About

I've sat in boardrooms at EA Games and Corel Corporation, watched how collective strategic thinking shapes billion-dollar decisions. Then I became a founder myself 4 times-and felt the loneliness of making critical calls alone at 2 AM. That gap haunted me. So Ivaylo and I built VentureBoard-20 AI advisors who actually debate and disagree with each other about your strategy. Think of it as a board of directors in your pocket. Happy to chat about multi-agent AI, founder decision-making, or why the best insights come from disagreement.

  • 6-month implementation timelines

  • Mandatory training certifications

  • 200-page admin guides

  • A dedicated "CRM manager" role just to keep things running

They need to know: Who talked to which customer? What was said? What's the next step?

What s your #1 filter or shortcut?

You can vibe code a product in hours. You can't vibe code a strategy.

Seeing this pattern repeat with technical founders everywhere right now. Curious if it's just me or you're noticing it too:

AI tools made building insanely fast. A solo founder can ship a functional SaaS in a weekend. But the failure rate hasn't dropped -it's just that founders fail faster now. They build something technically solid, get to $2-3K MRR, and flatline. Not because the product is bad. Because the strategy never existed.

A founder I know had this exact problem. Clean codebase, good UX, reliable infrastructure. Six months in - barely any users, revenue stuck. He stopped building and spent a few weeks doing nothing but questioning his own assumptions. Three things changed everything:
