The conversation you should have before you sign anything.
A structured compatibility audit for co-founders, mediated by AI. Surface the real fault lines in 90 minutes — before they cost you the company.
For founders signing partnership agreements, term sheets, or joint ventures.
Two out of three failed startups cite co-founder conflict as a primary cause.
There's a conversation founders skip because it's awkward — about money, exit, power, and what happens when one of you wants out. It feels rude to bring up before you've even started. So you don't. You build for a year on assumptions you never tested.
Small misalignments compound into rupture around month 18, almost on schedule. One of you wants to raise; the other wants to stay lean. One sees a lifestyle business; the other sees a unicorn. By the time you have the fight, you're already entangled — investors, employees, customers, a cap table.
Your legal agreements protect you when things break. They don't tell you whether things will break. AlignCheck does. It's the diligence you should run on each other, before you run it on the deal.
How it works
Three steps. About 90 minutes.
Invite your co-founder
They get a private link and create their own account. No data shared until you both finish.
Answer 20 questions, independently
About 40 minutes each. Honest, structured prompts on vision, money, exit, conflict, power, time, and risk. No peeking at the other's answers.

An AI-generated breakdown across 7 dimensions, with a guided conversation script for every gap.
What you get
A report you'll actually read together.
Overall alignment
You agree on vision and pace. You diverge on exit timing and how to handle conflict in public. Three of the seven dimensions need a conversation before you sign.
"Five years, then I want liquidity. I'm not building this forever."
"I'd ride this for fifteen years if it's working. Selling early is failure."
A 5-year exit clash typically surfaces during the first acquisition offer. One of you blocks; resentment compounds.
"If we got an offer at $20M in year 4, what would each of us actually want? Let's write it down before we have to decide."
Why now.
AI changed the economics.
A structured 90-minute audit used to require a $5,000 consultant. It doesn't anymore.
Co-founder conflict is the #1 silent killer.
VCs screen for it informally. You should run a real audit on yourselves.
The cost of finding out in month 18 is the entire company.
The cost of finding out now is $299.

From founders
What people say.
"We were two weeks from signing. The report surfaced a dealbreaker about exit timing neither of us had voiced. We're still partners, but on terms we wrote together after the conversation it forced."
"Cheaper than a single hour with our lawyer, and ten times more useful for the actual question we were avoiding. We had a real conversation that night."
"I was sure we were aligned. We weren't. Knowing now — before the term sheet — saved us at least a year of friction."
