We help founders know before they go.

MikeandSimon.AI is a business readiness platform built for aspiring entrepreneurs, early-stage founders, and small business owners who want an honest, data-driven assessment of their venture before they invest time and money. Whether you have a rough idea scribbled on a napkin or a business that is already generating revenue, our AI-powered assessment engine evaluates your idea across market opportunity, financial readiness, legal compliance, and operational execution — then gives you a clear score and verdict so you know exactly where you stand.

Our platform goes beyond a simple score. You get a detailed breakdown of your strengths and risks, an estimate of your addressable market, a curated list of legal requirements specific to your state, a financial forecast with burn rate and break-even analysis, and a 30-day launch plan with actionable milestones. You can even upload financial documents for an AI-powered audit, and sync your launch plan tasks directly to Google Tasks. And when you need guidance, our AI consultants — Michael (strategy) and Simon (finance) — are available to answer your questions with advice grounded in real-world frameworks from firms like McKinsey, BCG, and Bain.

The platform is built by a small team of builders — Mike, Simon, and AJ — who have lived the highs and lows of starting businesses firsthand. We have seen too many founders pour their savings into ventures that were never viable, simply because they had no objective way to pressure-test their ideas. MikeandSimon.AI exists to change that: to give every founder, regardless of background or budget, access to the same caliber of strategic and financial analysis that a top consulting firm would charge thousands for. We believe everyone deserves to know before they go.
