SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Simulated office hours that pair founders with an experienced startup mentor for a focused, interactive problem-solving session. The mentor asks probing questions, challenges assumptions, and helps you think clearly through your product, growth, fundraising, hiring, or pivot questions—without giving you the answer, but guiding you toward your own conclusions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured conversation format with a real mentor persona (Michael Seibel, Dalton Caldwell, Gustaf Alstromer, Jared Friedman) to help with product decisions, growth strategy, fundraising, and technical decisions.
  • Stepwise session flow: Understand, Dig, Challenge, Framework, Action, ending with a concrete homework plan.
  • Context awareness: references your codebase and project context to ground feedback in reality.
  • Clear rules: limited exchanges (max 6-8), one question per turn, warm but direct tone, and a defined follow-up with homework.
