What the FAQ?
Some frequently asked questions
Edventures is for first-time founders. More people need to start something of their own, and making a first version is easier than ever. Turning that into a real business is still hard. Most founders never get a place on a programme, or a coach they can actually reach. Anna fills that gap. She gives you the next step, checks whether you did the last one, and will not do the work for you.
No. Our mission statement is “entrepreneurship made accessible”, so we offer a free forever tier for anyone who’s not ready or able to pay yet. We also have a Pro tier with higher limits, specialist agent modes, better tools, and stronger AI models if you want more power and depth in your support from Anna.
No, we will never do that and we’ve even put it in writing in our Terms of Service. It’s both unethical and impractical for us to steal ideas, especially when we known success lies in the execution, not the idea itself. Many entrepreneurs have brilliant ideas, but turning them into viable businesses takes consistent and motivated action, not just inspiration. Our focus is on helping you take the steps to make your vision a reality.
While we can’t guarantee success, our aim is to give you the insights, guidance, and resources to maximise your chances of success. Our AI provides tailored advice and relevant information based on your unique goals and ambitions, but the results depend on how you apply that information. Success ultimately comes from the actions you take, your perseverance, and your ability to adapt. We’re here to support you every step of the way, but the journey is yours to make.
Those tools wait for a good prompt, then answer. If you don’t know what to ask, you get a lecture or a draft you didn’t write. Anna doesn’t wait. She tells you the next step for your business, checks whether you did the last one, and will not do the work for you. The point is that you get better at running it.
Anna is a coach for first-time founders, not an assistant that finishes your plan. She breaks the work into the next step, teaches the part you’re missing, and comes back if you go quiet. You still make the decisions.
Any first-time founder who’s thinking about starting a business, playing with different ideas, or already taking their first steps. If you want more clarity, structure, or a second opinion on what to do next, Anna is built for you.
You don’t need a clever prompt. Tell her where the idea is, or that you’re stuck. She asks what you need to decide, gives you one next step, and keeps a record of what you said you’d do. Next time she starts from that, not from a blank chat.
Human coaches are excellent, and most founders never get one. Programmes pick a few people, and good coaches are expensive and booked up. Anna is the coach you can open today. She gives you the next step and checks back, including on the days a mentor isn’t there. If you later get a human coach, she doesn’t replace them. She keeps you moving in between.
Yes, and not as a generic startup checklist. Anna looks at your business and the skill you don’t have yet, then teaches that piece instead of producing the document for you. As you finish steps, what she asks next changes.
Anna is for first-time founders who are shaping an idea or taking their first steps. She works in English only for now.
Yes. Anna can help you shape your answers, tighten your pitch, and highlight what you might be missing. She can’t connect you directly to investors or funding opportunities, but she’ll help you show up prepared.
She works from your idea, not a generic startup script. She’ll push you to test the assumptions that matter in your sector: who has the problem, whether they’ll pay, and what you should do this week. She is not a specialist in every industry. For a technical or regulated detail, check someone who is.
We always treat your personal data according to GDPR, and we store it securely. We use it to personalise your coaching. Anonymised data, which can no longer identify you, may be used to train our own model. You stay in control of what you share. The full detail is in our Privacy Policy.
Anna will not pretend she has lived your industry. A human mentor still wins on nuance, introductions, and judgement calls only experience can make. What she does is stop the early drift: the next step, a check on whether you did it, and honesty when you’re avoiding the hard part. Use both if you can. Most founders never get the human.
We’re improving Anna constantly, especially as we learn from founders around the world. Updates include behavioural tweaks, new content, better local context, and features that respond to real user feedback.
Not right now, and we’re not planning to build a matchmaking feature anytime soon. There are already plenty of platforms, databases, and LinkedIn lists doing that, so we’d rather focus on something more useful: helping great founders on our platform get noticed by relevant incubators in their area and helping those incubators with stronger deal flow.
Anna is built from real coaching of first-time founders, not from a pile of business articles. She asks the question a coach would ask, then waits for you to do the step. That coaching comes from founder interviews across India, Europe, and Southeast Asia.
Anna can guide you and point you in the right direction, set you up with relevant resources, and even point you to local support schemes. However, for detailed and sensitive legal or regulatory info, it’s always smart to verify with a local expert.
You can leave feedback directly in the app, through the platform, through our Discord community, or by email to [email protected]. We LOVE user feedback since it shapes how Anna evolves, and we’re always looking for ways to improve Anna, so please share your feedback or report any issues you encounter.
We’re working on deeper personalisation, more localised knowledge, additional languages, and new coaching tools that help you go from idea to launch faster. As we grow, connection features and ecosystem integrations will also come online.
You build the business with her, in one place. She turns the idea into the next step and an action plan you work through, and you update the business model as you learn. Notes sit next to that work. She does not hand you a finished plan to file away.
Yes. You can invite someone onto a project so you work from the same idea. The Free tier includes 2 team members. The Pro tier includes 5 team members per project. What you share on that project is visible to the people on it.
Share your referral link or code with someone new to Edventures. If they pay when they sign up, or within 90 days of joining on the Free tier, you get a one-time reward of 10% of what they actually pay for that first period. The full terms are on the Referral Programme page.
Yes. You can close your account, and you can ask us to delete the personal data tied to it. Email [email protected]. We delete it or anonymise it, unless the law says we have to keep something, for example for tax. Anonymised data may still be used to train our model. The detail is in our Privacy Policy.
Billing is subscription-based. You can start on the Free tier and upgrade to the Pro tier when you need more usage, tools, or support. Charges are applied per your active plan cycle.
Yes. You can cancel from your account settings. Your paid access stays active until the end of your current billing period, and then your account reverts to the Free tier.
Yes. After each successful payment, a receipt is generated and available for download through the billing page. If you need formal invoicing details, contact us.
The Pro tier gives you 10x higher limits, specialist agent modes, advanced AI features, and more collaborative tools for your entire team compared to the Free tier.
You can manage your subscription anytime from your account settings.
We use Stripe as our payment processor to accept all major credit cards. We also accept wire transfers for organisations.
No, we don’t offer a free trial on the Pro tier. We belive the Pro tier is a great value for the money, and we believe you’ll think so too.
Your account will safely revert to the Free tier at the end of your billing cycle. You can always upgrade again to the Pro tier at any time.
Edventures gives the people in your programme a coach they can open any day. Anna helps each person take the next step on their own idea. Your team does not have to sit in on every conversation.
We give you invite links. You send them to your group. Each person gets their own coaching with Anna. Coaches and managers can see how the group is getting on.
Organisations pay a licence fee. We agree that fee with you. It is not listed on this website. Book a demo and we will talk it through. You can also ask for Edventures under your own name. That sits inside the same licence.
Yes. If someone you invite starts paying for the Pro tier, you can earn a referral reward. The rules are on the Referral Programme page.
