Tell us about your business
A 12–15 minute questionnaire. Rough answers are fine — we research the rest.
We research your market
Market size, local demographics, competitors and their published prices, industry benchmarks — every source cited.
We build and review
AI drafts the strategy; a calculator does every number; a person checks the sources and edits every section.

Segments scored and ranked, plus a detailed profile of your ideal customer.
Why customers should choose you, and a price architecture benchmarked against the market.

30-, 60- and 90-day priorities, milestones and measurable targets.
What could go wrong, the KPIs to watch, and the numbers that should change your plan.

A 31-page strategy for a fictional founder launching mobile dog grooming — built on real research with 17 cited sources. It found her planned differentiation was already taken locally, her prices were too low, and her van budget only worked for a used vehicle.

Questions, answered
What is the private beta?
We're offering free reports to a small group of friends and early users while we refine the service. The report is the full product — same research, same review. All we ask is honest feedback (a 10-minute form) once you've read it.
Is this written by AI?
Partly, and we're upfront about it. AI helps research your market and draft the strategy. A calculator — not the AI — produces every number. Then a person checks the sources, challenges the assumptions and edits every section before it's sent.
Who is LaunchPath for?
Founders and small business owners — from "just an idea" to "growing and deciding what's next". It works for local services, online services, products, digital products and software.
Do you forecast my revenue?
Yes — as scenarios, not promises. We build conservative, base and upside cases from your numbers and researched benchmarks, show every calculation, and show which assumptions move the result most. You'll know exactly what has to be true for each scenario.
Is this a business plan for a bank or investors?
It's a go-to-market strategy: where to compete, how to win and what it's worth. It covers much of what lenders and investors ask about — market size, competition, forecast — but it isn't a formatted lender business plan.
How long does it take?
The questionnaire takes 12–15 minutes. Your report arrives by email within 5 business days.
What if my idea is very early?
That's fine — the strategy will tell you whether the opportunity looks worth pursuing and how to test it cheaply before you spend real money.
What do you do with my idea and information?
We use it only to create your report and support you. We don't sell it or publish it. Your answers are processed by our AI provider to research and draft the report. See our privacy policy.
Is this legal, tax or financial advice?
No. Reports are strategic planning guidance. Where your strategy touches licences, regulations or taxes, it tells you what to check and with whom.
Are there businesses you won't work on?
We don't create strategies for illegal or harmful activities, or businesses that would require us to give regulated professional advice.
