Hey Sumolings,

Vesko here, Founder & CEO of Icanpreneur.

Our AppSumo campaign is over and to be honest with you, it was a blast! We onboarded partners and customers from all over the world, received a lot of great suggestions and helped many founders, teams, consultants and agencies make sharper product and GTM decisions.

To everyone who wants to experience Icanpreneur and didn't manage to do so while the deal was active, please free to reach out at [email protected] to share your use cases, needs and questions. We will make sure you are onboarded in the best possible way.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best,

-Vesko

Hey Sumolings,

Vesko here, Founder & CEO of Icanpreneur.

We just released Segment-aware Lean Canvas.

You can now filter your Lean Canvas by customer segment for a more focused view of your business model.

Why this matters:

Most serious startup work does not happen around "the customer" in general.

Different customer segments often have different problems, buying triggers, objections, channels, pricing logic, and GTM motions.

When all segments are shown at once, the Canvas can become harder to reason about.

Now you can focus the Canvas on the segment — or segments — you are working on right now.

This is especially useful when:

- you are comparing multiple customer segments for the same startup

- your team is working on different parts of the business model

- you are validating one segment before moving to another

- you are a consultant or agency guiding a client through one audience at a time

The filter is per user, so everyone in the same workspace can keep their own focus without changing the view for the rest of the team.

One person can focus on high-priority early adopters.

Another can explore a secondary segment.

A consultant can run a cleaner client discussion.

A founder can switch between segments without losing the bigger picture.

This is not just a convenience feature.

It reflects one of our core beliefs at Icanpreneur: better startup decisions come from clearer assumptions.

And customer segments are one of the most important assumptions to keep clear.

Segment by segment.

Problem by problem.

Evidence by evidence.

Thank you to everyone whose feedback keeps helping us make Icanpreneur more practical.

Hey Sumolings,

Vesko here, Founder & CEO of Icanpreneur.

One of the clearest pieces of feedback we received during this AppSumo campaign was that non-English users needed more of the Icanpreneur experience to work in their own language.

Not only the AI-generated outputs.

The guidance too.

And that feedback was right.

Entrepreneurship is already hard enough. If you are validating an idea, refining your business model, preparing research, or shaping your go-to-market, the product should help you think clearly — not force you to mentally translate every step.

So we shipped an important localization update.

Startup Guide, Builder, and Icanpreneur Help Center are now localized based on the language of your startup workspace.

That means when you create a startup workspace in a supported language — for example German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, or many others — Icanpreneur can now guide you much better in that language.

This is important because the Startup Guide is where Icanpreneur helps you understand what to do next, Builder is where you refine the key parts of your business model, and Help Center is where you can better understand the concepts and workflows behind the platform.

This update also builds on the existing support for startup workspace languages. Your chats with IVA, Canvas work, research insights, Buyer Personas (including TALKING with it!!), positioning & messaging, landing page copy, sales deck copy, and other GTM assets can already be created in the language of your workspace.

So the experience is now much more consistent:

You can create your startup workspace in the language of your market.

You can generate and refine your startup content in that language.

And now the key guidance areas of the product also support that language much better.

This update matters to us because Icanpreneur is not meant to be another generic AI tool or blank chat box.

We are building a structured platform that helps founders, consultants, agencies, and product builders make better evidence-backed decisions — about customers, problems, positioning, roadmap, and go-to-market.

And those decisions should be possible in the language you think in.

To everyone who raised this during the campaign: thank you.

Your feedback directly helped us improve the product.

Credits power IVA, your AI co-founder inside Icanpreneur.

They are used for structured startup workflows such as generating business models, running synthetic, AI-led, and AI-assisted interviews, extracting research insights, building buyer personas, testing decisions with personas, and creating go-to-market assets like positioning, landing pages, and sales decks.

Every AppSumo tier includes monthly AI credits that refill each month, plus 50,000 one-time welcome bonus credits so you can explore the platform more deeply from the beginning. The monthly AI credits included in different tiers are designed to support different levels of usage and workflow depth. The higher the tier, the larger the monthly AI credit allowance — giving you more room for deeper workflows, more interviews, more research, and more go-to-market asset generation.

We know credits can feel unfamiliar at first, especially when evaluating a new AI product. That is why we make credit usage visible in two ways inside Icanpreneur:

1. AI credit cost table

Shows what each AI action costs:

Hey Sumo-lings! 👋

Vesko here, with one of the most important releases we've shipped so far.

Have you ever created a buyer persona… and then gone right back to guessing? 🤔

You ran the interviews. You built the persona. The customer evidence is sitting in your workspace.

But then you still have to decide on pricing, headlines, features, campaign messaging, sales pitches. And somehow, the decision still comes down to gut feel.

That gap has bothered us. Because the whole point of doing customer research is to make better decisions. So we built the feature that closes the loop. 🎯

🚀 Talk with Your Buyer Persona is now live inside Icanpreneur. Your persona is no longer a static profile. It becomes an active voice in your decision-making process.

Test the things you're actually deciding against real customer evidence:

• 💰 Pricing – test what your customers will actually pay
• ✏️ Copy – landing pages, headlines, email subject lines, ad creative
• 🚀 Features – pressure-check what to build before you build it
• 📩 Campaign messaging – stress-test your positioning before it goes live
• 💼 Sales pitches – find the objection before your prospect does
• 🌐 Websites – test your full narrative against the people you built it for

And your Buyer Persona responds based on the interview evidence behind it. Every test gives you:

• ✅ What creates interest
• ⚠️ What causes hesitation
• 🔍 What proof is missing
• 🧪 What still needs to be tested

Not generic AI feedback. Not another opinion. The evidence from the people you have already interviewed.

This is the moment your persona stops being a document and becomes a decision-making partner.

And for us, this is a major step toward the bigger vision behind Icanpreneur: helping founders stop guessing and start making evidence-backed decisions across the full journey – from idea to validation to GTM.

This is the biggest unlock we've shipped to date, and we believe it changes what it means to use a buyer persona at all. Once you start testing your decisions against the real customer evidence, going back to guessing makes no sense.

The feature is now live and included in every AppSumo tier. Open your workspace, open your persona, start testing. 🚀

Then come back here and tell us what you tested first. I read every comment personally, and I genuinely want to see how you use it.

We're just getting started.

Best,

-Vesko
