If you’ve just subscribed to Builder, welcome.
You probably feel excited — and a little overwhelmed.

That’s normal.

You just unlocked funding opportunities, AI tools, templates, content, and resources most founders don’t get access to in one place. The question now is simple:

What do I do first?

This guide walks you through the core steps to launching a real business, in the order that actually makes sense. Think of it as a checklist you can return to as you build. You don’t need to do everything at once — but you do need to understand what each step is and how to approach it correctly.

The good news: for every step below, there’s something inside the Builder dashboard designed to help you move faster and avoid mistakes.
