Our Mission
Democratize business intelligence by making professional-grade market analysis, investment readiness scoring, and strategic planning accessible to every entrepreneur.
Our Vision
Become a trusted readiness workflow for founders and accelerator programs, with transparent evidence behind every score and recommendation.
From Charlotte's Ecosystem to Global Vision
Through Innovate Charlotte's Customer Discovery Lab, we discovered something surprising: founders can complete a business plan and still lack a clear, reviewable way to know whether the evidence supports the story. The pain is not just document creation; it is uncertainty about what to test next.
That discovery shaped the product. CanvasClaude is not positioned around an unsupported time-savings claim; it is designed to give founders a structured assessment, visible evidence gaps, and a prioritized test plan before an investor conversation.
In an early pilot-interest question, 3 of 3 founders expressed interest. That is encouraging but not proof of demand. We are now testing paid conversion, retention, and accelerator partnerships, starting in Charlotte.
