Hey there! I'm Nigel. Building PilotUP. AI employees for founders who can't afford to hire yet.

Hey Product Hunters 👋

I've been building startups solo for a while now.

And every single time, the same thing happened. The idea was solid, the motivation was there, but execution kept breaking. I was doing everything myself. Growth, sales, operations, product. All me. And at some point you just hit a wall where there aren't enough hours in the day and nothing moves fast enough.

So I started talking to other founders around me and it clicked, this wasn't just my problem. Every solo founder and lean team I spoke to was dealing with the exact same thing. Too much to do, not enough people, no budget to hire the right specialists early. Good ideas dying not because the idea was bad but because one person can only do so much.

That's when PilotUP started making sense to me. What if you could just have the team? Not a chatbot. Not a workflow you have to babysit. Actual role-based AI employees like a Growth Lead, a Sales Lead, an Ops Manager, a Support Lead that collaborate with each other, live inside your existing apps, and get things done while you focus on what actually moves the needle. And manage all of them straight from your phone.

We're early stage, building in public, and putting our first users at the center of everything. If you're a solo founder tired of being the bottleneck for everything in your business, this is built for you.
