Why I Built StartFast

I’m Herman, the founder of StartFast.

After spending time in startup and entrepreneur communities, one question kept appearing over and over again:

“How do I know whether my business idea is actually viable?”

I became frustrated with how difficult startup validation and planning actually is in the real world. Not because information is unavailable — but because startup planning is deeply interconnected.

A change in pricing affects positioning.
Marketing affects projections.
Competitors affect strategy.
Assumptions affect everything.

As a founder, you constantly have to keep the entire business in your head while making decisions with incomplete information.

That mental load is exhausting.

That became the problem I wanted StartFast to help with.

What I Discovered

I initially believed modern AI tools would already solve startup planning properly. But I found that direct AI conversations were often:

Real startup research turned out to be far more structured and multi-stage than a simple chat conversation.

So I started building a system that approaches startup planning more like a guided research and planning process than a chatbot.
