The startup idea
Corply posted on October 15. One prompt to an agent incorporates a company, opens a bank account, and accepts credit card payments. The example is a Delaware C-Corp through Corply's MCP. A reply says you can get started end to end in less than 30 minutes. The page says to paste one instruction, or to open a signup without an agent. It names Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. The price list shows initial formation at $399, a Delaware filing plus formation service at $329, a managed 83(b) at $70 per founder, founder stock and vesting at no charge, a free EIN, and a free corporate banking setup. Ongoing, a $69 monthly plan is marked required with formation, with company and ownership updates included. The same list shows a registered agent at $7, a virtual mailbox at $39, an optional business phone at $16, work email at $3 a mailbox, and a .com at $4. An annual toggle says 20 percent off. Delaware government fees and taxes are separate. A human reviews every state submission. Legally binding acts stay human. The page says Corply is software operated by 0Lumen Labs Corp. It is not a law firm and not a bank. The steps include invoices and payments. The words credit card are the post's, not the page's. The page does not say 30 minutes. This page did not start a filing.
The opportunity is the filing that starts in the agent the founder already has open. A smaller product is one Delaware C-Corp, the documents, and a person who signs before the state sees it. The post says one prompt does the bank and the cards. The page prices the formation and says a human still reviews the submission.
Do not add the $399 and the $329 into one number. The page lists them on separate lines. Do not say it is a law firm.
The problem
The product is the hard part. Forming the company is the part that sits for months.
Who would pay for this?
- Primary
- A founder who will form a Delaware C-Corp and already uses one of the named agents.
- Secondary
- Someone who will use the signup and skip the agent.
- Early adopter
- One company, the price on screen, a human review before filing.
How could it make money?
Possible models. Nothing here is a claim about what 0Lumen Labs charges.
- Initial formation $399. Delaware filing plus formation service $329. Managed 83(b) $70 per founder.
- EIN and corporate banking setup listed free.
- $69 a month, marked required with formation. Registered agent $7. Mailbox $39. Government fees separate.
What would the MVP look like?
- One prompt, or the signup.
- Ownership and payment shown before anything is filed.
- A human review of the state submission.
- The $399 and the $69 on the same page as the prompt.
How to validate the idea
- Ask five founders to get as far as the review screen, not the filed company.
- If they stop when the $69 month is required, the prompt was not the product.
- Do not promise a bank account or card acceptance the page does not price.
How to differentiate
- The agent the founder already uses starts the form.
- A person still reviews the filing.
- It says it is not a bank.
- Do not become a law firm with a chat box.
Why this could be interesting now
The post and the page agree that an agent can start a Delaware C-Corp and that a person still approves. Only the page prices it, and only the reply says 30 minutes. The opening is one filing a founder can see the cost of before they sign.
Original product launch

Product that inspired this idea
Corply's post says one prompt to an agent can incorporate a Delaware C-Corp, open a bank account, and accept credit card payments. A reply says less than 30 minutes. The page lists initial formation at $399, a Delaware filing plus formation service at $329, a managed 83(b) at $70 per founder, a free EIN, and a free corporate banking setup. A $69 monthly plan is marked required with formation. A registered agent is $7 and a virtual mailbox is $39 on that ongoing list. Delaware government fees are separate. A human reviews every state filing. The page says Corply is software from 0Lumen Labs Corp, not a law firm and not a bank. It names invoices and payments, not the words credit card. It does not say 30 minutes. Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor are the agents it names. This page did not file a company.
