- Limited customization options
- Add investor matching based on generated materials
- Include real market data validation
- Create community for founder feedback
- Add success tracking for funded startups

- Market may prefer human consultants despite higher cost
- Easy to copy - minimal technical moat
- Regulatory risk if giving financial advice without licenses
