If I recall, if you set the AI starting funds to 0 and do not give yourself extra funds, the AI should start with the starting fund values unless "establish companies" is enabled and the company was founded before the start of the game. (Starting funds slider might need to be set higher than 0, but there is specific value which the game will use the .xml numbers.)

good human beings save the world, so that bastards like me can keep creating art, become immortal.
if you read this after I am dead it means I made it." ― Charles Bukowski
