Will Mitchell. Helping people with day jobs build real things with AI. Founder of StartupBros and House of Vibe, 9,000+ entrepreneurs served since 2012. Build Your First Thing.

Hi, I'm Will

I've sold things online since I was 12. I started StartupBros in 2012, and now I'm building House of Vibe, where people with day jobs learn AI by building real things. I work in Claude Code 8 to 10 hours a day.

I also work with a small number of funded teams as a fractional AI co-founder: willmitchell.com.

What I'm working on

Open source

  • hov-router: use your AI accounts from one place in Claude Code, and see which account handled each request. My fork of tombii/better-ccflare, where most of the upstream pull requests below started.
  • synthetic-panel: test marketing copy against AI customer personas, scored on your machine. No API key.
  • house-of-vibe: scripts, checkers and tests from House Notes posts, one folder per post.

Merged upstream: 39 pull requests across 7 projects, including 27 in tombii/better-ccflare, 5 in steipete/oracle and 3 in jundot/omlx.

Background

  • StartupBros was one of the earliest Amazon FBA education companies, with 9,000+ clients since 2012.
  • An 8-figure exit: an e-commerce brand I helped buy and grow.
  • Lina Khan cited my Amazon ranking guide twice before she chaired the FTC: in the Yale Law Journal and in Oxford's Digital Dominance (all citations).
  • Quoted in The New York Times.
  • Co-author of Self-Made U.
