Typically - less than a week. After registering your interest through our contact form, one of our expert advisors will be in touch to discuss your needs. StartSmart works by building a unique, personalised model and assessment template built around your knowledge and experience. This model is purpose built, and only accessible by you. Our expert advisor will work directly with you to set this model up in a short 1:1 workshop session. After this, its all yours for a test drive!
We work with both individual consultants, and business advisory consultancies directly. Please get in touch through our contact form and one of our expert advisors will contact you to discuss your needs.
Absolutely not. StartSmart was built with the principle of bringing the power of AI to everyone, not just the tech whiz-kids. All you need to do is tell us what you need – and we'll handle the rest. Our web-platform is straightforward and easy to use, and puts you in the driving seat. The StartSmart technology has been designed to keep the AI "on rails" and avoid "hallucinations" as much as possible. Nonetheless - you can review all feedback before it reaches your client, keeping you in the loop and giving you peace of mind.
StartSmart is fully customisable right out of the box. Our onboarding process ensures you receive a bespoke, fully customised assessment template which pays attention to the things you care about. Whether that be sustainability, growth potential, or commercial history – StartSmart makes sure that the feedback is tailored to what you, and your clients need. These templates are unique to your organisation, and cannot be accessed by anyone else.
Our advisors are available any time of day to help you tweak and update your template over time. If priorities change, or needs shift – no problem. Simply reach out to us over the phone and one of our advisors will handle the rest. Software training and support is available on request. Lifetime technical support, including feature requests is also available.
Any business plans submitted through our portal will be visible by the client, and your team alone. No other users of the platform will have access to any of this information. Business plans can be exported to PDF and shared freely by you or the client.
