Business Planning

The Business Planning skill helps you move from a validated idea to a structured plan. It covers business model design, financial modeling, and strategic roadmap creation.

Business Model Design

The Startup Coach helps you develop a comprehensive business model:

• Revenue model — Subscription, transaction-based, freemium, marketplace, or hybrid
• Pricing strategy — Market-based, value-based, or cost-plus approaches
• Unit economics — Customer acquisition cost (CAC), lifetime value (LTV), margins
• Go-to-market channels — Direct sales, partnerships, content marketing, paid acquisition

Financial Projections

Create investor-ready financial models with the coach's guidance:

• Revenue forecasts — Monthly and annual projections based on your growth assumptions
• Cost structure — Fixed and variable costs, hiring plans, infrastructure costs
• Cash flow analysis — When you need funding, runway calculations
• Break-even analysis — When the business becomes profitable

The coach can generate financial spreadsheets that you can export and refine.

Strategic Roadmap

Plan your startup's development phases:

• Phase 1: MVP — What to build first and what to leave out
• Phase 2: Product-Market Fit — Key milestones and metrics to track
• Phase 3: Scale — When and how to grow the team, product, and market
• Phase 4: Expansion — New markets, products, or business lines

Getting Started

Ask the Startup Coach:

• "Help me create a business plan for my startup"
• "Build financial projections for the next 3 years"
• "What pricing model should I use for a B2B SaaS?"
• "Create a product roadmap for my MVP"
