At PlanFoundry, we believe a great business plan is more than just a formality. It's a critical step that brings clarity, sharpens thinking, and sets the foundation for everything that follows. Our team originally built PlanFoundry inside a venture studio where the challenge was clear: building solid business plans takes time, and most AI tools weren't designed to meet the high bar required for investor-ready work.
We created PlanFoundry to solve that.
PlanFoundry is an AI-powered platform built specifically to help startup teams and venture studios produce high-quality business plans faster, without losing depth or nuance. It doesn't churn out generic content. Instead, it walks users through each section of a business plan with structured prompts, expert guidance, and a deep understanding of what real investors look for.
Our venture studio process brings together talented local college interns and experienced studio staff to co-develop these plans. Once complete, each plan is reviewed by our Investment Advisory Board, which includes retired executives and successful entrepreneurs. This approach allows us to surface strong ideas quickly and focus on the ones most likely to succeed.
Demand for the tool grew quickly, especially in our local ecosystem. So we took the next step and turned PlanFoundry into a standalone product. What began as an internal tool is now helping others who face the same challenge we did—getting from idea to investor-ready plan without weeks of frustration.
Today, PlanFoundry is used by founders, universities, and venture teams who want to move faster and build better. It combines the speed of AI with the standards of experienced operators, helping users stay focused on what really matters: building companies that work.
Less time stuck in documents. More time building something that matters.
