Continuity for one‑person companies.

If users, investors, family, or friends depend on a product you built and run alone, what happens if you get sick, can’t operate it, become incapacitated, or die?

Paste SoleCo’s instructions into Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor. In a few minutes your AI maps and guides you through a short list of fixes. SoleCo then generates a step-in document to keep your ventures alive, and continues with you to help maintain it easily over time, for whoever steps in: one or two people you trust, a developer they hire, or your own lawyer.

Read them first

Free, and no account needed for a basic check. Your AI works on your machine, and SoleCo never asks for a password. Not using an AI coding tool? Answer the questions yourself.

SoleCo makes the company operable without you. It does not replace a lawyer. If you need documents that transfer ownership, you take your step-in guide and our drafts to your own lawyer. Most customers never do that until they raise.

Your AI does most of it

  1. It runs the scan

    It looks at your repositories, domains, and hosting on your machine, asks a few questions, and writes one file for you to import. Free, and a couple of minutes.

  2. It makes the quick fixes

    The right commit email for each company, a CLAUDE.md in each repository, and .env files kept out of git. It shows each change and waits for your OK.

  3. You do the rest, a little at a time

    Moving GitHub and Stripe into the company, two password vaults, and your printed step-in guide. Gate splits it into today, this month, and before you raise. Monitor reminds you.

SoleCo makes money on the paid levels by providing follow-up over time, so that if you switch AI coding services you have continuity in one place.

What it gets you

  • If you're out for two weeks

    The domain still renews, customers still get served, and someone can ship a fix, even if it's a developer your family hires.

  • When an investor asks who owns the code

    You hand over a data-room index and an account list showing the company owns its code and accounts, instead of scrambling.

  • If the worst happens

    Your family calls your lawyer, who already has your printed step-in guide and half of your Owner key, not a pile of logins nobody can open.

What matters depends on your stage

Most solo founders move through three stages. The free scan tells you which one you’re at and what to do next.

  1. Stage 1

    Idea incubator

    Lots of solo-coded projects, none incorporated. Everything runs on your personal GitHub, Gmail, and cards.

    What matters now

    • Personal accounts are fine for now.
    • Keep each project in its own folder so one can move into a company cleanly later.
    • Know which project is likely to become the company.

  2. Stage 2

    C-corp or LLC, pre‑revenue

    One project is now a company on paper, but its code, email, and Stripe may still be in your personal name.

    What matters now

    • Move the product's code into a GitHub organization the company owns.
    • Set up company email, and open Stripe on the company's EIN (US company tax number).
    • Write a step-in guide so whoever steps in could keep it running, technical or not.

  3. Stage 3

    Revenue or raising

    Customers pay you or investors are looking. Other people now depend on the product.

    What matters now

    • Investors will check that the company, not you, owns the code and accounts.
    • Whoever steps in to keep the firm operating needs a way into your systems that stays sealed until it's needed. That access is split in two, and both parts are needed to use it. Give your backup person one half, and keep the other half somewhere they can reach with proof that something has happened to you. If you don't have a backup person you trust, you could get a lawyer.
    • Legal documents such as an IP assignment and power of attorney, prepared by your own lawyer.

    SoleCo: Monitor, $99/year. Legal documents come from your own lawyer.

SoleCo solves operations and helps (but doesn’t guarantee) to keep your venture running.

SoleCo helps get a lawyer up to speed, but whomever takes over from you has to retain that lawyer first.

Legal authority

Who can vote the stock, sign for the company, and talk to the bank?

That takes your own lawyer. SoleCo prepares draft documents, clearly stamped as drafts, for you to take to them with your step-in guide when you’re ready.

SoleCo doesn't provide lawyers. “Your lawyer” means one you choose and pay yourself, if and when you want one.

Operational access

Who can open GitHub, Stripe, the registrar, hosting, and a Claude Team seat?

That’s SoleCo. It lists every account, helps you move each one into the company’s name, sets up emergency access that stays sealed until it’s needed, and reminds you when something slips back to a personal account.

Keep one Claude login. Separate the companies.

Keep your personal Claude login as the daily driver. Put each company’s source of truth in that company’s GitHub org. cd into the repo; do not /login every morning. Create a company Team org only when a second human needs a seat or diligence requires it. Do not share your personal Claude password with an assistant or successor.

Give each company its own folder, its own GitHub organization, and its own email on commits. Only the company that’s raising money needs this now. The others can wait until they raise or take customers.
