Getting Started with Access to Business

What Is This?

Access to Business is a Claude AI skill that acts as your hands-on startup coach. It doesn't just advise — it builds with you. Every session ends with something shipped.

Installation

Option 1: Claude.ai (Recommended)

  1. Download the latest .skill file from Releases

  2. Go to Claude.ai > Settings > Skills

  3. Upload the .skill file

  4. Start a new conversation and type /start

Option 2: Clone the Repo

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Point your Claude skill directory to the repo
  3. The SKILL.md file will be automatically detected

Your First Session

Once installed, just type:

/start

The skill will ask you three questions:

  1. What's your startup or business idea?
  2. Customers or funding — which matters more right now?
  3. How much time do you have?

Then it routes you to the right mode and gets to work.

1 — Pre-Revenue "No customers yet" Gets you your first 10 customers
2 — Early Revenue "A few paying customers" Builds repeatability and GTM
3 — Growth "We're scaling" Systems, capital, and investor readiness
4 — Scaling "Series A+" Efficiency, team, and operational excellence

  • Financial models and unit economics
  • Sales outreach and pipeline templates
  • Legal formation checklists
  • Contract templates (SaaS, MSA, NDA, DPA)
  • Compliance frameworks (HIPAA, SOC2, GDPR, PCI-DSS)
  • Decision frameworks (should I raise, entity type, build vs buy, when to hire)
  • Advisor session prep and diagnostic tools
  • Integration guides (Stripe, Airtable)
  • State-specific resource guides

Interactive Tools

Four self-contained browser apps ship alongside the skill. Open the HTML file in a browser — no install, no account.

App Purpose
apps/intake-app.html Structured founder intake assessment
apps/pitch-timer.html Pitch rehearsal timer with section pacing
apps/runway-calculator.html Burn rate and runway projection
apps/unit-economics-calculator.html CAC, LTV, payback, and margin modeling

The skill will offer these when they match what you're working on — or you can open them directly.
