- ▌ Founder Playbook · samuelcastro bundleUse when a founder zooms out for whole-company direction — which lifecycle stage am I in (Idea, MVP, Launch, Scale) and the most important thing to do next — rather than one concrete deliverable. Stage-by-stage operating guide for building an AI-native startup, distilled from Anthropic's "The Founder's Playbook" — each stage's goal, exit criteria, failure modes, and how to apply Claude. Triggers on a founder's judgment calls: am I ready to build, launch, scale, or raise; is this real product-market fit or a launch spike that fades; should I pivot or persevere; how to stop being the bottleneck; what moat compounds vs a better-funded incumbent; running an AI-native or solo non-technical startup. For a single artifact instead — pricing model, runway, deck, GTM plan, interview script — route to the matching per-function skill (business-model, finance-accounting, fundraising, growth-analytics, go-to-market, idea-validation).
