Woz is an AI platform that enables anyone to build and scale software businesses - no coding required. Historically, the ability to write code and architect software served as a massive barrier to business building. Woz eliminates this barrier with a team of AI agents that enable anyone, regardless of technical ability, to build products, go to market and grow a business all on one platform without a technical cofounder or inhouse engineering team. Our first customers include a personal trainer building a fitness app for his clients, a property manager building a tool for managing security deposits, a doctor launching a coaching program to augment GLP1s and more. Ultimately, Woz aims to be the default platform where millions of AI-enabled entrepreneurs launch and scale businesses. Woz is built by a team of engineers and ML scientists who've worked together building complex AI systems for the last decade. We're backed by YC, Untapped Ventures, MGV and more.

We start by solving a burning problem for nontechnical founders today: while AI code generation removes barriers to software development, the leap from software app to real scalable business is enormous - requiring robust architecture, 3rd party integrations, bug fixes and more.
