True's AI Office Hours: Get Feedback From Our AI Partner Personas

True Team

Practice your pitch, stress-test a roadmap, or pressure-test a hire — free, no sign-up, with AI personas trained on twenty years of True's investing notes.

The most useful advice a Founder gets is rarely on the calendar, and it's always been rationed by proximity. True AI Office Hours is our attempt at loosening that — free sessions with AI personas of the True partnership, each one trained on twenty years of our insights, notes, conversations, and memos.

Access without the warm intro

It's free and doesn't require sign-up. Pick what you need: pitch review, product strategy input, GTM planning advice, or hiring guidance. Then pick who you want in the room. Because the personas are built on our own material, the questions you get are close to the ones we'd actually ask. Choose one partner, or several if you'd like to watch a consumer investor, an infrastructure investor, and a CFO disagree about your pricing.

Built in a single afternoon

True Partner Mike Montano, former head of engineering at what is now X, built True's AI Office Hours in a single afternoon on Polsia, a True portfolio company. 

One reaction Mike anticipated and never got: "They're going to think, 'What is Mike trying to do — get out of the way and not be available to me?'" Instead, Founders have leaned in. Sessions average over twenty minutes. Some Founders come for practice reps before a real meeting; others want a second opinion on a product decision at an hour when no one is awake.

Not a replacement for conviction

AI Office Hours is not an AI investor. It doesn't evaluate deals or signal interest, and it isn't a substitute for the relationship. As Mike puts it: "The nuanced art of conviction and knowing when to support, when to challenge a founder, having empathy and credibility in tough moments — I don't think a model or AI replicates any of that."

We back founders who are early. It seemed right to be early ourselves.
