How can we help?

Fonda is an AI co-founder for entrepreneurs. It guides you through a proven 14-step journey — Discover, Validate, Launch, Scale — so you always know the next step to take, from picking the right idea to landing your first paying customer.

No. Fonda was designed for first-timers. We assume zero prior business knowledge. The platform explains every concept, flags common mistakes, and gives you plain-English next steps at every stage.

Create a free account at app.fonda.co. You can also try any of our eight free tools at fonda.co/tools before signing up — no account or credit card required.

Five hours a week is enough to make real progress with Fonda's structured journey. Most founders fit meaningful sessions into evenings and weekends without quitting their day job.

No. Fonda works for any business — service businesses, product companies, content businesses, and SaaS. The validation and planning frameworks apply across industries.

Yes — all eight tools at fonda.co/tools are completely free. No account, no credit card, no hidden limits. They run in your browser and produce real AI-generated output instantly.

AI Idea Generator, Business Plan Generator, Startup Name Generator, TAM SAM SOM Calculator, Lean Canvas Generator, SWOT Analyzer, Elevator Pitch Generator, and Roast My Idea. Each targets a specific founder problem.

The Roast My Idea tool makes a live call to an AI model for each submission, which has a real cost. Free users get two roasts per day per IP address. Subscribers can run more roasts as part of the platform.

Some tools (like Lean Canvas) support PDF export. Others display results on-screen. Copying and pasting the output into your own documents is always fine.

The journey covers: Entrepreneur Profile, Idea Sourcing, Idea Shortlist, Deep Dive, Idea Verdict, Validation Plan, Validation Surveys, Validation Verdict, Business Plan, Website Draft, MVP Roadmap, Legal Checklist, Go-to-Market Strategy, and Pitch Deck. Each step builds on the last.

The Idea Verdict is Fonda's honest assessment of whether your specific idea is worth building, based on your validation results, market size, competition, and business model. It's included in the Core plan.

Investor Finder matches your startup to relevant venture funds and angel investors based on stage, sector, check size, and geography. It's available in the Pro plan.

Yes. Unlike a generic AI chat tool, Fonda stores your Entrepreneur Profile, idea history, validation data, and business plan so every future session has full context — you never start from scratch.

Yes. Many users are 6–12 months into a business and use Fonda to build the strategy, pitch deck, or GTM plan they haven't had time to write properly. Start the journey from whichever step applies to where you are.

Start is free. Core ($29 one-time) includes the full business plan, website draft, MVP roadmap, and Idea Verdict. Pro ($39 one-time) adds go-to-market strategy, pitch deck, investor finder, and analytics. Optional add-ons: Idea Pack ($19) and Verdict ($19).

Core and Pro are one-time payments — not subscriptions. You pay once and the outputs are yours to keep. There are no recurring charges unless you choose to purchase additional add-ons.

If you're not satisfied with your Core or Pro output, email hello@fonda.co within 7 days of purchase. We review each request individually and process refunds where the output clearly failed to deliver.

We accept all major credit and debit cards via Stripe. No PayPal or bank transfer at this time.

Fonda stores your account information, the ideas and business plans you create, and your validation results. We do not sell your data to third parties. See our full Privacy Policy at fonda.co/privacy.
