Get specific mentor feedback
Our push to make startups easier for founders continues, this month we unlocked mentor feedback to all. Not just the 2% who get accepted into incubators, or those living in startup hubs.
All questions that require your text response now have an AI feedback button. The AI is prompted with your startup data, just like how you would give a mentoring context on your startup before asking for help or feedback. The feedback AI is trained to help you tighten up and make your answers more concise to prepare you for decision making, talking to investors and potential customers.
You can quickly get feedback on all your answers in a one-pager, or as you work your way through each level of the startup Journey.
