From the founder

I'm not just the founder of IdeaByLunch. I'm also my own customer. I run an empire of products — and every one of them was launched, audited, and rewritten with this tool. If it doesn't work for me, it doesn't ship to you.

FAQ

The honest answers.

Is this an agency or a tool?+

A tool. You own the code, the domain, the customers, the GitHub repo. We are the launchpad, not the contractor. Most founders never speak to us — they just ship.

What if my idea isn't good?+

We will tell you in the brief. The whole point is to find out by lunch — not after six months and $40,000 of build cost. A bad idea found cheaply is a feature, not a bug.

Do I need to know how to code?+

No. We deliver a live, deployed business. You also get a master build prompt — drop it into Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex if you want to keep building.

Who owns the code and the domain?+

You. 100%. The Vercel project, the GitHub repo, the domain registration — all transferred to you. No lock-in, no licence fee, no vendor moat.

How is this different from Bolt, Lovable, or v0?+

They generate code. We generate a founder. The brief, the ICP, the GTM, the launch plan, AND a live site. Code is the easy part of being a founder now — strategy and momentum are the hard parts.

Can I really launch by lunch?+

Brief in 60 seconds. Live site within hours. The "lunch" is the ritual — buy in the morning, share screenshots with friends at lunch, post on LinkedIn by dinner.

You can have a business by lunch.
Or you can keep thinking about it.

60 seconds. No signup. No card. Just your idea.
