Built by Founders, for Founders
Helping idea-rich, time-poor builders go from spark ➜ MVP ➜ traction with AI-powered lean guidance.
Why LeanPivot.ai Exists
In November 2024, Brandon Aday – a Gen-AI engineer with two decades in digital marketing & data analytics – needed a coach to focus his own side projects.
He built one. By blending large-language-model smarts with the Lean Startup framework, Brandon created PivotPal – an always-on co-founder that asked ruthless questions, tracked experiments, and turned fuzzy ideas into action plans.
Very quickly, friends juggling day jobs and dream ventures asked to try it. Their wins revealed a bigger problem: thousands of aspiring solopreneurs lacked structured, data-driven guidance.
LeanPivot.ai turned Brandon's personal tool into a public platform. Our mission is simple: democratize scientific entrepreneurship. We give everyday innovators AI firepower and a proven lean process so they waste less time, spend less money, and ship products customers actually want.
Our Core Beliefs
Principles that drive every line of code & every coaching prompt
Validate,
Then Build
Ideas aren't scarce – evidence is. We help founders test assumptions before writing a single line of product code.
Speed of Learning
Rapid experiments beat lengthy business plans. Momentum compounds when feedback loops are short.
Human-Centric AI
LLMs are assistants, not oracles. We design prompts & guardrails that keep founders in the driver's seat.
Founder Empathy
We've lived the 2 AM pivot panic. Every feature is built to reduce stress, not add it.
