How an AI Cofounder Helped Fluent Frame Validate Their Startup Idea at 18
Aug 28 • 2 min read
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.
