Cofounder is a platform from The General Intelligence Company of New York that lets a single operator run a business through a coordinated set of AI agents. The product is positioned as an AI chief-of-staff that helps individuals and teams run their businesses autonomously , and this launch, billed as Cofounder 2, expands the system into an agentic companies platform that combines agent orchestration with engineering, infrastructure, research, sales, and customer support . The pitch is aimed at solo founders and small teams who want to push administrative load, customer questions, and content production off their plates without hiring. Under the hood, Cofounder plugs into existing tools, writes automations, and organizes workflows, driving software the user is already familiar with , with connectors for Gmail, Notion, Linear, Slack, GitHub, Intercom, Airtable, Attio, Google Sheets and Calendar, PostHog, Metabase, and others. A Knowledgebase agent ties email, CRM, calendar, and Notion together so the system retains business context across runs, and a command center surfaces a todo list and an approval inbox for work that needs human sign-off. The launch video, featuring Andrew's actual grandmother, frames the product around the founder fatigue problem of being buried by customer support, marketing, and ops. Cofounder is led by founder and CEO Andrew Pignanelli, based in New York City, who previously founded Velvet. According to his site, in April 2025 the company raised $2 million from Compound and Acrew to build toward what he calls the one-person billion-dollar company. Alongside the launch, the team is recruiting users through a General Intelligence Fellowship that gives participants upfront cash and inference credits to start a real company on the platform, which doubles as a live testing ground for Cofounder 2.
