Most AI No-Code Tools Build Demos. I Built FoundersKit to Build Startups

What I Built ## My Pitch Video ## The Story Behind It ## Technical Highlights DEV's Worldwide Show and Tell Challenge Submission 🎥 This is a submission for the DEV's Worldwide Show and Tell Challenge Presented by Mux FoundersKit is a production-ready SaaS toolkit that helps founders go from idea to a real, scalable startup in days instead of months. In a world full of AI no-code tools that help you build fast but lock you into non-exportable, non-scalable platforms, FoundersKit focuses on something more important: ownership. It provides founders with real, customizable code, modern SaaS architecture, and growth-ready tooling so what they launch on day one can scale into a real business.

I’m happy to offer FoundersKit Pro for free if you’re building something exciting. Over the last year, I saw many founders, including myself, use AI no-code tools like Lovable and Bolt.new to validate ideas quickly. While these tools are impressive, they usually stop at beautiful dashboards. The problem appears when you want to: At that point, you realize you don’t truly own the product. I built FoundersKit to bridge that gap, combining the speed of modern tooling with the control and scalability of real production code. The goal is simple: help founders move fast without sacrificing their future. FoundersKit is built with real-world scalability in mind and uses modern, startup-proven technologies: Unlike no-code platforms, everything in FoundersKit is: This makes it suitable not just for MVPs, but for long-term startup growth. ❗ By submitting this project, I confirm that my video adheres to Mux's terms of service: https://www.mux.com/terms Thanks for checking out FoundersKit and happy building!
