Readme
I needed a space to help me kickstart my research for a startup idea I’ve been putting off. The purpose of the document is to help other early stage founders, with this same problem, make progress faster.
AI summary blocks will attempt to summarize parts of the idea including market analysis, elevator pitch as well as other key insights where included.
Start putting down startup and business ideas faster.
When it comes to locating the resources you have found from online sources to local files, you can collect them in the notes and resource page.
the AI blocks have pre-written prompts focused on evaluating ideas from your notes and other pages. It really ties the whole thing together so you don’t have to look back through several clicks to conceptualize the document.
Keep your resources and related content in rightful pages and workspaces. It’s much easier to focus on interconnected items at a go.
While it is hard to anticipate whether this will make the startup evaluation process more fun, it is intended help users to avoid the more tedious process of organizing their workspaces for their ideas. This template aims to steer startup founders, entrepreneurs and professionals to work that is more rewarding, bringing their ideas closer to reality.
🧰 The product development tools provide users with access to tech, design, business, and finance resources to create their startup.
🔍 The tool shelf contains a variety of software, hardware, books, videos, and websites to help users evaluate their startup idea, optimize their budget, and differentiate themselves from competitors.
💼 The combination of these resources helps users accomplish the goals of the Startup Lab document, which includes evaluating startup ideas, generating excitement, growing the business, targeting various customer segments, and tracking key metrics.
I want people to customise the template to their specific startup ideas. I believe people from all backgrounds including: startup founders, private employees and individuals interested in entrepreneurship can benefit from using this template to conduct research.
This template was inspired by my use of other workspace productivity tools and my experience developing startup ideas for hackathons.

It involves some technical skills that I need to research and learn, so I came up with this idea to build a startup idea valuation workspace with coda, leveraging it’s AI blocks and columns.
