Helping Entrepreneurs Launch Faster with AI-Powered Roadmaps

Hey fellow creators, I m Ryan. I grew up in a family business, so entrepreneurship and creating have always been second nature for me. Over the years, I ve worked with numerous startups and nonprofits, produced podcasts, launched multiple physical and digital products (including a patented self-defense keychain), and successfully crowdfunded a hardware/software product with over $250K raised.

Now, I m building something I wish I d had at the start of my journey: a dynamic, AI-generated roadmap for entrepreneurs.

It takes your idea from concept to launch step-by-step, keeping you focused, motivated, and moving forward until your business is real and ready.

Always love connecting with fellow creators, sharing ideas, and learning from the incredible community here.

How Building Countless Products Changed My Perspective

Hey everyone, I m Craig.
I have spent many years building products after products. Some were functional and polished others were half-finished experiments that never saw the light of day. Each one taught me something different, from how to move faster to how to simplify ideas and how to spot when to keep going or when to cut my losses.

I never set out to collect unfinished projects but over time I realized those builds gave me the experience and instincts I rely on now. Every failed attempt sharpened the next one and showed me what matters most when creating something from scratch.

I am still building learning and testing. The process itself has become just as valuable as the outcomes.

✅ POLL: Do you buy the domain first or build the product first?

Let s settle this once and for all.
