+## 🎯 OPC Starter
+
+*Your quick-start checklist for launching a one-person company.*
+
+1. **Find your niche** — Pick a specific problem, validate demand, confirm willingness to pay.
+2. **Register your business** — Choose a legal structure (LLC, sole prop, etc.), open a business bank account.
+3. **Build your MVP** — Ship the simplest version that delivers value. Use AI tools to move fast.
+4. **Set up payments** — Integrate Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, or similar. Track finances from day one.
+5. **Launch & get users** — Go where your audience is. Build in public. First 10 users > first 10,000.
+6. **Automate & scale solo** — Use AI agents and SaaS to handle support, marketing, ops, and reporting.
+
+⚠️ Key Reminders
+
+- **You are the bottleneck** — Ruthlessly prioritize. Delegate to AI what doesn't need your judgment.
+- **Revenue first** — One paying customer is worth more than a thousand stars on GitHub.
+- **Automate everything repeatable** — If you're doing it twice a week, automate it. Your time is the scarcest resource.
+- **Separate you from the company** — Use limited liability, business bank accounts, and proper contracts from day one.
+- **Ship fast, iterate faster** — Solo means no meetings, no approvals. Use that speed as your competitive advantage.
+- **Build in public, but protect your moat** — Share your journey to attract users, but keep your unfair advantage close.
