Northwind: Founder Coach

Building a company can feel lonely. There are things you can't easily raise with your team, your investors, or the people at home. Northwind is where you say them out loud — a private confidant that listens, pushes back, and remembers what matters. TALK, DON'T TYPE Open it and start talking. Northwind hears you out, asks the question that actually moves things, and answers in a voice you choose. No forms, no prompts, no chat window to stare at. If you can't talk, type instead — the microphone switches off when you do. IT REMEMBERS YOUR WORLD Your co-founder's name. What the product is. What you decided and why. Things that change — cash in the bank, runway, headcount — are kept as one fact and updated, not stacked up. When a number gets old, Northwind says so instead of quoting it back at you as though it were still true. IT NOTICES PATTERNS When you keep returning to the same thing, it knows. Come back after a few weeks and it picks up where you left off, naming what you were actually in the middle of. BUILT FOR FOUNDERS, NOT FOR EVERYONE It knows what runway, churn, a bridge and a term sheet are, and it won't explain them to you. It knows that pre-seed worry and Series A worry are different problems. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No account. No sign-up, no password, no email address. Your conversations and memories are stored on your phone, encrypted, and there is no cloud copy of them — nothing for anyone to read, lose, or be compelled to hand over. Replies are written by an open AI model (Gemma) served by Cerebras under Northwind's own instructions; speech is transcribed by Mistral and spoken by Fish Audio. None of it is stored by us. Export everything or delete everything from inside the app. Northwind is an AI, not a person and not a clinician. It doesn't diagnose or treat anything. If things are serious, it will say so and point you to real people. Start free: your first conversation is on us, and every month includes 20 free minutes. For more room there are two monthly memberships — Northwind (4 hours of conversation a month) and Northwind Plus (15 hours a month) — auto-renewing subscriptions charged to your Apple ID and manageable in Settings.
