Startups

Startups.Studio enables building Autonomous AI-operated Startups through declarative Business-as-Code.

The Vision

Traditional startups require:

• Founders writing code
• Hiring teams to operate
• Manual processes at every step

AI-operated startups:

• Declare the business as MDXLD documents
• AI agents execute operations
• Humans provide oversight and strategy

Core Concepts

Business-as-Code

Define your business declaratively:

---
$context: https://schema.org.ai
$type: Startup
$id: https://my-startup.com
name: My Startup
stage: Validation
---

# {name}

<Products />
<Services />
<Team />

Composition

Build startups by composing higher-order building blocks:

• Business - The operational entity
• Products - What you sell (SaaS, API, Data)
• Services - What you deliver (AI-delivered)
• Sites - Public presence
• Apps - Authenticated experiences

Lifecycle

Idea → Validation → Build → Launch → Scale → Exit

Each stage has different components and requirements.

Getting Started

1. Define your business in MDXLD
2. Configure products and services
3. Generate sites and apps
4. Deploy with AI agents operating
