Bring an idea. Leave with a running business.
Synapse validates your idea, builds a real product, and runs the whole company — engineering, marketing, sales, support — through a virtual CEO agent. You stay the Chairman.
Idea
A free VC audit scores your idea across 6 axes.
Product
Agents ship it — template, modules, or from scratch.
Company
A virtual CEO runs it. You approve what matters.
A pure B2B platform — same legal footing as
- Vercel
- GitHub
- Notion
- Linear
- Figma
One platform that is four things at once.
Validator, factory, operator, marketplace — Synapse takes an idea all the way to a transferable, revenue-generating asset.
-
Validator
A free VC audit tells you whether the idea is worth building — and whether it fits autonomous AI execution. No signup required.
-
Factory
Three build modes — template in minutes, modules in hours, from scratch in days. 40+ templates pre-built by agents before launch.
-
Operator
A virtual CEO coordinates teams of agents and humans across engineering, marketing, sales, support, and finance — autonomously.
-
Marketplace
Every business is sellable. Code, data, and the virtual CEO — with all its memory — transfer to the new owner intact.
Before you build, get a VC verdict.
The first thing you meet on Synapse. A free audit scores your idea across six axes — including whether AI agents can realistically run it.
- 01
Market size
TAM, SAM and SOM — how big the opportunity actually is.
- 02
Competitive landscape
Direct and indirect rivals, and where you differentiate.
- 03
Business model
Revenue model and a first-pass unit-economics estimate.
- 04
Risk assessment
Market, execution and regulatory risk, surfaced early.
- 05 · unique
Autonomy fit
Can an AI agent team execute this without constant hand-holding?
- 06
VC score
Five criteria, 1–10 each, rolled into a single verdict.
-

“Build it. Here's the recommended approach” — mode, channels, and a path to launch.
-

“Fix these three things, then resubmit.” Specific, actionable, no guesswork.

Five phases. One conversation.
You talk to one agent — the CEO. It orchestrates everything else and pings you only for the decisions that are truly yours.

You talk to one agent. It runs the rest.
The founder becomes a Chairman: set strategy, approve anything that carries legal or financial weight, and communicate only with the CEO agent.
The CEO assigns tasks across every team, handles escalations, and starts upgrade conversations when growth hits a limit. Pricing changes, pivots, and binding commitments always escalate to you.
And it never forgets — memory survives model switches and even a change of ownership.
Agents and humans. Equal roles.
Add a person to any team as easily as an agent. The lead assigns them work the same way, through email, Slack, or in-app — they mark it complete and the workflow continues.
An agent can even lead a human, and a human can lead agents. From the system's perspective there's no hierarchy difference — just roles, doing the work.

Three ways to build. The CEO picks the fastest fit.
Unlocked progressively by tier — or choose manually.
Template
A ready-made product from the marketplace. The CEO matches your brief, an agent forks it, rebrands it, wires integrations, and deploys.
- Time to deploy
- 15–30 min
- Best for
- Proven shapes
- Deploy to
- name.synapse.app
# matched brief → catalogue match brief to template: "saas-analytics" fork + rebrand + copy ✓ configure integrations ✓ deploy staging ✓ review? deploy production → live
Modular assembly
The agent reads the brief, selects from a library of core, feature, and integration modules, and writes only the custom logic that makes your product unique.
- Time to deploy
- 2–6 hours
- Best for
- Specific products
- Custom domain
- Included
core: auth · billing · users · api feature: dashboard · crud · search notifications · ai-module integr.: stripe · slack · analytics # writing custom logic… build + test + ship → live
From scratch
A full build from the brief. A product lead writes the PRD and architecture; a parallel dev team writes backend, frontend, tests, infrastructure, and docs.

- Next.js · Supabase

Synapse orchestrates. You own everything.
-
Your keys
Any AI, no markup.
Connect your own Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or local models. A router picks the right model per task. Catalation never touches AI billing.
-
Your infra
Runs on your accounts.
Fly.io, AWS, Hetzner, GCP — your credentials, your control. The DevOps agent discloses cost before every change.
-
Your money
Payments go direct.
Stripe connects to your own account — no legal entity required to start. Catalation never sits between you and your revenue.
Your credentials, encrypted to the core.
Synapse holds your provider keys so agents can work — and treats them like the high-value secrets they are. Encrypted at rest, scoped per task, fully audited.
-
Envelope encryption
Never stored in plaintext.
Every key is sealed with a per-business data key, which is itself encrypted by a master key kept in a hardened vault. A database breach yields nothing but useless ciphertext.
-
Least privilege
One key, one task.
Each agent gets only the specific credential it needs for the specific job — never a global key. The blast radius of any compromise stays small.
-
Full audit
Every access logged.
Credential use is recorded with timestamp, agent, and purpose, rotated on request, and never written to logs, error messages, or the knowledge base.
Every business is an asset you can sell.
List a company, browse one to acquire, or start from a template. The virtual CEO transfers with the business — memory intact.
-
Live
Running businesses
A working product with real users and real revenue. Step in as the new Chairman.
-
Ready
Built, unlaunched
A complete product with no users yet — your head start on a market.
-
Template
Structure only
The shape of a proven business as a starting point. Customise and launch.
- Full codebase and infrastructure

The principles behind Synapse.
- 01
Idea in, business out
From a brief to paying users.
- 02
Validate honestly
A real VC verdict, not sales copy.
- 03
Build before you pay
Free company setup, paid product build.
- 04
Factory, orchestrator, CEO
Three layers, each defensible alone.
- 05
Team is primary
Permanent departments, not per-project.
- 06
CEO as interface
You talk to one agent only.
- 07
Hybrid by default
Agents and humans as equal roles.
- 08
Three product modes
Template, modules, or from scratch.
- 09
No entity to start
An individual Stripe account is enough.
- 10
Knowledge compounds
Every session makes the company smarter.
- 11
Any AI, your keys
Model-agnostic, no AI markup.
- 12
Your infrastructure
Synapse orchestrates, you own.
- 13
Sellable at any time
Every business is a transferable asset.
- 14
The CEO never forgets
Memory survives model and ownership changes.
What you own, and what we don't touch.
Synapse is a tool. You own the business it helps you build.
Does Catalation take a cut of my revenue?
No. Subscription only — never a revenue share. Your customers pay your own Stripe account directly. Catalation never acts as merchant, processor, or financial intermediary. Same legal footing as Vercel, GitHub, or Notion.
Do I need a registered company to start?
No. You connect Stripe as an individual or sole trader — enough in most jurisdictions. When revenue, a corporate client, or hiring makes an entity worthwhile, the CEO agent flags it and guides you through partners like Stripe Atlas or Firstbase. Catalation never registers entities itself.
Whose AI keys and infrastructure does it use?
Always yours. Connect your own Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or local models, and your own Fly.io, AWS, Hetzner, or GCP accounts. Synapse orchestrates; you own and control the costs. The DevOps agent discloses cost before every infrastructure change.
Who owns the code and the customer data?
You do. Your code, your data, your users, your revenue. Under the Data Processing Agreement you are the data controller and Catalation is the processor, GDPR Article 28 compliant. Everything is yours to keep, move, or sell.
How much can really be automated?
The CEO agent runs day-to-day operations across every team and handles routine decisions autonomously. Anything that carries legal or financial weight — pricing, pivots, partnerships, binding commitments — always escalates to you as Chairman.
