— How it works

From idea to insight in three steps.

No spreadsheets, no hours of research. Paste your idea and get a founder-ready analysis in seconds.

Step 0101

Describe your idea

Open the dashboard and paste a one-paragraph description of your startup idea. Include the problem you're solving, your proposed solution, and your target customer.

No pitch deck, no financial model, no 50-slide presentation. Just describe what you want to build and who it's for. The more specific you are, the sharper the analysis.

  • Problem + solution in one paragraph
  • Target customer defined
  • No formatting required
