Launch Kit
Your company and tools, set up AI-first: formation, banking, workspace, accounting and simple automations.
Best forFounders who want a solid foundation and will build the product themselves, or later.
Devaptix Launch · For solo founders & small startups
Launch a real business. Everything but the funding.
We act as your technical co-founder and set up everything around the product, AI-first, so a business of one can run like a much bigger one.
Why now
You don't need a team to start anymore.
Starting a company used to take a technical co-founder, a funding round and a team before you could test anything. AI has changed that. A solo founder or a small team can now launch a real business on their own terms.
The hard part has moved. It's no longer writing all the code; it's knowing which tools to trust, how to fit them together, and what to build first. That's what we bring.
For you if
- You have an idea and want to test it without raising money
- You're not technical, or you're technical but alone
- You want to run lean, with AI doing the busywork
- You've started with a no-code or AI app builder and hit its limits
Probably not for you if
- You already have a funded team that needs a technology leader
- You need a large custom build for an established company
How it works
From idea to first customers.
- 1IdeaYou bring the problem and the people who have it.
- 2ValidationWe test whether it's worth building, before you spend much.
- 3PrototypeA realistic, clickable preview to show users and investors.
- 4MVPA working product, built properly so it can grow.
- 5LaunchLive, with real customers and AI running the busywork.
Everything but the funding
One partner for the product and everything around it.
Most founders juggle a developer, a designer, an accountant's recommendations and a dozen tool trials. We bring it together.
Product
Prototype, MVP and the AI features that make it stand out.
Company
Formation, domains, email and the accounts every business needs.
Money
Banking, payments and accounting that stay in order from day one.
Brand & website
A name, a look and a site that turns visitors into customers.
Operations
Support, scheduling and automations so the busywork runs itself.
Marketing
Content, search, email and analytics to find your first customers.
The minimum stack
You need fewer tools than you think.
Ask an AI for a modern startup stack and you'll get forty logos. Most new businesses need about eight things, and most of those are free to start. We set up what you need now, and tell you what not to buy yet.

Your Launch Stack
Part of every Launch Strategy Session: the tools your business needs, what they'll cost each month, and the ones to skip for now, with the reason for each.
- Needed now
- Free to start
- Not needed yet, and why
Our rules of thumb
- Don't buy software just because a category exists.
- Don't automate something just because AI can.
- Don't use a person for work AI does better.
- Don't use AI for something a person must own.
- Don't build what a platform already does well.
- Don't buy a platform when we can build exactly what you need, quickly.
We recommend tools on merit and change our picks when the market changes. Where we have a partner or referral relationship with a company, we'll say so, and it never decides what we recommend.
AI-first, not AI-only
Knowing where AI belongs, and where it doesn't.
Some companies won't trust AI with anything important. Others try to automate everything. We work in the useful middle: AI wherever it creates leverage, and people wherever judgment, accountability, trust or consequences demand them.
AI does it
A person reviews the result
- Code scaffolding and tests
- Research summaries
- First-draft marketing copy
AI does the work, a person decides
Someone qualified signs off
- Production code
- Pricing and positioning
- Contracts and proposals
People decide
AI can advise, never approve
- Hiring and firing
- Moving significant money
- A crisis with a customer or employee
In your Launch Strategy Session, we decide together where AI runs the work and where you stay in charge. About the session →
Ways to start
Every launch starts with one conversation.
Launch Strategy Session
A paid, focused working session: we review your idea, map an AI-first plan and recommend the path that fits your budget and goals.

Then, if it's a fit
Outgrown your prototype?
Built something with an AI app builder? Let's make it real.
Tools like Lovable, Bolt and v0 are great for a first version. When you need real users, payments, security and a codebase you own, we rebuild or harden it into a product that can grow.
- Review of what you have
- A plan to keep what works
- A production build you own
- Hosting, data and payments set up properly
Devaptix Skills
Our know-how, built into your AI tools.
Not a folder of prompts. We're building a library of reusable AI skills (instructions, examples and small scripts) for the jobs every founder has, and we set them up in the AI tools you use.
- Landing page copy
- Customer interviews
- Pricing research
- Competitor scans
- Support replies
- Investor updates
- Social posts
- Onboarding emails
Founding cohort
Be one of our first Launch founders.
We're taking a small founding cohort on favorable terms. In return, we ask to tell your story: a case study and a testimonial once you've launched.
Questions
Good to know.
Do I need to be technical?
No. That's what we're for. If you are technical, we'll move faster together and you'll own every decision.
Is my idea safe if you use AI?
Yes. We don't let AI services train on your data, and everything we build is in your name.
Do you take equity?
Only in the Technical Co-founder option, for selected founders. Everything else is a normal paid engagement, and you own 100% of your company.
Who owns what you build?
You do. The code, accounts, data and brand are all in your company's name.
What does the strategy session cost?
It's a paid session at a founder-friendly price. We'll share the current fee when you get in touch, along with what to prepare.
Do you help with fundraising?
We don't raise money for you. We help you get far enough without it, and we can support technical due diligence if you do raise later.
Have an idea that's been sitting in your head?
Tell us about it. We read every message and reply within one business day.
