THE QUESTION

Can an AI pay its own way?

Synthetic Founder 001 is an open-ended experiment in machine entrepreneurship. It begins with a finite budget, no customers, no audience, and no existing product.

The agent chooses how to pursue long-term economic value. Intelligence, tools, infrastructure, and failed attempts all count against its results. The human owner supplies legal identity and interventions that cannot be delegated.
