Nicholas Thorne is a partner at prehype, a venture development firm that helps large companies create startups by acting as an incubator.

He's also the founder of Audos, an AI co-pilot designed to assist entrepreneurs in conducting customer interviews, creating slide decks, and potentially investing in their ideas.

According to Nicholas, Audos can even write code and identify freelancers, functioning as a virtual technical product manager. I interviewed him to explore how this co-pilot supports entrepreneurs, particularly those in the “conceptual stage,” to locate — and eventually exploit — what he calls ‘founder-customer fit.’

He outlined the ideal user profiles for Audos, which range from small business owners to corporate innovators and also explained how Audos leverages AI to tackle various tasks for entrepreneurs and discussed the investment opportunities he's pursuing.

Finally, Nicholas shared some of the resources he's using to deepen his understanding of AI.
