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 models. 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.

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.
