Founders wear every hat. You’re the researcher, the strategist, the salesperson, and the product builder—all at once. Every decision needs data, but you don’t have a team of analysts to gather it. What you do have is the entire internet and an AI tool.

Here’s how founders are using Save to do the research of a 10-person team with a 1-person budget.

Workflow 1: Competitor Products → Market Validation

You have an idea. Before building, you need to know: who else is doing this, and why will you win?

The workflow:

Save competitor websites, product pages, pricing, and customer reviews as Markdown
Validate your positioning:

“Here are 5 products in [space]: their homepages, pricing pages, and customer reviews. What problems do they solve? What do customers complain about? Where is every product falling short? Based on these gaps, does my idea for [describe product] have a clear market opportunity?”

“If I’m building [your product], what’s my strongest positioning against these competitors? Draft a 1-sentence value proposition that highlights what they’re all missing.”

Build with conviction — Your idea is validated (or killed) by actual market data before you write a line of code

Workflow 2: Investor Profiles → Targeted Fundraising

You’re raising a round. Cold-emailing every VC on a list wastes time. You need to target investors who actually invest in your space.

The workflow:

Save investor portfolio pages, partner bios, and recent blog posts from target firms
Personalize your approach:

“Here’s the portfolio page and partner bios for [VC Firm]. Which partner is the best fit for our company in [space]? What portfolio companies are adjacent to what we’re building? Draft a personalized cold email to [Partner] that references their portfolio and explains why we’re complementary to their existing investments.”

“Based on their blog posts, what thesis is this investor currently excited about? How should I frame our company to align with their thinking?”

Get meetings — Targeted outreach that shows you did your homework

Workflow 3: Market Reports → Pitch Deck Content

Your pitch deck needs a market slide. “It’s a big market” isn’t convincing. You need data.

The workflow:

Save market sizing reports, industry analyses, and trend pieces
Build the narrative:

“Here are 4 reports about [market]. Extract the key data points I need for a pitch deck: TAM/SAM/SOM with sources, growth rate, key tailwinds driving growth, and any data points about customer willingness to pay or adopt new solutions.”

“Draft the narrative for my market slide: 3 sentences that tell a compelling story about why this market is big, growing, and ready for disruption.”

A data-backed pitch — Investors see sourced numbers, not hand-waved estimates

Workflow 4: Customer Discovery → Pattern Recognition

You’ve talked to 20 potential customers and read through forum threads, Reddit discussions, and Twitter complaints about the problem you’re solving.

The workflow:

Save the forum threads, Reddit posts, and Twitter discussions
Find the patterns:

“Here are 10 online discussions where people complain about [problem]. What are the most common pain points? What solutions have they tried and abandoned? What would they pay for a solution? What language do they use to describe the problem (this is gold for marketing copy)?”

“Based on these discussions, draft 3 customer personas with their specific pain points, current workarounds, and what would make them switch to a new solution.”

Build what people actually want — Product requirements from real customer language, not your assumptions
