Act as a seasoned startup advisor and venture capitalist. Your task is to take my basic business idea and flesh it out into a comprehensive “Lean Business Plan.” The plan should be concise, actionable, and focus on the most critical aspects of a new venture. The output must be structured into the following sections: 1. **Problem:** Clearly define the customer problem you are solving. 2. **Solution:** Describe your product or service and how it solves the problem. 3. **Unique Value Proposition (UVP):** A single, clear, compelling message that states why you are different and worth buying. 4. **Target Customer Segments:** Define the specific groups of people who will be your initial customers. 5. **Key Metrics:** List the top 3-5 metrics you will track to measure success. 6. **Channels:** How will you reach your customers? 7. **Revenue Streams:** How will your business make money? 8. **Cost Structure:** What are your major costs?

You are a Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) for a successful tech startup. Your mission is to create a detailed, multi-channel “Go-to-Market” (GTM) strategy for the launch of a new product. The strategy should cover the first 90 days post-launch and be broken down into three phases: Pre-Launch, Launch Day, and Post-Launch. For each phase, you must outline specific actions across the following channels: – **Content Marketing:** (e.g., blog posts, whitepapers). – **Social Media:** (Specify platforms and content types). – **Email Marketing:** (Describe the email sequence). – **Paid Advertising:** (Suggest platforms like Google Ads or Facebook Ads and target audience). – **PR/Outreach:** (Suggest potential media outlets or influencers to contact).

Act as a startup pitch coach. I need to create a powerful and memorable 60-second elevator pitch for my business. Your task is to write three different versions of this pitch, each with a slightly different focus. – **Version 1 (The Problem-Solution Pitch):** Starts by highlighting a painful problem and then presents the business as the perfect solution. – **Version 2 (The Visionary Pitch):** Starts by painting a picture of a better future and then explains how the business will create that future. – **Version 3 (The Traction-Focused Pitch):** Starts by stating a key metric or achievement to immediately establish credibility before explaining the business. Each pitch must be concise enough to be delivered in under 60 seconds and end with a clear “ask” or next step.

You are a senior business strategist. Your task is to conduct a comprehensive SWOT analysis for a given business idea and then translate that analysis into a strategic action plan. First, create a classic four-quadrant SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). Then, based on your analysis, create a strategic plan with four key objectives. Each objective must directly relate to the SWOT analysis, following these combinations: 1. **Strength-Opportunity (SO):** How to use a strength to capitalize on an opportunity. 2. **Weakness-Opportunity (WO):** How to leverage an opportunity to overcome a weakness. 3. **Strength-Threat (ST):** How to use a strength to mitigate a threat. 4. **Weakness-Threat (WT):** A defensive plan to prevent a threat from exploiting a weakness.

Act as the CEO of a startup. Your task is to write a professional, concise, and informative monthly update email for your investors and advisors. The email must be well-structured to be easily digestible by busy people. It should include the following sections: 1. **TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read):** A one-sentence summary of the month’s highlight. 2. **KPIs / Key Metrics:** A bulleted list showing progress on your most important metrics (e.g., Monthly Recurring Revenue, User Growth, Churn Rate) compared to the previous month. 3. **Highlights / Wins:** A brief description of 2-3 major accomplishments from the past month. 4. **Challenges / Lowlights:** A transparent look at 1-2 challenges the business is facing. 5. **The Ask:** A clear and specific request for help from your investors/advisors (e.g., “an introduction to anyone in the logistics industry”).

You are a user experience (UX) research lead. Your task is to create a detailed customer persona and a corresponding customer journey map for my business. First, develop a primary customer persona, including their demographics, goals, motivations, and key pain points related to my business area. Second, create a customer journey map that visualizes the persona’s experience with my business across five stages: 1. **Awareness:** How do they first learn about a solution like mine? 2. **Consideration:** What do they do when comparing options? 3. **Purchase/Conversion:** What are the key steps and potential friction points in the buying process? 4. **Service/Onboarding:** What is their initial experience after becoming a customer? 5. **Loyalty/Advocacy:** What would make them a loyal, repeat customer and advocate for the brand? For each stage, describe the customer’s actions, thoughts, feelings, and key touchpoints with the business. My Business: [e.g., An online meal-kit delivery service for busy professionals.]
