Rixx for founders

Your research team, from first idea to fundraise

Rixx researches your market, maps your competitors and analyses your numbers, citing every fact, then builds the brief, model or deck you need next.

Jobs to try

  • Validate the market: Research the market for scheduling and billing software for independent physiotherapy clinics in the US and UK: number of clinics, current tools and pricing, buyer pain points and the size of the opportunity. Cite every figure.
  • Map 20 competitors: Find and compare the 20 closest competitors for an AI bookkeeping product for US freelancers: positioning, pricing, target customer, key features and announced funding. One row each, sources on every cell.
  • Read the signup data: Analyse the attached signups CSV: weekly growth, activation by channel, and the cohorts with the best 30-day retention. Return three charts and a short summary for my investor update.
  • Three-year model: Build a three-year monthly financial model in Excel for a B2B SaaS startup with three pricing tiers: customer growth, churn, revenue, headcount costs and runway, with an assumptions tab and charts.
  • Seed deck draft: Draft a 12-slide seed pitch deck from the attached notes: problem, solution, market size with sources, competition, business model, traction, team and the ask. Use the editorial theme.

What you get back

  • Cited market report: Who the customers are, how many there are, what they use today and what they pay, with every figure linked to its source.
  • Competitor table: Every close competitor in one table, merged from parallel research, with a source on each cell so investors can check it.
  • Financial model (.xlsx): Revenue, costs and runway with working formulas. Change churn or price and the plan updates. Market-based assumptions carry a source.
  • Editable pitch deck (.pptx): A first draft with native charts and sourced market slides, in one of six themes, ready to rewrite in your own voice.

Researched and cited by default

No search toggle and no research mode to switch on. Rixx researches the live web before it answers a factual question, reads the files you give it, and cites every fact it uses.

Early on, you are the strategy team, the analyst and the designer, usually after the product work is done for the day. Rixx takes the research and the first draft of the work that follows from it. It researches before it answers, cites every fact from the web inline, and builds editable files. When an investor asks where a number came from, you already have the link.

Ask anything: fast answers while you build

Founders ask dozens of small factual questions a week. How many dental clinics are there in Germany? What does the leading competitor charge for its team plan? What are the VAT rules for selling software to consumers in the EU? Ask Rixx and get a researched, cited answer in seconds. There is no search toggle; research is on by default. See the AI research assistant.

Deep research: validate the market before you commit

Before you build, find out who the customers are, how big the problem is, who already sells to them and what they charge. A deep research job reads across many sources and writes a structured, cited report you can share with a co-founder or advisor. The AI market research generator shows the format, and AI SWOT analysis gives a quick strategic read on a competitor or on your own plan.

Good first jobs:

  • "How do independent physiotherapy clinics in the UK handle scheduling and billing today, and what do they pay?"
  • "What has changed in US telehealth reimbursement rules in the last two years, and who benefits?"
  • "Which customer segments are adopting AI bookkeeping fastest, with evidence?"

Wide research: every competitor, one table

The competitor slide investors trust is the one with sources. With wide research, Rixx splits a long list across parallel agents, one per company, and merges the results into one table: positioning, pricing, target customer, features and announced funding. Ask for 20 competitors or 40 potential partners and every row comes back with its own sources. See AI competitor analysis.

Analyse your data and documents: make sense of your own numbers

Upload a signups export, a revenue CSV or a survey of early users. Rixx uses its own private workspace, with a full terminal and Python, to clean the data, compute growth, cohorts and retention, and chart the result, with the working visible. That is your investor update chart in minutes. See AI data analysis.

Documents work too: term sheets, customer interview notes, a competitor's public filings, a long regulatory PDF. Ask across them and every answer references the document and page. See AI document analysis and, for a stack of files, summarize multiple PDFs.

Make the file: the model, the memo and the deck

When the research is done, Rixx builds what comes next:

Worked example: from idea to investor-ready evidence

The job, for a fictional company: "We are building Lumen Health, remote monitoring for cardiac patients. Research the US market, profile the 15 closest competitors, analyse our pilot data in the attached CSV, and build a three-year model."

Rixx may ask a quick multiple-choice question about your target buyer. Then it runs as a job in the background. What comes back:

Output What is in it
Market report (.docx) Patient numbers, reimbursement codes, buyer types and growth, every figure cited
Competitor table (.xlsx) 15 companies from parallel research, sources on every cell
Pilot analysis Engagement and outcome charts from your CSV, with the Python working
Model (.xlsx) Three-year plan with live formulas and sourced market assumptions

When you are ready to raise, ask Rixx to turn all of it into a 12-slide deck in the same chat.

Tips for founder jobs

  • Ask for ranges. "Give me a low, base and high market size with the assumptions behind each" reads as more credible than one big number.
  • Put your own data in. Upload pilot results or interview notes so the work reflects your customers, not just the public web.
  • Keep one Project per company or raise. Files, chats and instructions stay together.
  • Save your format as a Skill. Your investor-update structure or competitor criteria become reusable instructions.

Which plan fits founders

Every plan, including Free, gets every feature, so you can run a real job before paying. Founders using Rixx most days usually pick Plus at $8/month (Starter ₹399 in India) or, during a raise with frequent models and decks, Pro at $20/month ($200/year; ₹1,799 in India). A quick cited answer uses a few credits; a deep report or a job that builds files uses more. See pricing.
