For the Next Stage startup program, AIO has been asked to use AI in an innovative way to support startups in creating "viable" business plans and Go-To-Market strategies. We have devised a Virtual Lean Startup Business Coach for this purpose. This virtual AI team, consisting of experts such as Alexander Osterwalder, Steve Blank and Byron Sharp, provides targeted guidance through structured frameworks such as BMC and Value Proposition Canvas.

The primary goal of this project was to empower startups to independently develop strategic business models and Go-To-Market plans that can also serve as input for investor presentations.

Agent method:

The Virtual Lean Startup Business Coach guided users through a series of structured steps, from defining their business model to deeply validating their customer segments. This included developing Ideal Customer Profiles, conducting customer validation interviews, and applying the AAARRR funnel to optimize marketing strategies.

>> Efficient Business Model Development:
Startups were able to create complete business models within a few sessions.


>> Improved Market Insights:
Through targeted market research and customer interviews, startups gain in-depth insight into their customer needs and market opportunities.


>> Investor-Ready Pitch Decks:
The startups produced pitch decks that were not only persuasive but also backed by thorough research and clear strategies.

The initial assignment was to offer business coaching and an introduction to AI. However, AIO proposed to create a Lean Startup Agent that the participants still use today. And also available for future participants! The teams were so enthusiastic after the workshop that, on behalf of Next Stage, we have requested AIO to provide the startups with additional AI support. This emphasizes the success and impact of Generative AI.
