We’re very lonely and stressed.

I know from 20 years of building 4 companies (1 failure, 3 acquisitions).

We can’t be truly transparent with our team, board, investors, twitter, family or friends.

We want to, but can’t.

No matter what we’re thinking or feeling, we have to project strength.

During my entrepreneurial journey I longed for a group of always-available experts that met these criteria:

1. Experienced 2. Trustworthy 3. Kind yet extremely direct 4. Available and affordable

Obviously now with LLMs like gpt-4-1106-preview, we’re unlocking potential to solve this for founders.

As a step in that direction I’ve created a set of 6 GPTs that can act as your own private, confidential board:

CPO, CTO, CRO, CFO, Investor and Coach.

I’ve also open sourced the system prompts so you see how they work.

I’m hoping that this helps founders avoid some of the pitfalls and dark valleys I’ve encountered.

Notes:

* If you want greater privacy you could try running these prompts locally with something like Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1

* The GPTs are free but you need a ChatGPT Plus account ($20/mo)
