Diligence Questions To Ask The Founders

  1. What specific problem does BuilderOS solve, and how is it different from existing tools?
  2. How is the AI integrated into the workflow, and what are its capabilities?
  3. Is this a prototype or a product in development? If so, what’s the roadmap?
  4. Have you tested the product with real users or customers?
  5. What is your plan for monetization and go-to-market?

Note

These questions are based on the lack of evidence in the description.
