The document introduces SpatzAI, a startup that aims to reduce startup failure rates caused by founder conflicts. It proposes using an AI toolkit and founder review network to help teams address disputes in real-time or escalate unresolved issues. This will generate predictive data on team success rates to help investors. The initial focus is providing free tools to accelerator teams to collect data and study effects, with plans for a $49/team/batch SaaS model charging accelerators. The founding team currently consists of Desmond Sherlock as the experienced entrepreneur, with openings for a psychologist and AI/ML scientist.

Welcome to…
Our absurdly simple way to fix founder conflict

2. “65% of startup teams
fail due to
founder conflict”
Harvard Professor, Noam Wasserman
THE FOUNDER’S DILEMMAS
OUR VISION
To radically increase a startup team’s decision-making skills,
and reduce the catastrophic failure rates.

3. OUR MISSION
To create a toolkit that empowers
startup teams to fix founder conflict
and collating the data to enable
investors to predict the probability
of future successes.

4. When founders disagree uncivil behavior
from one team member will occur, on
occasion. With little or no recourse to
address this misconduct (no backup),
team members may react and the result
is conflict. Unresolved, this conflict can
fester causing a loss of team cohesion,
resulting in poor decision-making, and
the ultimate failure of the startup.
NINE OUT OF TEN
startups are failing!

PROBLEM

5. OUR SOLUTION
SPAT DISPUTE CONFLICT
Fix founder conflict, using the SpatzAI toolkit as backup to address misconduct directly:
- Use the SpatzAI agreed intervention to verbally object to poor behavior in real-time.
- If contested or ignored, use the SpatzAI 3-Step App to address our spats or disputes.
- For any unresolved conflict we post on the SpatzAI & Founder Review Network.

6. Using the Spatz app we can build the data from the resolved and unresolved
results of team spats, disputes and conflict, to learn from and help investors
predict the probability of a team’s success.
