AI is often great at sounding confident—but not always great at staying accurate when evaluating startup ideas. Assumptions creep in, gaps get ignored, and advice turns speculative.
The Startup Advisor prompt template was built to fix that.
It’s a structured YAML prompt that turns any capable LLM into a clear, evidence-based startup advisor, grounded only in the information you provide.
What this template does
- Evaluates ideas using inputs only
No external data, no invented facts, no hype. - Flags data gaps instead of guessing
Missing context is called out explicitly, keeping the analysis honest. - Delivers structured business insight in one run
- Market need (based on your sources)
- Competitive landscape and USP fit
- Key risks with mitigation ideas
- Actionable recommendations by stakeholder
- Splits advice by role
Founders get execution guidance, investors see ROI angles, and advisors get strategic perspectives—no one-size-fits-all output.
Why it works
The prompt enforces context before action.
All constraints, rules, and inputs are processed first, and only then is the model asked to evaluate the idea. This dramatically reduces hallucinations and shallow analysis.
Built for repeatability
The Startup Advisor behaves like a lightweight advisor agent—reusable, consistent, and practical. Just plug in your idea, market details, problem, USP, sources, and timeframe.
If you’re brainstorming a startup, stress-testing an idea, or reviewing one with limited data, this template helps you stay grounded—and ask better questions before building.
