How It Works

From Chaos to Clarity
In Four Simple Steps

Founder doesn't change how you workβ€”it makes how you work smarter. Drop everything into one place and let AI organize your founder journey.

01

Capture Everything

Drop any thought, idea, meeting note, or insight into your inbox. Voice, text, links - whatever format works for you.

Example:
"Had a great conversation with a potential customer. They mentioned they'd pay $100/month for automated reporting."
02

AI Organization

Our AI instantly classifies your input, suggests connections to existing work, and identifies potential next steps.

Example:
β†’ Classified as 'Knowledge' β†’ Connected to 'Customer Discovery' project β†’ Suggests: 'Create pricing experiment action'
03

Smart Execution

Get AI-prioritized actions, track project momentum, and receive warnings about common founder mistakes.

Example:
⚑ High priority: Validate pricing with 5 more customers ⚠️ Warning: Building features without enough validation
04

Continuous Learning

Every completion teaches the system about your patterns, building a personalized founder playbook.

Example:
πŸ“ˆ You're most productive on customer calls Tuesday-Thursday 🎯 Success probability increased to 85% after validation

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Founder

How is this different from project management tools?

Traditional PM tools assume linear workflows. Founder understands that building a startup is chaotic, non-linear, and requires constant pivoting. Our AI learns your patterns and suggests what to do next based on successful founder journeys.

What makes the AI 'founder-specific'?

Our AI is trained on patterns from thousands of successful startups. It understands concepts like product-market fit, anti-patterns like premature scaling, and the unique challenges founders face at different stages.

Can I import my existing data?

Yes! We support imports from Notion, Airtable, Trello, Linear, and most other productivity tools. Our AI will help categorize and connect your existing work.

Is my data secure?

Absolutely. We use enterprise-grade encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and never train our models on your private data. Your startup secrets stay secret.

What if I'm not technical?

Founder is designed for all founders, not just technical ones. The interface is intuitive, and our AI handles the complexity behind the scenes. No setup required.
