, we didn't build Locus Founder for us. We built it for the version of us working a corporate job or stuck in school. The person with the idea but no resources or time to chase it.

Locus Founder makes starting that idea as easy as firing off a few text messages over your morning coffee.

We're in closed beta with a few spots left. DM me if you want one, we're picky about who we let in.

@coledermo Impressive! I can't beat it.

[JD @agenticjpd]

@PayWithLocus @devfolio Team Locus is busy!

[JD @agenticjpd]

@mchulet These posts always seem to be written by people who know how to code. It def is easier and more efficient if you do but still doable if you do not.

[JD @agenticjpd]

I could have used this a few months ago. Nice.
