You Need Dozens of Agents Not Engineers
February 12, 2026
It sounds like science fiction but the coding AI tools are now advanced enough that you can have dozens operating on your behalf concurrently.
Today we’re talking about branding as an early-stage startup. Many founders want to use their first cash to spend big on an agency. But nowadays, you can get started for under $100. Here’s how:
You can try AI-based services like Looka for $50, or low-cost freelancers on Fiverr and Upwork. 99designs is the long-term leader but they start around $300.
Squarespace, Webflow, WordPress, Wix — the list of services you can use to build a great-looking website is endless and most include a large number of templates. Try a few and pick your favorite. Prices start around ~$15/month.
First, take a look at the free templates for Office or Google Workspace. Paid accounts there start at $10/month. There are also services like Picktochart, which are focused on one-pagers but start around $20/month.
Although I certainly advise spending a few thousand dollars on a great designer to build a world-class deck, you can also get a very nice deck from Beautiful.ai and their pricing starts at around $15/month.
So there you have it, your startup’s branding essentials, all for under $100.
Best of luck out there.
