Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about LapDog—the AI founder platform that turns your idea into a production-ready company in minutes.

Is the AI-generated brand real?

Yes. Every output is specific to your product—not a template. Your domain is WHOIS-verified live, so you never fall in love with a name that's already taken. Landing pages are built for your specific product type (SaaS, marketplace, tool, community), not generic templates. Your code is production-ready, not skeleton code. Every asset you get is real and ready to use or customize.

How long does it take to build a brand?

Roughly 15–25 seconds from the moment you describe your idea. In that time, LapDog generates your domain name, brand copy (voice guidelines, mission statement, elevator pitch), design system (color palette, typography pairing), product landing page, investor-ready pitch deck, and full-stack app code. Everything you'd normally hire five specialists to build over weeks, delivered in one session.

Can I edit the outputs?

Absolutely. All outputs are fully editable—the landing page, pitch deck, code, copy, and design. LapDog gives you a real starting point, not a locked template. Customize everything to match your exact vision. The initial output is meant to save you time and give you direction, but the work is yours to shape.

What's included in each pricing tier?

Builder ($97/mo): Full build pipeline (domain → brand → design → landing page → pitch deck → code), 3 active projects, Marketplace listing, Co-Founder tools (DNA, Radar, Outreach), brand share & public link, assertion layer (4/4 verification).

Operator ($297/mo): Everything in Builder, plus unlimited active projects, priority build queue, portfolio analytics & dashboard, full valuation report (PDF + export), featured Marketplace slot, growth package generator.

Sovereign ($997/mo): Everything in Operator, plus white-label (remove LapDog branding), full REST API access, dedicated build support, 5 team seats, custom domain for Marketplace listings, priority valuation with human review.

How does the Marketplace work?

List your build in under 2 minutes. Buyers get the domain, code, brand kit, pitch deck, and all copy—everything verified and ready to launch. LapDog takes 10% on the sale. You keep 90%. Listings are free; you only pay when you make a sale. It's the engine that turns your build pipeline into recurring income.

Can I sell my build on the Marketplace?

Yes. Every build you create on LapDog is listable. Whether you want to keep it and launch it yourself, or sell it to another founder—it's your choice. Listings are completely free. You only pay LapDog's 10% take when a buyer purchases your build. Keep your 90% and repeat the process.

What is the Co-Founder Mode?

10 AI tools that go beyond branding into strategy, execution, and founder wellness. Founder DNA maps your risk tolerance and decision style. Competitor Radar runs live web research on your market. Red Team stress-tests your idea against investor objections. Revenue Model ranks monetization paths by fit. Launch Sequencer builds your week-by-week plan. Outreach Sniper personalizes B2B emails. Team Builder recommends hiring moves and equity ranges. Legal Translator converts contracts to plain English. Emotional OS checks in on your founder energy. All tools use the brand context from your Build Engine, so they understand your specific product and market.

Is there a free trial?

The Builder tier ($97/mo) is the entry point—it's the lowest-friction way to start. You get the full build pipeline, 3 active projects, Marketplace access, and core Co-Founder tools from day one. No trial needed; start building immediately and cancel anytime if it's not for you.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No lock-in, no surprise fees, no gotchas. Cancel whenever you want. Your builds stay yours—you keep everything you've created, and you can continue to list them on the Marketplace even after you cancel.

What is LAPDOG Bank?

Coming soon. Founder-native banking built for the solo operator and builder. FDIC-insured via Unit.co. Your Marketplace earnings auto-deposit. Per-project revenue tracking, invoicing, and payout tools included from day one. No personal guarantee. No branch visit. No EIN required at launch. It's the financial infrastructure built specifically for the founder build cycle—not a generic neobank, but a tool designed for how you actually work.
