> Goal: Compile a guide with specific tool recommendations and step-by-step instructions on how to launch a lean AI-Native company in 2025. Given there are SO many options out there, I wanted to help founders avoid getting stuck in analysis paralysis, and provide a proven toolkit for them to build off. If I were to start today towards building a unicorn: what tools would I use? - [[Step 1 - Incorporate Fast]] - [[Step 2 - Finance & Taxes]] - [[Step 3 - Tech Stack - AI native and low code]] - [[Step 4 - Product and Design]] - [[Step 5 - Business Ops]] - [[Step 6 - Marketing and Growth]] - [[Step 7 - Sales]] - [[Step 8 - Hiring]] - [[Step 9 - Fundraising]] - [[Step 10 - General Admin]] [[Recommended AI-native Tool-list Summary]] ## So What? You don’t need a 30-page business plan or a 50-person team to build something great in 2025. With AI-native tools and lean systems, a small team — or even a solo founder — can build, launch, and grow a serious company faster than ever before. Focus on the signal you’re sending. Avoid noise and get back to building. Stay lean, iterate fast, and let customer feedback drive your momentum. Note: Credit to Henry Shi and Deedy.
