Questions people ask
Is Clayleo a NanoCorp alternative?
Yes — both create autonomous companies from a one-sentence description. Clayleo differs in the guardrails: a 0–100 validation gate before anything is built, explicit approval on every dollar of spend, and a public leaderboard of what companies actually earn.
Which is better for a first-time founder?
A first-time founder usually benefits most from the validation gate: most first ideas need iteration, and it is cheaper to learn that from market research than from a live company.
