Starting a company is never easy - especially when you’re just 18. The team behind Fluent Frame set out to solve a problem they knew all too well: podcasters wasting hours just to get an episode live.

They didn’t have a detailed business plan or a roadmap. What they had was a clear pain point - and the courage to take the first step.

That’s when they turned to IVA, the AI cofounder inside Icanpreneur.

With IVA, the Fluent Frame team was able to:

  • Turn their idea into a Lean Canvas in seconds
  • Validate assumptions through 50+ customer interviews
  • Surface hidden insights about their real early adopters
  • Gain clarity and direction for their MVP

Instead of guessing, they followed a clear, evidence-based process.

The result? They avoided building for the wrong audience — and discovered the confidence to keep moving forward.
