Founder mode 2026

What if your startup co-founder is AI?

If Steve Jobs started in 2026:

This is what founder mode looks like nowadays.

Just a $200 Claude Code subscription, a Mac Mini to run an LLM, and endless, infinite coding that runs 24/7.

No garage.
No basement.
No tangled cables.
No salvaged tables.
No bean bags and pirate flags.
No stacks of pizza boxes and Koolaid.

Just a solo founder, and employee No.1, Claude.

It’s so efficient, so economic, it’s almost poetic.

There’s no better time.
No better moment in history.
No better opportunity.

There’s nothing to lose.
