| Box | Content |
|---|---|
| Problem | (1) Disconnected AI drafts — numbers drift across deck, canvas, and model. (2) Templates lack founder-specific economics. (3) Consultants are slow and expensive for pre-seed budgets. |
| Customer Segments | Primary: first-time pre-seed SaaS founders US/UK/EU. Secondary: serial founders spinning up a new entity who want speed without starting from a blank page. |
| Unique Value Proposition | One linked business plan → sixteen aligned investor documents in under an hour — consultant-grade structure without consultant pricing or calendar time. |
| Solution | AI discovery interview · Core Business Logic workspace · AI assistants (Ask / Discuss / Apply) · On-demand document generation and export. |
| Unfair Advantage | Cross-document assumption graph — edit pricing or beachhead once, exports reconcile. Compounds as we add more founder-specific templates and validation playbooks. Still early: brand and SEO moat not yet established. |
| Channels | (1) Founder communities (Indie Hackers, X build-in-public). (2) High-intent SEO (“business plan for SaaS”, “investor deck template”). (3) Accelerator/advisor referral codes. |
| Revenue Streams | €29.99 early bird / €59.99 list per project; €12.99 early bird token top-ups. Future: partner bundles. |
| Cost Structure | Variable: LLM inference (largest), export compute, payment fees, support. Fixed: hosting, observability, content, founder salary. |
| Key Metrics | North star: paid projects with ≥1 export. Supporting: interview→checkout conversion, gross margin/project, median time-to-export, NPS at export milestone. |
Riskiest assumption
Founders will pay €30 for depth after seeing view-only samples that prove structure and consistency — not just a shorter ChatGPT session.
What it is
Ash Maurya–style one-pager: nine boxes that force trade-offs. It keeps the team aligned on customers, problems, and economics before you write long memos.
Why it matters
Teams ship faster when trade-offs are explicit. The canvas surfaces contradictory assumptions before they turn into expensive build or spend decisions.
Who it's for
Early-stage founders, small teams without a full strategy function, and workshop participants who need a shared snapshot on one page.
What you'll find inside
- Customer segments and early adopters
- Problems, existing alternatives, and your solution
- Channels, revenue, cost structure, and metrics
When to use it
Workshops, weekly planning, or a fast snapshot before you commit to a full business plan.
After you generate it
Pin it in weekly reviews, revise when segments or channels shift, and use it as the agenda for investor conversations about how the business actually works.
