How the modules fit together

The course follows a logical founder workflow. You can move through it end-to-end or jump to the sections that match your current stage. The prompts and frameworks are consistent across modules so your work compounds rather than starting from scratch each time.

• Discover and Validate: Market Research, Business Model Validation, Competitive Analysis, Customer Persona Creation. These modules help you ground your idea in actual demand, segment your audience, and test feasibility.
• Shape the Product: Product Ideation, Product Roadmap Creation. Translate insights into prioritized features, milestones, and launch plans.
• Brand and Communicate: Product Naming & Branding, Content Creation, Elevator Pitch Development, Marketing Strategy Development. Build a coherent voice from short pitches to multi-channel campaigns.
• Measure and Learn: Survey & Feedback Analysis. Close the loop between audience signals and your roadmap and messaging.
• Operate and Fund: Financial Projections, Legal & Compliance Queries, Hiring & Team Building, Investment Pitching. Build credibility with numbers, manage risk, attract talent, and prepare to raise.

Using the prompts effectively

• Start with context: Before running any prompt, define your goal, target segment, constraints, and success criteria. Clear inputs lead to actionable outputs.
• Iterate, don't one-shot: Treat each output as a draft. Ask for alternative angles, add or remove constraints, and request clarifications until the result fits your needs.
• Ask for structure: Request organized outputs (headings, bullet points, labeled sections) so you can copy/paste into docs, spreadsheets, or project tools.
• Quantify assumptions: For estimates and forecasts, ask for ranges, drivers, and scenario labels. This makes it easier to adjust numbers and defend your case.
• Compare and contrast: Use prompts that produce side-by-side options with criteria and trade-offs to speed up decision-making.
• Ground claims: Request references, sources, and rationale. Follow up with your own verification for any critical decision.
• Keep a prompt library: Save your best-performing prompts and variants. Version them as your context changes so your outputs stay consistent.
• Protect sensitive data: Avoid sharing confidential details unless you're working in an environment with appropriate security controls. Use placeholders where needed.
• Human-in-the-loop: Always bring judgment, domain knowledge, and stakeholder input. AI accelerates work; you decide what makes the cut.

Why this course delivers value

• Speed with substance: You'll move faster without sacrificing depth. Each module focuses on outcomes founders need to show: evidence of demand, strategic clarity, and credible plans.

• Share with stakeholders: Use structured outputs to align co-founders, advisors, and early team members quickly.

Practical notes and limitations

• Bias and gaps: Be mindful of bias in training data and your own inputs. Ask for alternative views and counterexamples.
• Confidentiality: Use non-sensitive information unless you are in a secure enterprise environment. Replace specifics with placeholders.
