This is why your AI startup isn't shipping yet. You're not slow because of your product. You're building infrastructure — auth, billing,agent orchestration, analytics, compliance, from scratch, every time. Every AI startup builds the same infrastructure: 4-8 months and $150K-$300K before your actual product ships. That's runway you never get back — spent on code that isn't your product. The question isn't whether you can build it. It's: why would you?
