MadeThis review
MadeThis, a Y Combinator Fall 2025 company, takes a business idea and builds, launches, markets and operates it with a team of AI employees: website or app, products and Stripe payments, marketing and outbound campaigns, customer email and recurring operations. A Propose mode asks before acting; Autopilot acts within your guardrails.
Updated November 11, 2026
Our verdict
A serious full-cofounder product with fast growth and a good approval model. It ranks below Crevio on coverage (no phone or company formation that we could confirm) and on trust: there are no refunds, and assisted export only opens after three paid months.
Choose MadeThis if you like the Propose and Autopilot modes and plan to stay on the platform long term.
Why it earns a seat
- Builds, launches and operates, not just builds
- Propose mode for one-tap approvals, Autopilot for hands-off
- Sets up Stripe payments and runs Meta ad campaigns
- Plans by number of businesses, up to 10
Where it falls short
- No refunds
- Assisted export only after 3 paid months
- Custom domain starts on the $79 plan
- No phone answering or company formation that we could confirm
