The questions founders, incubators & accelerators ask first.

Startups Couch is an AI-native workspace for founders, incubators, and accelerators. It bundles strategy canvases (Business Model Canvas, Lean Canvas, SWOT, Value Proposition, Pitch Deck, and more), Notion-style planning pages, a project todo list, and an AI copilot that reads every page in your project and proposes specific edits you accept or dismiss.

Business Model Canvas, Lean Canvas, Value Proposition Canvas, SWOT, Empathy Map, Jobs-to-be-Done, Problem Statement, TAM–SAM–SOM, and Pitch Deck — every framework is scored against a hidden rubric and Fix-It rewrites your weakest blocks. Pro plans add Competitive Analysis, Market Research, Investor Memo, Fundraising Plan, Unit Economics, Traction Metrics, and more.

Yes — and more. Paste a one-line idea and the AI copilot drafts your full Business Model Canvas (Key Partners, Value Propositions, Customer Segments, Channels, Revenue Streams, and all nine blocks). Every block is a draggable bullet list you can edit, reorder, or hand back to the copilot to sharpen.

Yes. Each founder gets their own project workspace with the full AI copilot, canvases, planning pages, and todos. Programs invite mentors and admins as editors or viewers — viewers can read every surface and chat with the AI in read-only Ask mode but cannot modify the founder’s work. The community profile is a public showcase once a founder’s Business Model Canvas scores 75 or higher.

Notion gives you a blank page. Miro gives you a blank board. ChatGPT gives you a blank prompt. Startups Couch gives you a startup-specific workspace where the AI already knows what a Business Model Canvas, a SWOT, or a pitch deck should contain — and reads every surface in your project on every request, so a SWOT stays consistent with the BMC and Wednesday’s planning notes inform Friday’s pitch deck.

Yes. Answer the 7 idea-intake questions and the AI runs an idea check that flags vague answers, missing context, and contradictions before you waste tokens on canvas generation. Once your idea passes, the AI copilot opens automatically so you can pick which canvases to generate.

Both. Ask mode is read-only — Copilot answers questions about your canvas without changing it. Edit mode unlocks the full toolset: read_block, update_block, add_suggestion. Every AI write becomes a new version on the server, so Cmd+Z undoes it across devices and sessions.

Free includes the Business Model Canvas, Problem Statement, the project todo list, AI scoring, and PNG and JSON export. Pro unlocks every template (Pitch Deck, Lean Canvas, Value Prop Canvas, Investor Memo, TAM–SAM–SOM, and more), idea generation, planning pages, PDF export, and community publishing.
