about: Cofounder is the main product of General Intelligence, an applied AI lab in New York founded by Andrew Pignanelli and Abhishyant Khare in January 2025. Their mission is to enable the one-person, one-billion-dollar company. It is a single platform where agents run engineering, sales and marketing, customer support, and product, all coordinated by a top-level CEO agent that talks directly to the human owner.

When the team started designing the new Cofounder, the question got bigger. They had to give every future customer their own production-grade backend, not just use one for themselves. They evaluated other hosted Postgres alternatives and looked at other auth options. They kept coming back to one thing: Supabase already had database, auth, storage, and Realtime in a single product. Supabase for Platforms exposed all of it through a multi-tenant API.

There was one missing piece. Andrew wanted every Cofounder customer to get the same Supabase dashboard experience that a direct Supabase customer gets. Other vendors said no.

Uniformity makes the rest of the system possible. Every Cofounder customer gets the same shape of project: GitHub plus Vercel plus Supabase. That sameness lets the team load every agent with skills once and have them work for every customer. The agents know how the pieces fit together because the pieces are always the same.
The team also built a deliberate exit door. Customers can graduate off Cofounder and take their Supabase project with them. That is a philosophical choice. Cofounder positions itself against AI builders that let a user code something up and host it as a toy. The team wants Cofounder customers to run real businesses, and a real business eventually needs to own its own backend.
