FAQ

Are these real people or AI mentors?
These are AI mentors trained by successful food industry founders who have built, scaled, and sold businesses.
You'll be having conversations with AI that has been programmed with the collective wisdom and experience of real entrepreneurs, not interacting with human mentors directly.
Who trained the AI mentors and what's their background?
Our AI mentors were trained by food industry veterans who have successfully exited businesses, navigated regulatory challenges, and scaled operations.
Each mentor persona represents synthesized insights from founders with proven track records. Additionally, the models have been trained with a wide range of relevant data, from government agencies to well known data providers.
What types of questions can I ask the AI mentors?
Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit. Integer posuere erat a ante venenatis dapibus posuere velit aliquet. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus. Aenean lacinia bibendum nulla sed consectetur.
How is this different from hiring a human mentor?
AI mentors offer 24/7 availability, consistent advice quality, access to multiple founder perspectives simultaneously, and significantly lower cost. You can ask questions without judgment, iterate quickly on ideas, and get immediate responses instead of waiting for scheduled calls.
Can I trust the advice if it's coming from AI?
Our AI mentors are trained on real founder experiences and proven strategies as well as expertly curated data. However, they should supplement, not replace, human judgment for major business decisions.
We recommend using AI mentors for guidance, best practices, and brainstorming, while consulting human experts for critical legal or financial decisions.
What are the limitations of AI mentors?
AI mentors cannot replace human experience in relationship building, reading cultural nuances, handling crisis situations requiring emotional intelligence, or providing advice on rapidly changing regulations. They work best for strategic guidance, operational questions, and accessing proven frameworks.
How much does it cost compared to human mentoring?
Our pricing starts at $99/month for basic access, significantly less than typical human mentor rates of $200-500+ per session. You get unlimited conversations rather than paying per hour or session.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes, your conversations are private and confidential.
Unlike human mentor networks where information might inadvertently spread, AI mentors don't have personal relationships or industry connections that could compromise confidentiality.
What if I'm just starting out vs. already scaling?
Our AI mentors are trained on experiences across all business stages - from initial ideation through scaling and exit. The advice adapts to your current stage, whether you're validating an idea, seeking funding, or optimizing operations.

How It Works

How our CPG Agentic AI system works

Industry Expertise

Our founding team combines deep expertise across AI, CPG, technology, and marketing, with a proven track record of building, scaling, and exiting successful companies. We’ve led high-performing teams inside major tech platforms, built and sold marketing agencies, launched top-performing CPG brands, and founded AI startups from zero to scale.

Collectively, we bring decades of operational and technical experience, alongside a strong track record in capital raising, talent acquisition, and go-to-market execution. We know what it takes to build fast, hire well, and deliver real results.

Proprietary Datasets

Our agents are powered by a proprietary commercial dataset purpose-built for CPG decision-making. This includes structured and relational data on distributors, 3PLs, pricing benchmarks, velocity estimates, retailer and buyer contacts, marketing spend patterns, and more.

These datasets are stored in both Vector and Graph Databases, enabling semantic search, relationship mapping, and real-time reasoning by our AI agents. This gives our system a significant edge: agents don’t just query data—they understand who to contact, what to charge, and where to launch, based on live business context.

Multi-Modal Agentic AI

We use a multi-modal, agentic AI architecture that enables voice, chat, and task-based agents to collaborate across multiple layers of decision-making. At the top level, natural language agents interface with users and dynamically access proprietary datasets and in-house analytics.

Under the hood, we orchestrate agent workflows using LangGraph, leverage ReAct and MemGPT for real-time reasoning and memory, and store context-rich knowledge using Vector and Graph Databases.

This stack allows our agents not only to respond—but to plan, adapt, and act autonomously across sales, operations, marketing, and finance workflows.
