Starcycle’s AI planner is the easiest way to plan your business. Answer a few simple questions, and we’ll get you started on everything you need to know to get your next big thing off the ground – 100% personalized for you, 100% AI generated.
🧠 Imagine: an AI COO that can proactively draft job postings based on seasonal staffing trends; an AI CMO that can create your next paid social campaign based on current inventory and next quarter's revenue targets; or an AI CFO that can predict next quarter's inventory needs based on last year's sales data and current TikTok trends.
🤔 We all know the benefits of having a co-founding team and how startup founders can boost each other with complementary skills. But what happens when you’re a small business owner?
🤯 95% of companies around the world are small and medium businesses (SMBs). Out of them, 77% are owned and operated by one person, who spend up to 25% of their working hours simply taking care of things that don’t contribute to what they call their core business (eg. admin, inventory management, marketing – anything that doesn’t immediately generate revenue).
💡 It’s time we gave these business owners the resources they need to succeed, at scale.
💫 We’re radically redefining what it means to be an entrepreneur with Starcycle, and we’re starting with something that every SMB owner is familiar with: the business plan. Right now we're focused on getting the plan as useful as possible; a full editing suite and other co-founder capabilities are coming soon.
📈 As Starcycle grows and evolves, the business plan will remain at the core – as the founder’s second brain, as the center that your AI co-founding team will draw from.
I’m really excited to share this with the ProductHunt community and I hope you’ll get the chance to try Starcycle. Perhaps it’s time to give that idea dump on your GDrive (I know we all have one) another look and see which one you want to breathe some life into. You’ll be in good company, literally – over 450 SMB owners have gotten a head start already on Starcycle. See you in our public beta!

This artificial intelligence considers the dos and don'ts and makes the best program for you
This is awesome and I suggest you explore it :)
@usefpoor we try our absolute best to have Starcycle offer different points of view that you otherwise wouldn't have necessarily considered, just like how a good business partner would do for you! Thank you for exploring this whole new world with us 🫡

💡 Bright idea
Congrats on your launch!
I'd love to hear a bit about your team size, and typical customers?
Random thought/feedback - It would be CRAZY if this whole launch was orchestrated by Starcycle...👀
Additional feedback - I ask for typical customers since I wasn't sure if I should use this tool after browsing the landing page, maybe adding case studies or current users to the page could help?
Love the brand name btw, seems like established/big brand vibes already :)
@esus thank you for stopping by our launch!
Super small team right now; who you see listed as makers is where we're at!
So far we're optimizing for small and medium businesses in their early stages — that represents roughly 60% of our beta user base so far. We haven't added specific case studies yet since we've been studying a lot of user journeys that come through, but we plan to start making target audiences clearer over time.
We may have had some help from Starcycle to do this 😉
Really appreciate your lovely comment! The name came super serendipitously but I feel like the best things always do.
Stoked to see Starcycle live! Been following it for a bit and can attest to Jaclyn's drive and commitment to bringing something truly unique to market. A lot of great things to come, I am sure!
@venetiglio thank you for being such an early supporter and cheerleader of Starcycle 🥳 so grateful for you and all of your insights and feedback!
(Pssst... to anyone who's also reading this comment, you're going to want Felipe in your corner for whatever it is that you're building. You heard it here first.)
Hey ProductHunt, excited to be here as we develop Starcycle. We’ve always been keen on finding ways to empower business owners and entrepreneurs, and our initial ambitions of building virtual co-founders with AI is slowly becoming reality. With the business plan as our first feature we hope to lay the best foundation possible for the future AI C-suite. Every single comment, feedback, and experience has directly shaped our product and development, and I hope we see many of you get started with Starcycle too!

Kudos on launching Starcycle!
Given the potential to revolutionize how SMB owners manage and scale their businesses, what's the roadmap for integrating Starcycle with other common business tools SMBs might be using?
@parul0_0 great minds think alike! That's our next phase of development where we will allow folks to start importing context/data from other software that they may already be using, or even just good ol' Excel sheets or WhatsApp conversations. We'll for sure be announcing again on Product Hunt when we go live with our first integrations. Thank you for stopping by our first launch 😊
