Cortiq

The AI co-founder for your startup idea.

What it does

Cortiq is an AI platform that evaluates startup ideas before founders start building. It analyzes concepts across market demand, competition, scalability, and monetization to deliver structured insights in minutes. Unlike tools that generate ideas or pitch decks, Cortiq focuses on idea validation, helping founders identify strong opportunities and refine weak concepts before investing time and resources.
