Preneurs.ai

Context

Preneurs.ai is an AI co-pilot for founders at the fundraising stage — a space where the bottleneck is rarely writing a deck but rather getting specific, grounded feedback from someone who knows the category. DXWand brought me on as fractional CPO to take the concept from strategy through shipped MVP.

Research & discovery

Interviews with first-time and repeat founders converged on two gaps: matching (finding the right investors for the actual business) and feedback quality (getting pointed critique rather than validation). The product needed to produce output a founder would send to a partner, not output they’d have to rewrite.

Approach

The MVP paired a retrieval layer over investor metadata with a feedback layer that used founder-provided context to ground its critique. Everything was scoped to “decisions a founder makes this week,” not a full platform — the goal was tight loops on real pitch iterations.

Solution

Outcome

Shipped to paying founders at DXWand. Continued development under the DXWand product team after my engagement wrapped.
