Charleston AI · Startups
Solopreneurship Program
Charleston AI exists so that one person with one idea can get to market without becoming a software company first.
Where startups are born.
Recent graduates
A few of the ideas that came through the lab and became real businesses. Every one is live, on its own domain, and taking customers today. None of them is a mockup.
You don’t pay for the AI. You pay for what arrives.
Recurring business artifacts — articles, reports, designs, whole websites — produced and delivered on a fixed cadence. The machine is hosted and maintained on our side; the customer buys deliveries, not seats or tokens.
The best system is the one you never operate.
Sells, installs, maintains, and repairs Personal Operating Systems — an intelligent layer built around one person, connected to their life and work, that handles everything predictable and surfaces only what deserves attention. Installed in person, seven steps, every time.
Your ideas, published beautifully.
A phone interview surfaces your principles, then the blogsite gets built — identity, structure, and a writing intelligence that predicts your next post rather than waiting for a prompt. No money upfront. You see it finished, then decide.
Hire digital employees at $1.68 an hour.
A staffing agency, not software. Infinia builds and operates the AI employee remotely and places it into your workflow — receptionists, lead qualifiers, CRM managers, copywriters — with no setup, no API keys, and no onboarding. Twelve roles across customer service, sales and marketing, all at one flat hourly rate, running 24/7.
The bar has been set. Very few will clear it.
A guided project, not a software sale. Susan Drake works in person with a small number of multi-property hospitality groups across South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida — connecting the reservation book, property system, point of sale and events inbox into one guest layer, so a stated intention comes back as a finished occasion rather than a list of things to book. By application, a handful at a time.
Your local service business, fully launched in 30 days.
Brand, website, four-channel AI lead capture, CRM, Google Business Profile, ads, Local Services Ads, and a bid-scouting engine that reads state, city, and federal boards every morning. One flat price, no retainer, you own everything.
AI is already in the classroom. We teach students how to think with it.
AI fluency, tutoring, and project coaching for grades 6–12, families, and educators in Charleston. Four moves — ask, test, build, explain — designed to give students capability without dependency.
Your ads are calling. Answer every one.
A fully managed 24/7 AI receptionist for businesses that pay to make the phone ring. It answers, qualifies the caller against your rules, books or transfers the next step, and drops the transcript and outcome where your team already works.
Your crew is great. Your paperwork is killing you.
An AI crew that rides along with the estimator, translates between the roof and the homeowner in 42 languages, and runs the CRM so nothing falls through. Twelve modules on one shared job record — notetaker, live crew translation, self-driving CRM, 24/7 front desk, claims and aerial measurement. Layers onto JobNimbus or AccuLynx instead of replacing them.
Graphic design, made face to face in Charleston.
Brand identity, logos, print, illustration, packaging, social graphics, and websites — the studio on Jessen Lane, established 2015. Free in-studio consultations.
Bring it to the lab. The program takes it from a concept to a business that is actually online and taking customers — the same path every venture above took.
