AI Business Coach

Identify business bottlenecks and prescribe actions.

Looks at the business's numbers and says what is actually holding it back, in order, with something specific to do about each. It prescribes rather than explores.

What a v1 does5 features
  • Bottlenecks identified from real figures
  • Ranked by what they cost the business
  • A concrete action per bottleneck, not a principle
  • Progress checked at the next review
  • Willing to say the problem is the owner's time

The market

Adjacent marketBusiness planning and validation
$757Ma year at Coursera, from 197M registered learners

People pay reliably to learn how to run a business, and HoneyBook's 100,000 members show they pay to run one. Paying to validate an idea before starting is much less established. These are adjacent comparables rather than direct ones, and $49 a month should be read that way.

Why this audience

These viewers consume diagnosis - what is wrong with this business and what to do - as entertainment. They are comfortable being told the bottleneck is them. A tool that prescribes rather than explores matches the register they already enjoy.

Fifty thousand paying users is the ceiling every one of these pages is drawn against, not a forecast. It opens at a thousand, the bottom of the range, so the first figures you see are the modest ones. What the cap buys is comparability: the same range on every app, and the percentage of the audience it takes as the number that moves.

Is this the one for your audience?

We fund it, build it, and run it. You bring the audience and take a share of the revenue. Nothing to pay and nothing to build.
