JafarNajafov · x · 2026-10-03
JafarNajafov shares a workflow for stress-testing startup ideas before telling anyone: run them through a "shadow advisory board" of AI personas.
- The panel includes Peter Thiel, Naval, Warren Buffett, a YC partner, and a skeptical VC
- Each persona critiques the idea from its own lens: contrarianism, compounding, market timing, distribution, and investment risk
- He frames it as a free pre-mortem and shares the exact prompt used
