Building With You: Shaping PM Buddy

I’m building a simple project management tool for startup founders and small business owners. It’s designed to ask the right questions, keep projects realistic, and make growth easier to track. Beyond organization, it also helps you document clearly for stakeholders, prepare for funding, and follow timelines so nothing is left to chance. This short survey (under 5 minutes) will help me understand your challenges so the tool truly meets your needs.
