Agentic AI Mentor Platform for Founders

SaaS platform with an agentic AI business mentor that walks founders through every stage from formation to exit. Every reply is grounded in the founder's own documents and financials — advice is specific to their company, not generic startup talk.

From your documents to advice that fits your company.

Founders upload contracts, financials, and plans. The agent reads them at runtime, walks the founder through a 73-step roadmap from formation to exit, and grounds every reply in the company's actual state. Subscription tiers gate which stages and how much agent access each subscriber gets.

This is an animated mockup of the agentic-mentor capability — not a live product. Company names, founder numbers, and document titles are illustrative.

01

Document-grounded answers

Every agent reply is conditioned on the founder's uploaded contracts, financials, and plans — not generic startup advice. The agent knows the runway, customer concentration, and cap table before it suggests anything.

02

Agentic AI mentor layer

An agent loop reads the corpus at runtime, plans the response, and cites which documents and signals shaped it. The result is reasoning, not autocomplete.

03

73-step founder roadmap

A proprietary framework walks founders from formation to exit across Formation → Validation → Growth → Scale → Exit stages. The agent always knows what step you are on and what comes next.

04

Mentor knowledge distillation

Heuristics from real human advisors are codified into the agent so it applies experienced patterns rather than reciting public articles. Each piece of advice traces back to a distilled mentor source.

05

Adaptive personalisation

Tone and depth adjust to the founder's stage, style, and signal density. Early-stage founders get encouragement and structure; later-stage founders get sharper trade-off framing.

06

Stripe subscription tiers

Free entry to the roadmap; Pro and Premium tiers unlock deeper agent access and human mentor syncs. Stripe handles billing, tier gating, and access controls across UI, agent, and roadmap engine.

What we built

SaaS platform with an agentic AI business mentor that walks founders through every stage from formation to exit. Every reply is grounded in the founder's own documents and financials — advice is specific to their company, not generic startup talk.

How we built it

Founders upload company documents (contracts, financials, plans, customer agreements); the agent reads them at runtime and conditions its responses on the company's actual state. A proprietary 73-step roadmap structures the founder journey; Stripe handles tiered subscriptions.

Each founder uploads their company's data — contracts, financials, plans, customer agreements, board materials. The agent references this corpus at runtime and gives advice specific to the founder's actual stage, runway, customers, and constraints. The 73-step framework walks the founder through formation, fundraising, ops scaling, exit prep. Stripe-billed tiers gate which framework stages and how much agent access each subscriber gets.

Architecture

How a request flows through it

Each request enters at the top of the diagram, flows through every box, and lands at the bottom — exactly the way the production system behaves. The scan-line traces where a live request would be right now.

The interesting parts

Document-grounded answers

Every reply is conditioned on the company's uploaded documents and financials, not on generic startup advice. The agent knows the founder's runway, customer concentration, and contract terms before it suggests anything.

Mentor knowledge distillation

Knowledge from real human mentors is codified into the agent so it applies experienced patterns rather than reciting public articles. The agent stops being generic LLM and starts being a specific advisor.

73-step founder roadmap engine

A structured framework guides founders from formation through exit. The agent uses the roadmap to know what stage the founder is in and what comes next — instead of always responding to whatever's top of mind.

Tiered subscriptions via Stripe

Free entry to the roadmap; premium tiers unlock deeper agent access. Stripe handles billing, tier gating, and access controls across UI, agent, and roadmap engine.

Decisions

The calls that did most of the work

A handful of engineering choices shape how a system feels. Here are the ones we'd still defend — alongside what each one cost.

01

Ground the agent in the company's own documents and financials

Generic startup advice is everywhere — the value is advice specific to this founder's runway, customers, and contracts. Grounding makes the agent's answers actionable rather than generic.

Tradeoff: The customer has to upload sensitive material, and the ingestion/retrieval pipeline becomes part of the product surface.

02

Stripe-billed tiered subscriptions

A free roadmap entry point plus paid AI consultation maps to a recognised funnel that founders already understand from other SaaS.

Tradeoff: Tier-gating logic spreads across UI, agent, and payments — three places that have to agree on what 'tier 2' means.
