Issue 01 Live market intelligenceEst. 2026 — Drafted on demand
The only AI business plan generator with live market research built in
PlanForge thinks first.
Before a single word, PlanForge runs five live web searches — your market size, recent funding rounds, real competitors, regulation and buyer sentiment — then files eighteen investor-ready outputs in one click. Consultants charge £500–£5,000 and take weeks. This takes about twenty seconds and starts free.
Built from the ground up for founders who have to win in competitive funding environments — where a generic, training-data plan gets you shown the door.
01
Five live research streams
Before writing a word, PlanForge runs five simultaneous web searches — market size, recent VC rounds, named-competitor deep-dive, the regulatory picture, and buyer sentiment. Whatever each returns flows into every output, and the Market Intelligence tab shows exactly which streams came back live — we never fake the ones that don't.
Exclusive
02
A financial model that argues back
A real, editable three-year P&L — revenue growth, gross margin, churn, CAC, headcount. Change any input, recalculate instantly, and watch Bear, Base and Bull move with it. Banks and investors expect this. It's built in.
Interactive
03
The funding landscape, mapped
Live intelligence on who raised what in your sector lately — deal sizes, the investors involved, and what it means for your round. Pulled from current web research and laid out as a briefing your investors will be surprised you have.
Live data
04
An eight-point investor score
Eight dimensions — including Exit Clarity and ESG Impact — each benchmarked against live industry averages drawn from real data, not a number the model invented. You see exactly where the plan is strong and where it bleeds.
Benchmarked
05
A standing market-intelligence desk
The research isn't quietly stuffed into the prose — it's its own tab. Market sizing, competitive signals, regulatory alerts and sentiment, structured and citable, ready to re-run on demand when the ground shifts.
Live data
06
SWOT with real names attached
Every SWOT is informed by all five research streams — so actual company names, recent competitor moves and live market openings land in your analysis. Grounded intelligence, not the usual generic four quadrants.

§ 04 Before You Generate
Questions investors ask. We've prepared you.
Before generating anything, PlanForge fires five simultaneous web searches aimed at your exact industry: market-size reports, recent funding rounds in your sector, the competitor landscape, the regulatory environment, and customer sentiment. Whatever returns is injected into every prompt — plan, deck, SWOT, score and every tab. If a stream finds nothing usable, the Market Intelligence tab flags it as “no live data” rather than inventing it, and shows how many of the five came back — you watch it happen in real time on the loading screen.
Yes. The Financial Model tab has fully editable inputs — revenue growth, gross margin, monthly churn, customer acquisition cost, average revenue per user, and headcount growth. Change any number, hit Recalculate, and the three-year Bear / Base / Bull projections update instantly. No spreadsheet required.
It's generated from live web search at the moment you create your plan, so it reflects current-period activity. Like any web-sourced data, verify critical figures independently before presenting them — but it gives you an accurate, current read on your competitive funding environment that most founders simply don't have.
Twelve: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Mandarin, Japanese, Hindi, Dutch and Russian. The research also looks for region-specific data when you name your country, so a Spanish founder gets Spanish market data where it exists.
Yes — it works for founders anywhere. If you're in the US, flip the $ USD toggle in pricing to see dollar figures (checkout is billed in GBP). Select United States as your country and the research pulls US market data, US rounds and US regulatory context. All 18 outputs are tuned for US investor expectations and SBA-adjacent formatting.
The free plan runs the full five-stream live research and generates a complete plan behind the scenes — you see a preview of the first three sections, plus the full pitch deck, SWOT, investor score and the live market-intelligence tab. No card required. Paid plans unlock all 18 outputs — the financial model, valuation, competitor matrix, investor Q&A, investor emails, social calendar, website copy, runway and more.
Your account and the plans you generate are stored securely in our database, so you can access, edit and export them from your dashboard anytime — and you can delete any plan, or your whole account, whenever you like. To build a plan, your business details are sent to Anthropic's Claude API; payments run through Stripe, so we never see your card details. We don't run ad-tracking or analytics, we never sell your data, and we never use it to train AI models. We comply with GDPR (UK/EU) and CCPA (California) — full detail in the Privacy Policy.
