I built StartClaw because I got tired of debugging Docker at 2am

3 days ago I discovered OpenClaw. AI agents that browse, message, and automate? I was sold.

But here's the thing: I'm a founder, not a DevOps engineer.

I spent my first evening excitedly setting up a VPS. By 2am I was debugging Docker networking issues. By morning I'd lost all my agent's conversation history because the container crashed.

This wasn't what I signed up for.

So I built StartClaw — managed OpenClaw hosting that just works:
• No terminal
• No Docker configs
• No 3am debugging
• Your agent live in 60 seconds

3-day free trial. No credit card required. If you hate it, no hard feelings.

Has anyone else hit this wall with self-hosting AI tools? Would love to hear your war stories.
