For pre-seed & pre-launch founders

Pulse. The week, on a page.

An operator’s cockpit for your startup. Reads your repo, your numbers, and what’s in your head — then closes the loop with weekly office hours that already know what changed.

How it works

Not an accelerator. Not a community. A cockpit you check daily and an AI partner you sit with weekly.

CK

The cockpit

One screen for the week. Score, retention, what's open, what to do next. The pulse strip up top, attention items in the main column, the slow-changing portrait in the sidebar.

Paste what's in your head

A few sentences become structured signal across the cockpit. Customer conversations, decisions, open questions — Pulse fills in the blocks so the AI can read the same picture you see.

AN

Reads your repo and your numbers

GitHub commits, PostHog or Mixpanel retention, Dune, Google Analytics. The score is honest because the data is real — not your self-report.

OH

Weekly office hours

Once a week, sit with the AI partner. It already knows what changed in your repo, your numbers, and your head — so the questions land where it counts.

An honest scorecard

Five dimensions, scored 0–10, with reasoning grounded in your actual repo and numbers. A 3 is told as a 3 — never dressed up.

Demand evidence
6/10

12 design-partner conversations, 4 LOIs. Strong signal but no paid pilots — willingness-to-pay still untested.

Wedge clarity
7/10

“Replace eng manager 1:1s for distributed teams” is sharp. The “PM standup” positioning in the deck is muddying it.

Retention shape
3/10

D7 at 18%, D30 below 8%. Top quintile returns weekly; the rest churn after first session. Habit hook missing for 80% of cohort.

Shipping velocity
8/10

47 commits this week across both founders. PR cadence steady, no stalled branches over 4 days.

Team clarity
6/10

Roles split clean technical/GTM. Open question on who owns design-partner pipeline as you scale past 20 conversations.

What’s inside the AI

Pulse isn’t a generic startup chatbot. It’s a system, designed.

A decade in frontier ecosystems. 1,000+ founding teams worked with directly. A portfolio’s worth of angel checks written tuition-style to learn what actually moves a startup week to week. Thousands of hours of recorded founder conversations — pattern-matched and distilled into the questions the AI asks now.

The AI partner doesn’t ask generic startup questions. It asks what I’d ask after reading your repo, your retention curve, and your week.

A week with Pulse

01

Open the cockpit

Score, D7 retention, attention items, what shifted since last week. Built around frequency-of-change — daily signals up top, weekly action in the middle, slow portrait on the side.

02

Paste what's in your head

Mid-week, a quick context dump becomes structured signal: customer conversations, decisions, open questions. The blocks fill in across the cockpit.

03

The data keeps it honest

GitHub commits and analytics retention plug in once and stay live. The cockpit reflects what you actually shipped and what users actually did, not what you wish.

04

Office hours close the loop

Fifteen minutes once a week with an AI partner that already read your week. Sharper questions, no warm-up, real action items for next week.
