Ask your board of advisors

Eleven advisor personas that read your venture's real modules before answering — what they can see, what they can't, and what they are not.

Where it is

Open a venture and pick the Advisor tab. The panel is headed Personal Board of Advisors.

Who you can ask

Eleven advisors, each modelled on a public business philosophy: Alex Hormozi (offers & scale), Dan Martell (systems & SaaS), Russell Brunson (funnels), Gary Vaynerchuk (attention), Naval Ravikant (leverage), Jeff Bezos (customer & ops), Elon Musk (first principles), Peter Thiel (contrarian moat), Paul Graham (startup craft), Jensen Huang (tech bets), Richard Branson (brand & culture).

Or Ask the board and put the question to all of them at once, which is the right move for a decision where you expect disagreement.

These are not the real people. Each persona is an AI advisor inspired by a public figure's published frameworks and communication style. They do not represent those people, they carry no endorsement, and they are instructed never to fabricate direct quotes.

What they actually read

This is the part that makes the answers useful. Before responding, an advisor is given that one venture's real state:

  • The venture facts: lifecycle stage, kind, location, industry, the original idea, the verdict and score
  • Your intake answers
  • The dashboard summary from the analysis
  • Todos, issues, next steps
  • GTM channels and funnel, metrics (last 60), OKRs
  • Notes and the content calendar
  • Every completed board report from the analysis

So "what should I do this week?" is answered against your actual todo list and metrics, not against a generic startup.

What they can't read

Documents you have marked sensitive are excluded from advisor context — deliberately, and enforced in the query rather than in the prompt. If you want an advisor to reason about a contract, copy the non-sensitive parts into a note.

Advisors also only ever see one venture. They cannot compare two of your ventures in a single conversation.

Fair use

Advisor messages are included in your plan rather than priced per message, with a monthly fair-use ceiling sized so ordinary use never reaches it. If you do hit it, the message says exactly which plan's ceiling you hit and what it is. See plans and limits.

Frequently asked

Am I really talking to Naval Ravikant?
No. Every persona is an AI advisor inspired by the public frameworks and style of the named figure. It does not represent them, implies no endorsement, and will not invent quotes from them.
Do advisor messages cost Treats?
No. Advisor chat is included in your plan, bounded by a monthly fair-use ceiling rather than metered per message.
