First Sales Hire Evaluation Description Format

This prompt generates a structured job description and an evaluation framework for founders or sales leaders hiring their first dedicated salesperson.

Technical Founder Cold Email Description Format

This prompt writes a first-touch cold email targeting technical founders at early-stage startups, using a specific signal — a Product Hunt launch, seed funding, or Hacker News post — as the email's opening hook. It is built for AEs, SDRs, BDRs, and founder-led sellers who sell to the startup ecosystem and need emails that read as relevant, not mass-blasted. Use it immediately after a triggering event, when the founder's attention is on growth and the problem you solve.

Rebuild an Investor Narrative for a SaaS Company

This prompt audits an existing investor pitch and rebuilds the narrative — covering a story audit, category framing, traction presentation, team positioning, risk mitigation narrative, comparable company selection, and a revised 3-paragraph company story with a 10-slide deck outline. It is for founders and sales directors preparing for a fundraise who need their narrative to be clearer, more compelling, and more defensible.

Surface Blind Spots and Decision Risks for a Founder

This prompt analyzes a SaaS founder's decision history and challenges through the lens of cognitive bias patterns, founder archetype risks, organizational blind spots, and strategic blind spots — and produces specific intervention recommendations to improve decision quality.

Use it during a strategic review, after a major setback, or when preparing for a high-stakes board or investor conversation.
