For Startup Founders

For startup founders who move fast and document last.

BoardSnap is an iOS app that turns a whiteboard photo into a structured summary and action plan in ten seconds. Built for the pace founders move at — sketch the idea, snap the board, get the action plan, keep building. No transcription. No lost sessions. No excuses.

Download on the App Store Free to start. Pro from $9.99/mo or $69.99/yr.

What hurts today

  • Co-founder sessions produce the clearest strategic thinking of the week — and zero written record of what you both agreed to
  • Investor prep sessions where you're working through the pitch narrative on the board produce insights you can't reconstruct when you're building the deck at midnight
  • Product roadmap sketches on a whiteboard in a coffee shop contain your best thinking and no documentation
  • Advisor sessions where experienced people are giving you hard feedback at the board — you're nodding and mentally processing, not taking notes
  • Go-to-market planning discussions with your first sales hire produce ICP definitions, channel decisions, and sequencing agreements that evaporate by the end of the week
  • Every week there's a board that contained a decision you're now re-litigating because nobody wrote it down

How BoardSnap helps

  • Snap a co-founder session and both of you leave with the same written record — the decision, the reasoning, the action items — before the coffee shop closes
  • Investor prep boards produce a written pitch narrative outline — the story you're telling, the objections you're anticipating, the framing that landed — ready to build the deck from
  • Product strategy sketches produce a written roadmap summary — what you're building, what you're cutting, what you're pushing to the next quarter
  • Advisor session boards produce a structured action list from the feedback — the specific things an experienced operator told you to do, not your optimistic interpretation of what they meant
  • Brand-aware AI writes summaries in your startup's language from the moment you paste your URL — your product vocabulary, your market framing, your narrative
  • Offline queue handles the coffee shops, conference rooms, and anywhere else startups happen to be building

A day with BoardSnap

  1. Co-founder session

    You and your co-founder working through the hardest problem of the week at the board. Snap when you've reached a decision. BoardSnap produces the written record both of you leave with — what you decided, why, and what each of you does next.

  2. Investor prep

    Build the pitch structure on the board — the opening hook, the problem framing, the market opportunity, the defensibility argument. Snap. BoardSnap produces a written narrative outline that becomes the deck outline your designer works from.

  3. Product planning

    Sketch the roadmap — what's shipping this sprint, what's queued for next month, what you're cutting. Snap. BoardSnap produces a structured product plan you can share with early customers and advisors before it becomes a Notion doc.

  4. Advisor session

    Work through the key challenge with a trusted advisor at the board. They push back, they reframe, they suggest. Snap at the end. The structured summary captures what they said — not your filtered memory of it — as specific action items.

  5. GTM planning

    Define the ICP, the first channel, the sales motion. Map the sequencing. Snap. BoardSnap produces a written GTM plan — specific enough for your first sales hire to execute from, not so vague it could mean anything.

Features that matter for startup founders

Brand-aware AI

Paste your landing page URL the moment you create a project. BoardSnap AI reads your product language, your value proposition, and your market framing — every summary sounds like it was written by someone who actually knows your startup.

Offline queue

Startups don't work in well-connected offices. BoardSnap queues captures on-device — coffee shops, co-working spaces with spotty WiFi, the office before the ISP shows up. The session is documented the moment signal returns.

Projects per initiative

Separate projects for investor relations, product planning, and customer discovery. Each project has isolated board history and brand context — no noise between the investor narrative work and the product architecture boards.

Pinned context

Pin your pitch deck, your product brief, or your OKRs. Every board session already knows where the company is — the AI chat gives answers grounded in the actual startup context.

Tri-state action items

Early-stage execution is all about ruthless prioritization. Open / in-progress / done with subtasks — the task system that builds from the board, not from a separate planning meeting to process the notes from the board meeting.

Frequently asked

Is BoardSnap useful before you have a product — in the idea and discovery phase?

Yes — and it's particularly valuable here. The idea-phase whiteboard sessions where you're defining the problem, the customer, and the hypothesis are exactly the boards that benefit most from structured documentation. A written summary of your thesis before you build anything is the most valuable artifact in the early stage.

How does it help with investor prep specifically?

Build the pitch structure at the whiteboard — the opening, the market framing, the product story, the traction narrative, the ask. Snap. BoardSnap produces a written narrative outline that serves as the deck brief. Your designer works from structure, not from a founder's verbal description of what they want.

What's the best workflow for a two-person founding team?

One project for the company. Both co-founders snap boards — product sessions, investor prep, strategy discussions. The project AI chat gives both of them access to the full board history. The shared decision record prevents the classic co-founder drift: 'I thought we agreed to X.'

Can I use BoardSnap to capture customer interview insights?

Yes — sketch what you heard in a customer interview on the whiteboard (pain points, workarounds, phrases they used). Snap. BoardSnap produces a structured insight summary — useful for building your ICP, writing your landing page, and validating your thesis.

Does BoardSnap work for pre-product idea-stage founders?

Yes. Free plan is 30 boards in one project — enough for most early-stage founders to validate whether this is part of their workflow before upgrading to Pro.
