Who it's for — Founders carrying every major decision alone, without a real board or peer challenge.
Running it alone?
Running the company by yourself does not mean you have to think by yourself.
Sovereign can simulate the executive perspectives your company may not yet have — finance, operations, marketing, revenue, technology, customer, research, risk, people, security and a dedicated contrarian — without pretending those AI advisors are legal directors. If you are a sole proprietor, a single-member LLC or simply the only person running the business today, Sovereign switches to Founder-Only mode: a Simulated Executive Advisory Council, no quorum, no board vote, no minutes of a board that does not exist. You remain the sole decision-maker, and every record is written as a Founder Advisory Session with an Owner Decision. Add a real director, accountant, attorney or investor later and the suite moves to hybrid governance without losing a single piece of company memory.

PRICING DECISION
Chief Marketing Officer
Raising price by 30% is defensible. Our positioning is under-priced against three comparable operators, and our win rate is above 60% — that's a pricing signal, not a sales signal.
WAITINGChief Financial Officer
The margin case is strong. The cash case depends on churn. If we lose more than 11% of the base, the increase is net-negative for two quarters. I want a modelled floor before approval.
WAITINGCustomer Officer
Forty-one percent of accounts joined during the launch pricing narrative. Repricing them without a grandfathering window converts loyal customers into a support incident.
WAITINGChief Contrarian
Everyone is debating how to raise price. Nobody has asked whether we're solving a discounting problem with a pricing decision. If discounting is the leak, the increase just widens it.

Founder decision
The board does not vote. It hands you a recommendation, the recorded dissent and the reasoning behind both. You decide.
Founder Lock
This product advises. You decide.
Founder removal, ownership changes, equity or debt issuance, sale of the company, banking ownership, material financial commitments and legal signatures are permanently protected. AI advisors here are not legally recognised directors.
Good things to ask.
No. The Sovereign Board is advisory and non-voting. It is not a legally recognised director, officer or fiduciary. Your legal governance stays exactly where it is today.
Yes, and Sovereign adjusts to it. If you are a sole proprietor, single-member LLC or simply the only person running the business, Founder-Only mode presents the seats as a Simulated Executive Advisory Council rather than a board: no quorum, no motions, no votes, no legal-director labels, and no formal minutes. Records are written as Founder Advisory Sessions with Owner Decisions, and AI recommendations are never corporate resolutions.
Yes. Add a director, manager, advisor, accountant, attorney, investor or executive at any time and the suite moves from solo advisory to hybrid governance, keeping all prior company memory. Sessions recorded before that stay labelled as advisory history — they are never converted into board actions after the fact.
Founder Lock is the permanent boundary of the system: AI advises, AI challenges, AI researches, and AI may execute only within limits you explicitly approved. Irreversible and high-risk acts always stop at you.
Yes. Sovereign Start includes a 14-day free trial for brand-new accounts — full access, no card required. The trial is available on Start only; Sovereign Board and Board Pro begin at their listed monthly or one-time white-label pricing.
