OUR STORY
We build for builders
cobuddyAI was born from a simple frustration: too many great founders fail because they skip research. We are on a mission to make product validation fast, accessible, and reliable for every founder on earth.
"We believe every founder deserves the same quality of market intelligence that was once reserved for companies with six-figure consulting budgets. AI changes the game. We are just making sure founders win it."
— The cobuddyAI team
Our journey so far
The frustration that started it all
After watching three promising startups in our circle fail because of bad market assumptions, we realized that the gap was not in talent or execution — it was in research. Founders were building blindfolded.
First prototype
We built a scrappy internal tool that combined LLMs with structured product research frameworks. Within weeks, friends were asking to use it. We knew we were onto something.
Private beta launch
500 founders joined our beta. The feedback was overwhelming. People told us this was the tool they had been wishing existed for years. We iterated furiously based on their input.
10,000 users
Word spread through founder communities, Twitter threads, and Product Hunt. Our competitor analysis feature went viral. We raised a small seed round to grow the team.
Public launch
cobuddyAI launched publicly with the full research suite: competitor analysis, validation scoring, product canvas, market sizing, and launch planning. 2,000+ founders signed up in the first quarter.
VALUES
What we stand for
Founders first
Every feature, every decision, every line of copy is evaluated through one lens: does this help a founder build something better? We are not building for VCs, enterprises, or vanity metrics.
Data over opinions
We believe the best products are built on evidence, not gut feelings. Our platform exists to surface real signals so founders can make informed decisions instead of expensive guesses.
Radical transparency
Our pricing is simple. Our AI explains its reasoning. We publish our methodology. We do not hide behind black boxes because founders deserve to understand the tools they rely on.
Speed as a feature
Startups move fast. Research that takes weeks is research that does not get done. We obsess over making deep analysis available in minutes, not days.
