How an AI Cofounder Helped Fluent Frame Validate Their Startup Idea at 18
At 18, the PodClips(Fluent Frame) team used IVA (Icanpreneur’s AI cofounder) to turn a raw idea into a validated plan through Lean Canvas, 50+ interviews, and clear MVP direction.
Starting a company is never easy - especially when you’re just 18. My team and I at Fluent Frame set out to solve a problem we knew all too well: podcasters wasting hours just to get an episode live.
We didn’t have a detailed business plan or a roadmap. What we had was a clear pain point—and the courage to take the first step.
That’s when we turned to IVA, the AI cofounder inside Icanpreneur.
With IVA, we were able to:
- Turn our idea into a Lean Canvas in seconds
- Validate assumptions through 50+ customer interviews
- Surface hidden insights about our real early adopters
- Gain clarity and direction for our MVP
Instead of guessing, we followed a clear, evidence-based process.
The result? We avoided building for the wrong audience - and discovered the confidence to keep moving forward.
