One expert. One Mac.
One company
run by agents.
TabTab is an AI Agents Operating System that runs entire companies — development, marketing, sales, outreach, support — without a team. Bring your industry expertise and $10,000. We handle the rest.
What TabTab is.
TabTab Studio is a venture studio for AI-native companies. We charter Tabs — operating companies in specific industries — and run them on TabTab OS, our AI Agents Operating System. Development, marketing, sales, outreach, and support all flow through coordinated AI agents working on a single platform.
Each Tab is led by a domain expert who chairs the company and provides judgment. The agents handle execution. The Chair holds majority equity. TabTab Studio holds 25% as the institutional co-founder.
No engineering team. No marketing department. No sales floor. The agents handle execution. The expert provides judgment. TabTab Studio provides the platform.
A domain expert
Someone with deep knowledge of an industry and the problems worth solving in it.
$10,000
Covers hardware, software, APIs, and operating costs through validation. Delaware C-corp formation is deferred to incorporation.
TabTab OS
The AI Agents Operating System that builds and runs the company.
How a Tab works.
Knowledge & accountability
You sit as Chair of the Board. You bring industry knowledge, professional networks, and the judgment AI cannot replace. You don’t quit your job. You don’t run daily operations. You make strategic decisions and provide the human accountability the company needs.
The operational team
Our AI Agents OS handles development, marketing, sales, outreach, support, and operations. Local LLMs run the bulk of the work on your Tab’s own hardware. Your data stays on your machine. Your costs stay flat.
An independent company
Each Tab is a Delaware C-corporation with its own equity, its own bank account, and its own future. Tabs that succeed can raise capital, pay dividends, or be acquired. Tabs that don’t, wind down cleanly within 6 to 12 months.
Who owns what.
Each Tab is an independent Delaware C-corp. The split at formation:
For your $10K, knowledge transfer, and ongoing role as Chair.
For the platform, agent operations, legal, infrastructure.
For future hires, advisors, or partners as the Tab grows.
20+ agents for Your Company.
Every role below is an agent that runs on your TabTab hardware. Click a department to see the agent inside.
Every inbound lead captured in under 60 seconds, 24/7.
Personalized multi-touch sequences that run until the lead converts or opts out.
Contracts, e-signatures, and deposits — all automated post-handshake.
Every agent above is buildable with a TabTab installation. Your 3-hour Bench onboarding gets you the first 6 agents. The community ships the rest.
What arrives on Day 0.
Each Tab ships with a sealed Apple Silicon machine â the physical home of the agents that run your company. Owned by the Tab. Configured for the work. Yours from incorporation onward.

What a Tab costs.
$10,000 covers everything for the first stage. The hardware is a real asset owned by the Tab. The software is licensed for the life of the Tab. The agents start working from day one.
After launch, the Tab pays a monthly platform fee to TabTab from operating revenue. No per-token charges. No surprise costs. No dependency on cloud-AI providers.
What success looks like.
Board agreement signed. $10K wired.
Tab is live. Agents operating.
Customers acquired. Signal emerging.
Revenue compounding. Self-sustaining.
Material revenue. Optionality.
Most Tabs won't reach Day 365. The ones that do become real businesses you own — and the ones that don't cost you $10K and a few weekends, not your career.

Demand spikes at midnight.
Your agent is awake.
I spent years watching smart operators stuck on the sidelines — right industry, right instinct, wrong time to quit their job. TabTab is the structure I wish existed when I was one of them.
How to start a Tab.
Apply
Tell us what industry you know and what you’d build. We screen for genuine domain expertise and a clear sense of the problem worth solving. Free to apply, 5 business day response. Not every applicant becomes a Tab.
Brain Dump
Once accepted, we extract the knowledge that will power your Tab — interviews, documents, recordings, walkthroughs of how your industry actually works. The Chair Agreement is signed. Your $10K is wired. Equity is contractually committed at the 65/25/10 split.
Charter & Launch
Your Tab launches as a product line under TabTab LLC. Hardware is deployed. TabTab OS comes online. Within 30 days, agents are running development, marketing, sales, outreach, and support. You make strategic decisions and watch the company operate.
Validate
Tabs operate under TabTab LLC during the validation phase, typically the first 90–180 days. Skip premature legal infrastructure, focus entirely on shipping product and finding revenue. The Chair holds a contractual right to 65% of future stock; the clock is bounded.
Incorporate
When the Tab hits its incorporation trigger — validated revenue, time threshold, or Chair-initiated — we form the Delaware C-corp, assign IP and contracts into the new entity, and grant the Chair their stock. The QSBS clock starts. Tabs that don’t reach the trigger wind down cleanly.
What makes TabTab different.
Most AI tools work alongside your team. TabTab replaces it.
Other platforms charge per token, run on someone else’s cloud, and require engineers to deploy. TabTab runs locally, uses local LLMs to keep costs flat and data private, and works without any technical staff.
Most studios cost millions. A Tab costs $10K.
Traditional venture studios spend hundreds of thousands per company on engineering, design, and ops. TabTab does the same work for two orders of magnitude less — because the agents are the team.
Most startups need a CEO. A Tab needs a Board.
The hardest problem in starting a company is that one person has to do everything. A Tab inverts this. The expert handles strategy and accountability. TabTab handles operations. Nobody has to be everything.
An industry you know.
A problem worth solving.
If you have those, plus $10,000, you have a Tab waiting to be started. Tell us what you'd build.
