--- title: "For Founders" description: "Curated docTree for founders and operators — Features, Examples, Customization, and Web3 first, then go-live" locale: "en" --- # For Founders // NOTE: This file is an info-source reference document, NOT a sidebar // navigation item. It is NOT listed in meta.json and will NOT appear in // the right-sidebar doc tree. It exists for: // 1. Human-readable curated index for doc-library enhancement planning // 2. Cross-linking target from other docs (e.g., from welcome/index.mdx) // 3. TODO tracking for missing audience-specific content // The runtime sidebar filtering consumes audience-curated-docs.ts instead. // Index revision 2026-07-12: section order = features → examples → customization → web3. # For Founders Curated index for **founders, operators, and decision-makers**. Sidebar **Founder** tab mirrors this via `lib/docs/audience-curated-docs.ts` — section **key order** is the sidebar order. Product value (Features, Examples, Customization, Web3) sits above deploy/architecture. API / CLI / Development / MCP stay on the [For Developers](/docs/for-developers.md) tree. > **Info** > Flip **Founder** / **Developer** in the docs sidebar anytime.
