@Techstars CTO is also a bare metal aggregator. Cost savings is our secondary value prop. The first is developer experience not like anything else. But the cost savings are substantial and are enough to convince the decision makers that it's well worth the investment.

@Techstars Spec in, software out. CTO is an agentic engineering platform where you talk to AI teammates with animated avatars — voice, face-to-face video, or AR glasses. Solana-settled USDC billing + an on-chain agent marketplace. Gamified SWE — Jonathon cto.5dlabs.ai

If you're a founder building right now, introduce yourself. 👇

@FedericoNoemie I am building CTO a dark factory powered by animated agent Avatars, also accessible by AR glasses. We have two main value props: 1. One that appeals to engineers: "Simple work should be fun." 2. For CTOs, this is a cost optimisation play. cto.5dlabs.ai

Moving to SF changed my life. In the last 2 years, I paid it forward and helped hundreds of founders relocate to do their life's work. I want to work with you & invest $100K if you: - are building solo - feel what you’re building is a calling - have paying users who love you

Damn, I wish I would have started using. Hermes @NousResearch sooner, I feel like I wasted a month, at least in aggregate, messing around with @openclaw great work. The thing that held me back was no workflow and ACP client, but the standalone works fine

@milesdeutscher Good to know I'm doing multiple things on that list.

If you're looking for the next multi-million dollar business idea - look no further. YC and a16z are both recommending these AI business ideas. This is where the smartest investors in the world are currently looking:

@TTrimoreau Hardware

If AI makes output infinite, what becomes scarce?

@xxniiinxx @Bencera Sure, DM me.

@JonathonFritz @Bencera Interesting, can we discuss?@JonathonFritz

old model: raise $50M, hire 500 people, build everything in-house. new model: one founder, a network of AI companies and agents, every function covered better than any team could. this is what i’m building toward.

@dhh For any founders out there looking to make a cloud exit as well as reduce their engineering headcount, our product should be shipping pretty soon. Focus on bare metal aggregation and on-prem workloads with very little friction, fully automated. 5dlabs.ai/cto/

In 2023, we spent $3,934,099 on AWS + other hosting. In 2026, our hosting + support bill is down to ~$1m/year due to the cloud exit. Even including all the hardware buying, we will already have saved ~$4m by the end of this year. And going forward, it's ~$3m/yr in savings 🤑

@rustsoldev @Bencera The entire platform and the operator happen to be coded in Rust too. 😀

@rustsoldev @Bencera Should work now. You can also hit me up at jonathon@5dlabs.ai.

@Jacobsklug Yes, but how is that different than any other startup?

The amount of these "AI business builders" that will fail will be astronomical. It's cope for building a real business.

@mattshumer_ We also just launched a pre-seed round.

@mattshumer_ Can't seem to DM you for some reason. I think maybe I need to upgrade my account, but this is me. I'm providing consulting services for companies implementing AI. And going agent-first 5dlabs.ai/cto/

If you implement AI for companies, DM me
