AI as Your Business Support: What to Know When Using AI to Build a Software Business

Mentor Clinic Overview

AI makes it easy to generate a business idea. It doesn't make it a validated one. This one-to-one clinic is for founders who've used AI to shape a software business idea and now need to stress-test it before spending time or money building it. Too many founders can mistake an AI-generated pitch or landing page for real market validation. This session cuts through that — working with each founder to test whether the basics actually stand up:

• Validation — where the idea came from, what problem it solves, for whom, and why it beats what exists — with proof, not AI-generated claims
• Target customer — who the real customer is, and what's actually known about that market
• Product — what it does, how AI/tech genuinely adds value, and whether there's a demo or spec
• Business model & revenue — real pricing, sales approach, and how it actually makes money
• Marketing — what channels will work, and whether the message is clear
• Outcome: the founder leaves either with an idea that holds up and next steps, or clarity on what still needs work before they build anything.

* Upon booking, a LEO Clare representative will contact you to allocate a time slot for your appointment.
