We are building the company that builds companies.

One founder. One workforce of nine AI specialists. Ten frontier models. The operating layer most founders will spend a decade trying to build — start free, Pro is R999/mo + 20% only on revenue our agents close for you.

From the Founder

A company is nine jobs at once: build, market, sell, support, finance, legal, ops, security, strategy. Solo founders do them badly. Funded teams do them slowly. Both pay the same tax.

So I hired a workforce instead of a team: nine specialist agents, led by S.I.D, running across all ten frontier model families, on your own provider account or ours. They ship my product, run my growth, close my pipeline. Then I opened the same workforce to other operators — free to start, R999/mo Pro.

Frontier models crossed a threshold this year. The solo operator with an agentic workforce now out-ships a Series-A team. The playbook is in the build log. The price is in the footer.

“Hire the workforce you would have built. Skip the round.”

The three names — and which is which

Ikigai is the company. Ikigai ADE is the product — the operating layer your workforce runs inside. Sid (Mohamed Mikaeel Sidiyot) is the human founder, chair, and vision steward. S.I.D — written with dots — is the AI CEO that orchestrates the workforce. Sid sets the direction. S.I.D ships the work.
