# Fonda

> Fonda is the AI co-founder for entrepreneurs. It helps founders find the right business idea, validate it with real market data, write a business plan, build a pitch deck, and launch a startup — all in one platform. Where ChatGPT gives generic advice, Fonda runs an integrated, founder-specific workflow from idea to launch.

Fonda is operated by Seedlane LLC. The product is web-based, aimed at first-time founders, career pivoters, and side hustlers. A free plan is available; paid plans (Core, Pro) unlock validated ideas, full business plans, validation websites, an investor finder, and a marketing toolkit.

## Core concepts

- **AI co-founder**: An always-on strategic partner that knows your business context, remembers past decisions, and pushes you forward — not a one-shot chatbot.
- **AI business idea generator**: Generates startup ideas matched to a founder's skills, budget, time, and goals — not generic listicles.
- **Startup planning**: Builds structured, multi-source business plans using 100+ data sources and cross-checked inputs, reconciled for consistency — distinct from one-shot AI outputs.
- **Idea validation**: Validates demand with surveys and validation websites before the founder builds.
