Aurora · AI by The Karak  •  Decision Intelligence Agent

What real founders actually did.

Not what they were advised to do.

Aurora surfaces real founder decisions from a proprietary database of 23,000+ verified events — what was decided, what happened, and what the lesson was. Every answer is grounded, cited, and traceable. No hallucination. No generic playbooks.

23,916 founder decisions in the database 5,279 startups from India, USA & EU 10,061 verified decision insights 15+ authenticated curated sources Start asking Aurora → HOW AURORA WORKS

Ask a question. Get grounded evidence.

Aurora doesn’t generate advice — it retrieves evidence. Three parallel search strategies find the most relevant founder decisions for your question, filtered by your stage, country, and sector.

STEP 01 You ask a question Plain English. “How did Indian founders handle RBI restrictions?” Add your stage, country, and sector for sharper results. STEP 02 Aurora searches the evidence Three parallel searches — semantic similarity, decision-type tagging, and keyword matching — run across 23,000+ real founder decisions. STEP 03 Evidence is ranked and filtered Results are merged, deduplicated, and scored by relevance. Only evidence above Aurora’s confidence threshold is used. STEP 04 You get a cited answer What founders did, what happened, and what the lesson was — every claim attributed to a real named company. If evidence is thin, Aurora says so. FOUNDER CO-PILOT

More than Q&A — a structured thinking partner

Explore mode lets you ask anything freely. Coach mode activates specialised agents that guide you through specific founder decisions, stage by stage.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What founders ask us

Is this just ChatGPT with a startup skin? No. Generic AI tools generate answers by blending patterns across the internet. Aurora only answers from its own structured database of real decisions. If the evidence isn’t there, it tells you. That’s a constraint by design, not a limitation. What is the PM Agent and do I need it? The PM Agent is Aurora’s first specialised coach, focused on product decisions. It asks context questions, surfaces one focused question per stage visit, and grounds every answer in ~8,000 product-specific events. If you’re pre-PMF wrestling with what to build, cut, or validate — it’s built for exactly that. What if Aurora doesn’t have data on my question? It says so directly: “I don’t have reliable data on this yet.” It won’t fill the gap with generic startup wisdom. Questions with thin coverage signal what the database adds next. Why does it filter by stage and country? A pre-seed fintech founder in Bangalore is not in the same situation as a Series B consumer startup in San Francisco. Stage, geography, and sector change what the evidence says significantly. Aurora boosts results matching your context. What is the difference between free and Pro?
