Show HN: Tool to check risks of your startup

https://www.siqnalis.com/risk-check
2•hulk-konen•1h ago
I noticed around a year ago that LLMs can be used to set up financial models (vs. being the model, if that makes sense).

Before I turned into a full-time software developer and CS student, I ran a small business (local coffee roastery) and was in business roles in several startups due to my having an MSc in economics.

I think this tool captures pretty nicely the risks that I noticed when I was doing the business roles. For example, running a coffee roastery that was essentially failing financially, it would have helped me greatly to identify and take seriously risks this model outputs before putting all my savings on the line.

In my testing, the model has performed nicely from the most valuable company on earth to my current operation: no revenue, no funding, no team (the 'contact team' button on the webpage reflects hoped-for future state). Smaller companies are of course more interesting, as the web is not full of research papers about your startup.

Siqnalis: https://www.siqnalis.com/risk-check?uuid=f421f0b5-4551-4f72-...

This is just a quick tool intended to test your company's, competitors', suppliers etc. risks.

Basic principle: Input company name + URL --> black-box --> risk profile identified.

But I'm working on this: Input background info --> edit everything after models have been set up --> much clearer picture about your company's market, situation and possibilities. So the idea is to open up the black box for users to edit and play with.

This way, sub-$50M companies could access risk logs, predictive modeling, and other financial tools.
