The AI Prompt Guide for 1st time founders
Get from idea to launch in weeks with AI-powered prompts designed for first-time founders.
Hey First-Time Founders (and fellow procrastinators),
If you’re in the early stages of building your startup, I know how overwhelming it can be to validate your ideas, get an MVP built, and actually ship it. Time slips by, things get in the way, and before you know it, that great idea is still sitting in your head.
That’s why I created a course called “How to launch your first Startup“, part of this course is an AI Prompt Guide which I just refreshed
It’s a 12-page AI Prompt Guide—to help you stop procrastinating and start getting things done faster.
Over the past year, I’ve been using AI prompts to help me streamline everything from idea validation to launching my MVPs, and it’s been a game changer. I realized other first-time founders might benefit from this approach too, so I compiled all of my most helpful prompts, frameworks, and examples into one easy-to-follow guide.
Here’s what you’ll get, and how it can help you:

Who This Guide is For
First-time founders who need structure and focus to turn ideas into reality.
Procrastinators who have been putting off launching because they don’t know where to start.
Entrepreneurs who want to validate their ideas before investing too much time or money.
Anyone looking to move quickly and avoid overthinking their product development.
1. AI Prompts for Validation
I know how easy it is to fall in love with your idea, but the reality is you need to make sure it’s something people actually want. In this guide, I’ve included a set of AI prompts that will help you quickly figure out whether your startup is solving a real pain point or just a “nice-to-have.”
The best part? You can get that validation in under 2 weeks with these prompts, which push you to ask the right questions and focus on actionable insights from your target audience.
2. Customer Survey Templates
Talking to potential customers can be nerve-wracking, especially if you’re not sure how to frame your questions. Using the prompts from The Mom Test methodology, I’ve designed customer survey templates that help you extract real, actionable feedback without leading your respondents into telling you what you want to hear.
These templates will help you get inside your customers’ heads, find out what’s frustrating them, and see if your solution can genuinely help. It’s all about figuring out if your product has market demand before you go all-in.
3. MVP Building Framework
One of the biggest reasons first-time founders stall is trying to perfect their product before launch. I’ve been there too. That’s why I’ve created a simple, step-by-step framework to help you build and launch an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) quickly.
This framework focuses on doing the least amount of work necessary to get a working product in front of users. You’ll learn how to prioritize features, use no-code tools, and get your MVP into the hands of your first users without wasting time on things that don’t matter at this stage.
4. Competitor Analysis Prompts
Even if you have a great idea, it’s crucial to understand the landscape. This guide includes AI prompts to help you identify both direct and indirect competitors in your market. These prompts will lead you through analyzing what your competitors are doing well, where they’re falling short, and where your product can stand out.
The goal is to help you position your product effectively so that you can carve out your niche in a crowded market.
5. Growth Ideas
Finally, the guide includes creative, cost-effective ways to attract your first 10 customers. These are ideas that don’t require a big marketing budget or huge time investment—just smart, scrappy tactics that can get you traction early on.
From referral programs to partnering with influencers or hosting community events, these growth ideas are designed to get you the visibility you need to start building your user base without breaking the bank.
Why I Made This Guide I know what it’s like to be a first-time founder, stuck in the cycle of overthinking and overbuilding. It’s easy to lose momentum. I made this guide to help people like you and me move faster and avoid the common traps that slow down so many startups.
By using AI to guide the process, I’ve been able to save hours of time and energy. This guide is for first-time founders who want to get things done—not just dream about it, but actually ship a product in a matter of weeks.
