Built so founders can think again.

Claudio was started in 2026 by people who built companies the hard way, and didn't want anyone else to.

Most software for founders is for people who already know what to do. Tools demand context, decisions, attention. The bar to start a company has never been lower, but the cognitive cost of running one keeps climbing.

We built Claudio because the most valuable thing a founder has is their judgment. Everything else, the writing, the coding, the marketing, the ten thousand small decisions a day, should be done by something that doesn't sleep. So you can.

The people behind Claudio.

Ben Cera

Founder & CEO

Previously: shipped 4 startups, slept on a sum total of 9 of those years.

Mira Lopez

Head of Engineering

Compilers, distributed systems, and very strong coffee opinions.

Theo Nakamura

Head of Design

Designs software that doesn't shout. Lives in Tokyo, ships from a Pixel slate.

Our principles.

01

Founders should sleep

If your company can't run for 8 hours without you, you don't own a company. You have a job.

02

AI should ask before it acts

Confidence isn't intelligence. Claudio checks in before spending money or talking to humans on your behalf.

03

Software should disappear

The best tools feel like they were already there. We sweat the details so you don't think about us.

04

Calm beats clever

We could ship a chrome-heavy interface with terminals and dashboards. We chose not to. You're a founder, not a SOC analyst.

Backed by people who've been there.
