Most of us founders won’t publicly admit it:<p>We’re very lonely and stressed.<p>I know from 20 years of building 4 companies (1 failure, 3 acquisitions).<p>We can’t be <i>truly</i> transparent with our team, board, investors, twitter, family or friends.<p>We want to, but can’t.<p>No matter what we’re thinking or feeling, we have to project strength.<p>During my entrepreneurial journey I longed for a group of always-available experts that met these criteria:<p>1. Experienced
2. Trustworthy
3. Kind yet extremely direct
4. Available and affordable<p>Obviously now with LLMs like gpt-4-1106-preview, we’re unlocking potential to solve this for founders.<p>As a step in that direction I’ve created a set of 6 GPTs that can act as your own private, confidential board:<p>CPO, CTO, CRO, CFO, Investor and Coach.<p>I’ve also open sourced the system prompts so you see how they work.<p>I’m hoping that this helps founders avoid some of the pitfalls and dark valleys I’ve encountered.<p>Notes:<p>* If you want greater privacy you could try running these prompts locally with something like Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1<p>* The GPTs are free but you need a ChatGPT Plus account ($20/mo)
