Founder's Round Tables

New or coming back — same button, no password to create.

Bring an idea. Watch six specialists argue about it.
Then bring them what you found out.

A Business Analyst, Product Manager, Marketing Agent, Financial Expert and Technical Architect, run by a Program Manager who won't let the room agree too easily. They're all at the table from the first round, and you can cut in whenever you like. You leave with a decision, what to do next, and a scorecard.

When the idea needs an outsider

And when an idea turns on something none of the six actually knows — food service margins, licensing, clinical workflow, freight — a domain expert in exactly that is brought to the table, mid-debate, and argues alongside them. The Program Manager proposes one when the room keeps circling a gap it can't close; you can call one in yourself at any point.

When it shouldn't be said to everyone

Some things don't belong in front of the whole table — the real runway, a co-founder you're worried about. You can take any one specialist aside and tell them privately, while the debate carries on without them. It changes how they argue from then on; it never reaches the room, the scorecard or a report unless you decide it should.

When a fund will score it

Every fund scores on its own matrix. Pick an evaluation framework when you start — the house scorecard, or one modelled on how pre-seed, seed and Series A funds score — and the room argues what that fund would look at. Re-read any finished chapter under another framework before you pitch.

How a venture runs

  1. Debate itThey take the idea apart while you steer.
  2. Go test the guessEvery debate ends on something only the real world can answer.
  3. Come backThe next chapter starts from your evidence — and the room remembers everything it already settled.

Founder's Round Tables

Your projects

Each idea gets its own room and its own history — open one to pick up where it left off, or start a new one. A room doesn't close after one debate: go away, find something out, and come back for the next chapter.

Your whole founding team sits at every table — there's no line-up to pick. The six are the permanent roster; on top of them, a domain expert can join mid-debate when the idea turns on ground none of them covers, proposed by the Program Manager or called in by you with /agents. The Opening is independent first reads, written at the same time. From Round 1 on they argue properly: the Program Manager puts each round's questions to the two or three who can actually move it forward, and they speak one at a time so they're arguing with each other rather than past each other. You can cut in mid-round, and whoever hasn't spoken yet will answer you.

Wrapping up closes a chapter, not the room: you get the recommendation, a scorecard across a set of KPIs — idea clarity, market opportunity, technical feasibility and more — and a PDF report. Then go test the thing everyone was guessing about and open the next chapter with what you found; the room keeps every decision it has settled. When you're done, close the venture and say how it went.

When you start a project you choose how it is scored: the house scorecard, or an evaluation framework modelled on how a pre-seed, seed or Series A fund would score it. Chosen once for the venture; any finished chapter can be re-read under another framework from the bar beneath its scorecard.

Nothing on the table yet

Bring an idea — a sentence is enough. The whole founding team will pick it apart with you.

Shared with you

Read-only — you can follow the debate, decisions, and scorecard, but only the owner can drive the room.

How it works · Terms & Privacy

New project

Give the room your idea, and anything you've already written about it. The team reads both before saying a word.

Prefer to say it? Use the mic on your keyboard. Write or speak in any language — it will be put into English, which is what the room and the report are written in.

What you wrote

The scorecard at the end of every chapter. The house scorecard is what the room has always used; a fund’s framework scores what that fund would look at, at the stage it invests. Chosen once, for the whole venture.

A plan, research, a spreadsheet exported to text, early numbers — whatever the room should treat as given. .txt, .md or .pdf, 8 MB each. Every agent reads all of them in every round, so pick the ones that matter.

    Share

    Give someone read-only access — they can follow the transcript, decisions, and scorecard, but can't run a round, comment, wrap up, or delete anything. They need a Founder's Round Tables account already.

    Private · only they can hear this

    Private to this specialist. It shapes how they argue from here on, and it never reaches the room, the scorecard or a report unless you send it.

    Summarize & cascade has them tell the room where this conversation landed — their conclusion and what changed their mind, in their own words, without your private details. You read it before it goes. This chat stays open and carries on either way.

    They may still let something slip — they are trying not to.

    This is what they would say to the room
