About StartingIt
Hey there - I'm Ryan Lynn, Founder of StartingIt.
Like many people, I spent years dreaming of starting a business.
But I didn't know what "it" was.
I had a lot of ideas, but never the idea. And even if I had the idea, I didn't know how to build.
Then AI changed everything.
What once required months of work, a team of engineers, complex infrastructure, and deep technical skills - just to get a prototype off the ground - can now be built solo in a weekend with the right insight and a few powerful tools.
The barriers have dropped. The playing field has leveled.
And so, I left my job to finally start it.
"For a long time, technical people in the startup industry have made fun of 'the idea guys'; people who had an idea and were looking for a team to build it. It now looks to me like they are about to have their day in the sun."
- Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI
But here's the catch:
Not everyone has the idea.
Not everyone knows how to use these tools.
Not everyone has the resources, advisors, or even knows where to begin.
That's why we built StartingIt.
There has never been a better time to start a business.
So why not start it now?
"AI will create more millionaires in five years than the internet did in twenty."
- Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA
We help aspiring founders start it, launch it, scale it, and go beyond.
Our leadership team and advisors bring 30+ years of experience building ventures, scaling teams, and earning recognition like Fastest Growing Technology Company, Best Place to Work, and Sales Rep of the Year. We've worked in consulting, sales, marketing, and operations—at both scrappy startups and large enterprises.
Most importantly, we've been in your shoes.
With StartingIt, we surface real trends based on live market sentiment, highlight unmet demand and emerging behavior, and pair those with structured business plans, prototype and MVP guides, curated AI tools, and sales and marketing strategies that actually work.
This isn't just about idea generation.
It's about helping you find the right opportunity - or refine your own - and move fast using the right tools to build something real.
Because starting from insight and advice beats building blind. Trust me, I know.
You don't need a green light.
You don't need permission.
You just need to start it.
Onward.
