About Economico

Built so I can finally know the numbers behind my products

Economico gives founders a live economic model of their business, built from real activity in books their own agent operates.

Economico, LLCA note from the founder

I needed this for six years as a CEO

Before Economico, I co-founded a venture-backed company and ran it as CEO for six years. We raised several rounds and built a real business, one that is still operating and growing today. For most of those six years, I did not have the numbers needed to steer the business.

In the early years I was the accounts receivable department. Someone would ask whether a customer had paid, and sometimes the honest answer was that I had never sent the invoice. We set up finance late, on outsourced cash-basis books, and it took years and expensive accounting help to clean up that start.

Once we raised our seed round, investors started asking for numbers I did not know and did not fully understand, and I had to learn them on the job. Over the years, most of what investors asked for served their purposes. It rarely told me much about running the business.

So we did what every growing company does: we hired. A first finance hire, then a fractional CFO and an outsourced accounting firm, then a VP of Finance and a team around them. The finance function got more sophisticated, and I understood the company's numbers less. I could get the metrics for an investor update faster than I could answer my own questions: how much is this customer costing us, and how much will a future product feature earn us?

Even with an early finance hire, at one point, when cash was tight, customers owed us more money than we had in the bank, and I did not know. The invoices existed. The contracts existed. Nothing put them together for me when it mattered.

I first built Economico more than a decade ago and shut it down. I came back to it because I needed it. Now a founder's own agents can keep the record from the first contract, so you can see the numbers behind your product and explain them before anyone asks.

Build the model around your business

Large companies can shape an integrated system around how they operate. Startups usually piece together separate SaaS tools, then adapt their pricing and processes to what those tools can express. The resulting numbers can describe the tools as much as the business.

A founder's agent can work from the product, agreements and recorded activity to help keep one model of the business. Today, you give the agent the relevant facts and access; it records the financial activity and lets you inspect the books. Automatically discovering a product's economics remains future work.

Your agent records the work; you see what it means

Economico exposes contracts, invoices, vendor costs, payments, credits and reports to the agent you already use. Activity posts to an accrual, double-entry ledger. The agent can then read revenue, balances, margin, burn and runway from what has been recorded.

You can inspect the same documents, entries and reports in a read-only workspace. This is a tool for understanding and explaining the company's finances, not a replacement for your judgment or an accountant's review.

Economico does not connect to your bank, email or CRM on its own. If your agent has access to those systems, it can bring relevant facts into the books under the permissions you approved. The public setup guide lives at /skill.md; the agent-facing discovery file at /llms.txt.

Built for founders who build the product

Economico is for pre-seed and seed founders who build their own product and already use a coding agent. Your product, agreements and costs define the business; the agent records the facts you give it access to, then you can question the resulting books. Raising and bootstrapped founders use the same ledger for different decisions. See how founders use it.

A new company can start with its first recorded activity. Existing books change the setup work, but do not rule out the founder. Start from opening balances; Economico does not import past books automatically. A developer may someday explore a project's economics before incorporating; that model-building workflow is still product direction, not a current feature.

The browser workspace gives you a read-only view of the same documents, ledgers, records, and reports your agent sees. It is a window onto one set of books, not a second accounting system.
