Own Hoplite.

What you'd own.

Every artifact below transfers to your accounts on day one. The whole engine.

• ●Production API server with agent execution runtime and webhook support
• ●Stripe billing system with three-tier pricing model and usage tracking
• ●Marketing website, documentation, and free-tier onboarding flow
• ●Customer database with email, usage logs, and billing records
• ●Outbound sales playbook targeting AI startups on LinkedIn and GitHub
• ●Financial model, GTM strategy, and competitor analysis documentation
• ●Early customer feedback, usage patterns, and revenue baseline data

What Roll Digital builds for you.

Custom scope to take Hoplite from MVP shell to operating business.

• ▸Production FastAPI backend with Postgres database for multi-tenant agent execution
• ▸Stripe billing integration across free tier and three paid tiers
• ▸Docker containerization and Kubernetes deployment for horizontal scaling
• ▸Email and OAuth authentication with domain-based team provisioning
• ▸Real-time agent monitoring dashboard with execution logs and resource metrics
• ▸Customer support ticketing system and documentation knowledge base
• ▸Initial 30-day technical onboarding for first 10 paying customers
• ▸Monitoring and alerting for uptime, cost anomalies, and failure patterns

Why this could work.

The TAM is real: ~100k development teams spend $9k annually on agent infrastructure. Hoplite's free tier lowers adoption friction in a market where Modal owns early mindshare but overprices for small teams. Targeting AI startups directly via LinkedIn and GitHub creates a sustainable funnel. If execution is tight and unit economics hold at $49-$299/mo, reaching even 200 paying customers delivers meaningful ARR and attracts acquirers.

What you'd risk.

Modal.com and cloud providers already own the space with stronger capital, brand, and platform lock-in. Serverless agent abstractions are unproven: long-lived agents, persistent memory, and real-time websockets break the Lambda execution model, shrinking addressable market. Compute margin collapse is real if large customers adopt instead of true serverless workloads. Year 1 shows negative take-home at mid-case ARR. Failure probability sits at 89 percent.

Who this fits.

Ideal owner is a solo SaaS founder or small dev team with prior infrastructure or DevOps experience. Must have credibility with AI startups (via network, previous product, or industry standing) to execute outbound GTM. Should tolerate negative cash flow for 6-12 months and be willing to iterate on pricing and positioning. Technical depth matters more than sales experience.
