We're on YouTube.

A new video on YouTube every week. I show you what AI can really do today for self-employed people and founders, and how it makes our lives easy.

Ben Scheurer, founder of Start & Connect

I build the tools I need myself every day to run my business with AI. I am pursuing one question: how far can AI really carry me in my work? My goal is a business that automates itself step by step.

Along the way, new concepts, ideas, software and tools keep emerging. Those are exactly what I pass on to my customers, so that every self-employed person benefits from the AI revolution.

Everything I build first has to prove itself in my own day-to-day work. Only when a concept brings me real, practical benefit do I release it. Theory stays in the drawer.

Software at a fixed price.

Sometimes none of our products fits. Then we build custom software at a fixed price that does exactly what your business needs. Cheaper than probably any agency.

Do I have to work with Claude?

No. You can connect any AI to our tools, whether Mistral, ChatGPT or Gemini. It just runs most smoothly with Claude and delivers the best results.

Do I need my own Claude subscription?

Not for the tools, the AI connection is included. You only need your own Claude subscription if you want to use Claude Code.

Can I also operate the tools myself without AI?

Yes. Every tool also works fully in the classic way through its interface. The AI is an accelerator, not a requirement.

Where is it hosted?

The tools run on servers in Germany at Hetzner. For individual functions such as sending email, payments and AI we use service providers, some of them outside the EU, safeguarded by EU standard contractual clauses. Which ones they are is set out in the privacy policy and in the data processing agreement.

How can I cancel?

Any time, by yourself in the customer portal, without giving a reason and without an email to support. The cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term.

Software and tools for modern self-employment. Built with AI, hosted in Germany.
