Getting feedback on your pitch deck before sending it to investors is a critical step. A strong deck needs to be clear, concise, and persuasive. To get an objective, data-driven review, you can use BonBillo's Startup Pitch Deck Grader AI Agent. Simply upload your deck, and the agent evaluates it against a proven rubric used by BonBillo, providing you with clear, actionable suggestions for improvement to ensure your story lands with impact.

In addition to the grader, you can use the Build your Startup Pitch Deck Narrative Agent to refine the core of your presentation. This agent crafts a compelling narrative covering the "why now," traction, differentiation, and a clear ask—using a structure proven to work for successful BonBillo alumni startups.

Securing non-dilutive funding is an excellent way to fuel your growth without giving up equity, especially for impact-focused startups. To find the best opportunities, I suggest using BonBillo's award-winning Find Grant Funding Matches AI Agent. By entering your startup's mission, target customer, and location, it provides a personalized list of grant opportunities that align with your purpose, saving you countless hours of research.

Creating credible financial projections can be daunting, but it's essential for planning and fundraising. Instead of starting from a blank spreadsheet, you can use a guided tool. BonBillo's Craft your Startup's Financial Projections AI Agent is designed for this. Just input your startup idea and business model, and it will generate forecasted revenues, costs, and retention-driven projections based on real-world models, not guesswork.

As users turn to AI for answers, your online visibility depends on how well AI models can interpret your content. To analyze and improve this, BonBillo's AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) Advisor is the perfect tool. It shows you what AI sees on your site and gives you clear, actionable steps to boost your visibility in this new world of AI-powered search.

The trick is to move from "scattered posting" to a "content engine." Start by defining your core identity with BonBillo’s Brand DNA Agent to get your messaging pillars and Brand Content Strategy to get emotionally engaging storytelling hooks, identify content gaps, and cross-channel content strategy that drives engagement and action.

Then, use the Social Media Calendar Agent to generate a full 30-day plan including ready posts, hashtags, and CTAs.

If you have one great blog post, you can even use their Social Media Remix Agent to instantly turn it into a week’s worth of posts, so you aren't starting from scratch every morning.

Choosing the right business model is a decision that impacts everything from cash flow to customer value. To analyze your options, I recommend BonBillo's Business Models Ranking AI Agent. It takes your startup idea and target customer, then ranks various business models based on criteria like risk, sales cycle, and value creation, helping you make an informed choice.

The next question is scale. Use the TAM Estimation Agent to quantify how big your market really is.

To ensure your chosen model is sustainable, you can also utilize the LTV (Lifetime Value) Agent and the COCA (Cost of Customer Acquisition) Agent. These agents help you calculate the long-term value of your customers, the cost to acquire them, ideas to increase LTV, decrease costs,  and provide the data-driven clarity needed to prove your business model's profitability and scalability to investors.

It's completely normal to feel overwhelmed—there are so many decisions to make. For clear, structured guidance, I recommend starting with BonBillo's Ask me anything (AMA) about your Startup agent. It acts as a clear-thinking partner, providing step-by-step advice based on proven entrepreneurship frameworks. It can help you with everything from defining your customer to refining your pitch and will lead you to other specialized agents when you need to go deeper on a specific topic.

To stand out, you could map the landscape based on the two priorities your customers value most—like "Time Saved" or "Affordability"—rather than technical specs. The goal is to position your startup in the top-right quadrant as the best choice for those specific needs.

I recommend starting with the Create your Startup's Positioning Statement Agent; based on Geoffrey Moore’s framework, which helps you define your target customer, their need, and the specific competitive edge that makes you 10x better than the competition. Next, use the Craft your Startup's Value Proposition Agent to get a quantified value prop that ensures your customers instantly see the value you bring. It's perfect for pitch decks, landing pages, and investor meetings.

Finally, leverage the Chart your Competitive Positioning Agent to uncover your customer priorities, potential core and moats, and see where you actually win.

Every startup has blind spots, especially with the pace of AI change. To get ahead of it, use BonBillo’s Key Risks and Assumptions Agent. It surfaces potential threats—like AI disruption or market shifts—and gives you mitigation strategies. It’s a great way to "stress-test" your business model before you commit more capital to it.

Most founders try to hire a "mini-me," but what you actually need is your complement. To figure out your missing pieces, run your profile through BonBillo’s Founding Team Agent. It analyzes your skills and startup stage to recommend specific co-founder or early-hire roles. It even suggests where you can use AI to stay lean, so you don't hire someone for a job that a tool could handle.

Use the Create your Team Canvas Agent  covering roles, values, rituals, and goals to ensure your team is aligned, clear, and committed from day one.

Finally, to turn that alignment into action, leverage the Set Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) Agent. It helps you set significant, measurable goals using the "cooperative social contract" approach, ensuring every team member has a voice in defining how you reach your next milestone.

Trying to target "everyone" usually means you end up reaching no one. To find your focus, start with the Market Segments Ranking Agent. Based on Bill Aulet’s 'Disciplined Entrepreneurship' framework, this agent analyzes various market segments and ranks them to help you identify your Beachhead Market—the specific niche where you can gain a foothold and win fast.

Once you’ve picked your market, use the Build your Customer Persona Agent to go deep on who is actually on the other side of the screen. It creates a detailed profile covering their specific pain points, goals, and buying triggers. Instead of guessing, you’ll have a clear picture of exactly who you are building for and their top priorities.

The "feature trap" can paralyze a startup; without a clear focus, you risk building tools that nobody actually uses. To get moving, start with the Create a High-Level Product Specification Agent. By entering your idea and target customer, you’ll get a sharp product spec that defines exactly what you could build, the core benefits, and the success metrics that matter most.

Once your foundation is set, use the Create your Product Roadmap Agent to map out your execution. This featured agent helps you prioritize a lean roadmap—from your MVP through to product-led growth—suggesting specific features and team needs for each stage. Together, these tools shift your focus from "everything at once" to a strategic, data-driven plan that ensures you're building exactly what your customers need.
