bigaiguy · x · 2026-10-22
The full "Shadow Advisory Board" prompt: paste it into Claude/ChatGPT and the model role-plays 5 distinct investor personas critiquing your business idea from different angles.
- Peter Thiel (contrarian technologist): monopoly or commodity? 0→1 insight? Can it scale to $1B+ without competition?
- Naval Ravikant (leverage maximalist): code/media/capital leverage? Will it make you rich or just busy?
- Warren Buffett (economics fundamentalist): where's the moat? Can a 12-year-old understand the model?
- Plus a YC partner and a skeptical VC persona
The companion tweet reports it validated a SaaS idea and saved 6 months of building the wrong thing.
