First cohort opens April 2026. Limited places.

THE MARKET

84% of the world hasn't started yet.

In 2025, Anthropic analysed over one million real conversations to map how AI is being used across the global economy. What they found was striking — not because of what was happening, but because of how much wasn't.

AI adoption is real. But it is radically concentrated. The businesses benefiting are almost exclusively in software, data, and technical roles. The rest — retail founders, food entrepreneurs, professional services firms, product businesses — are watching from the outside.

This is the chart that matters:

84% never used AI
16% free chatbot
0.3% pays $20/mo
0.04% coding scaffold

16 in 100 businesses actively use AI. You're looking at the other 84.

The 84% is not a problem to solve. It's a market to serve.

Founder Engine is built for the grey dots. The founders who know AI could help them — but don't know where to start, don't have time to learn twelve new tools, and won't pay £500/day for a consultant to tell them to use ChatGPT more.

THE RESEARCH

AI can do this. Most businesses aren't using it. That gap is the opportunity.

In January 2026, Anthropic published their most detailed Economic Index to date. It mapped the theoretical capability of AI across every major business function — against what is actually being used. The result is one of the most important charts in business right now.

The blue shape is enormous across every business function. The red shape barely exists outside of software and technical roles. For the founder running a real business — not a tech startup — almost none of this capability has reached them.

This isn't because the technology doesn't work. It's because no one has made it accessible in the way founders actually work — through conversation, not configuration.

That gap between blue and red? That's what Founder Engine closes.

THE JOURNEY

From overwhelmed founder to AI-native business.

Six stages. Each one builds on the last. Each one makes your business permanently smarter.

1
CONNECT
We plug into everything
Google Drive, Gmail, Slack, your CRM, your accounting platform
Every tool that runs your business, connected via secure API
Your data stays in your systems. Angus reads, never writes.
2

Not summaries. Not guesses. Actual facts with sources
The bar: Angus knows more about each area than the person running it
3
DIAGNOSE
Cross-domain intelligence
Angus connects dots humans can’t: cash flow gaps caused by payment terms found in sales contracts
Gap analysis shows exactly what’s missing and what to ask next
Six domains scored: Finance, Sales, Marketing, Operations, People, Customer
4
DEPLOY
From insight to action
Emails drafted and sent (with your approval)
Content published to your channels

Custom dashboards built from your actual data
5
AUTOMATE

Deploys, monitors, improves. Your team freed up for higher-value work
6

The essential skill of 2026: augmentation
Companies go faster when their people work WITH AI, not around it
Custom SKILL.md packs generated from your business data — portable, model-agnostic

Most agencies stop at Stage 3. They diagnose, hand you a PDF, and invoice you. Founder Engine keeps going — because the value isn't in knowing what's wrong. It's in fixing it.
