This reflects the first step behind my idea of co-founder-as-a-service. While working on a startup project in my entrepreneurship class at Cornell, I noticed several pain points: our team discussions were fragmented, creating surveys was tedious, and existing tools lacked the ability to incorporate internal context or tie back to our hypotheses. That experience led me to build Formalyze. It’s a tool powered by an intelligent agent that helps you evolve a raw idea into a structured survey rooted in your hypothesis. At every stage, AI and human input work together to advance the concept, building a connected knowledge map along the way.
