Stage 2: Pre Seed

Plan the sprint, ship the product and use AI workflows so a small team moves like a large one.

Current challenges

  • MVP is live but traction is still thin
  • Investor narrative not yet sharp enough for a first raise
  • Go to market is founder led and unrepeatable

What's happening now

Full brief →

Validate the pain, not the pitch

Current objective

Run five problem-discovery interviews with clinic operators before shipping v2.

Why this matters

You are building for a segment you have not validated yet, so this de-risks the next six weeks.

Expected outcome

A clear ICP, three validated pain points and one committed design partner.

Estimated completion

6 days · aligned with the Sprint 2 review

Current blockers

Only 2 of 5 interviews are confirmed. You need warm intros to clinic operators in EMEA.

Recommended next action

Ask the AI Coach to draft outreach and book 3 intros via the Product Powerhouse Pod.

Today's recommendations

Personalised by your AI coach from sprint goals and founder health.

Personal · always on

Hi Maya. I noticed you have spent three weeks building but have not spoken to customers yet. Most founders get stuck here.

I recommend:

  • Customer Discovery Sprint
  • GTM Clinic
  • Validation Template
