Master Your Systems

A program that takes teens to their first paying business, and a founders' community now forming, both built around one idea: one person plus agents can build and run real ventures.

🎓 Make First

Live

Your teen's first real business, built with AI. Founding cohort forming.

In one semester, a teenager goes from an idea to a business that has made its first sale to a stranger. Six stages with real gates, an AI cofounder that coaches instead of doing the work, and a lesson library that teaches building with AI tools, not coding.

The Path

  • ✓Six stages: Spark, Make, Launch, Sell, Grow, Run
  • ✓Each stage ends at a First, from First Idea to First $10K
  • ✓An AI cofounder that coaches, checks, and unblocks
  • ✓Make First Academy: lessons landing module by module

Why The Fractary?

Built for founders working alone, by a studio that runs its own ventures the same way.

Community-Sourced, Clearly Labeled

The Stockyard is an index of tools from public GitHub lists and official sources. We say where each listing came from and exactly what "Verified" does and doesn't mean.

How we build this index →

No Affiliate Links, No Paid Placements

Nothing in the directory is sponsored and no link earns us a commission. The studio's business is building ventures and publishing open-source tools, not selling placement.

Solo-Focused

Everything here is built for the entrepreneur of one: tools you can run yourself, a stack you can own, and a community forming for founders who build alone.
