about startiup
A factory for the first mile.
StartIUP turns an idea into a real, working startup prototype, and sells finished ones. It exists because the most expensive part of any idea is the distance between thinking of it and having something to show.
The Idea Computer looks like a computer because it behaves like one. You type. It works. It reports back.
why it exists
Most ideas die in the gap.
Some people cannot code. Some can, but have no weekend to spare scaffolding a project they are not even sure about. Some have tried AI building tools and found themselves managing a tireless but erratic assistant: rewording prompts, reverting changes, watching credits drain while the output drifted. A chat window makes you the project manager of a junior developer who forgets context.
Tools like Cursor, Lovable and Replit are strong products, and the demand they proved is real. But they are built for people who want to steer. StartIUP is built for everyone else. It is a factory, not a building tool. You drop an idea into the hopper. The factory runs the whole build. You get a finished prototype, not a conversation about what one could look like.
The slogan says it in two beats. "Start your idea up" is the action: an idea is something to be booted, not discussed. "Get free" is the outcome: free from skill, free from effort, free from lock-in. The name reads start / i / up. The i is the individual and their idea, the one letter in the name that belongs to you. In the mark, that i sits in the cursor cell, because the person is the thing being started up.
principles
How the factory runs.
An idea name and a short description. No extra questions, settings, model choices or style pickers.
No conversation with an AI anywhere on the site. A command in, a result out.
You watch progress and receive everything. The internal business thinking is never shown, sold or downloadable.
From day one. No license-back, no platform dependency in the generated code.
Builds run on our servers whether or not the browser is open. An email arrives when it is done.
Small failures (a missing logo, a broken function) are normal and said so plainly.
StartIUP does not host production apps, run payments for your app, or hold your customers.
Credits bought up front, one price per build, no subscriptions. Returned automatically on failure.
What people make here are startups and ideas, never "businesses". The catalogue is a catalogue.
who it is for
Built for four kinds of people.
Solo dreamer
Working full time or recently laid off. Wants to see the idea real without learning to code or wrestling AI tools for weeks.
Type one line and get something real to show people.
Vibe coder
Already uses Lovable, Cursor or Replit. Wants a high-quality starting point without burning hundreds of credits getting there.
Save days and a pile of credits on the first mile.
Agency or freelancer
Wants fast, cheap, impressive client demos, in volume.
Pitch with a working app, not a mock-up.
Idea buyer
Wants a finished app plus a premium domain, ready to run with.
Buy a running start, not a plan.
credibility
The bar the machine is held to.
No invented reviews here, because there are no customers to quote yet. Instead, the standards the pipeline is measured against before it earns your 69 credits:
Target pass rate on a set of 200 diverse ideas. A pass means the core functionality matches the idea and the app runs without fatal errors.
95 builds in 100 must finish inside 1 hour 50 minutes, under the "about two hours" you are quoted.
Critical or high-severity findings tolerated in sampled prototypes scanned with a commercial SAST tool.
Failed builds return their 69 credits automatically. Tested under 50 concurrent failures. A refund is a promise, not a metric.
Monthly sample of 100 builds. Ideas are never listed, sold or shown to anyone. Internal access is role-based and every access is logged.
