The Agent-First Startup: From Blueprint to Bootstrapped

Research

Multi-Agent Framework for Autonomous Startup Operations

This paper explores how AI agents can orchestrate the entire lifecycle of a startup, from ideation to growth. It's a research-level blueprint for the zero-human company OS, moving beyond single-agent tasks to system-wide autonomous management.

Self-Verifying AI Programs: Closing the Reliability Loop

Introduces a framework for AI agents to generate, test, and improve their own operational programs in a verifiable loop. This is the 'self-healing' and 'self-improving' mechanism that could finally make zero-human companies economically durable over time.

Agent Memory Architectures for Long-Horizon Autonomy

Explores how agents can maintain persistent, structured memory across tasks and sessions to avoid context collapse. For a zero-human company, this is the difference between a short-lived demo and a business with institutional memory.

The Agentic Company OS: A Practical Blueprint for Bootstrapped Autonomy

This deep-dive breaks down the practical stack for a bootstrapped, agent-run company, from treasury management to customer acquisition loops. It's the kind of tactical playbook that separates theoretical zero-human companies from those actually shipping product.
