AI prompts for startup founders

In short: Prompts for decks, pricing, research and the context your AI needs about your company. Pick one of the 9 prompts below, fill in the [PLACEHOLDERS] with your own facts, and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok. Each prompt page says when to use it and what to fill in.

Founders wear every hat, so a few well-made prompts save the most time where the work is least familiar: a deck for a senior audience, a pricing structure, a market scan. Start with the context block, paste it at the top of any prompt, and your AI will stop asking basic questions about your company.

Questions people ask

Where should a founder start?

With the founder context block. Fill it in once, keep it somewhere handy and paste it above any other prompt.

Can AI help with pricing?

It can structure the options, list trade-offs and check the logic. It cannot know your costs or your customers, so use your real numbers and treat its output as a way to think, not an answer.

Are these prompts free?

Yes. ChatJudge is free to use and supported by sponsors and affiliate links that are always labelled.

How were these prompts chosen?
