Founders' Book vs Fresco

#1 Platform for founders and early-stage startups

There’s an abundance of free information out there for people who want to start a business. As you’ve probably seen, it’s often outdated, incomplete, SEO driven, or simply more “I am a GURU” theory.

We’ve spent the last year focused on one thing: how can we serve you better?

That’s taken us on a journey. From the first MVP of the Founders’ Book to building out a suite of products, tailored to founders and early-stage startups.

Here’s what will help you build your business inside Founders’ Book;

Digital Content Library - Knowledge base with tools, resources, guides, and hacks to ideate, plan, build and scale your startup

Startup OS - Eliminate 10+ productivity apps and build your startup with Notion. Significant savings on both cost and learning curve fronts

Startup Credits - The current investment landscape is very competitive and not looking good for many first-time founders and early-stage startups. Increasing runway by spending less on their SaaS subscriptions will give you an operational advantage.

An intuitive online whiteboard for real-time collaboration

Fresco makes collaboration more straightforward than ever. Our intuitive whiteboard lets you work with your team in real-time, collaborating on a series of pre-made and custom templates.

Besides offering a real-time collaboration experience, Fresco boasts an internal task manager and an integrated spreadsheet to help connect your workspace. Tasks can be assigned to prioritize your next steps, and the data you create in Fresco can be exported to other platforms, so nothing gets stuck in your board. These features help optimize the collaboration process and everything that comes after.

Fresco is especially helpful for managing projects, brainstorming, facilitating meetings, virtual workshops, and journey mapping, just to name a few use cases.

Created through the heart of the covid-19 pandemic, we built Fresco with an understanding of how important collaboration is for everyone. Fresco's mission is to be the most intuitive, easy-to-use online whiteboard available. We want to make it simple for users to collaborate but also to integrate Fresco into their existing workflow. Tools in isolation can only go so far, and Fresco allows you to import and export data to provide a seamless experience.

Many people’s first question about our product is, “how is it different?” The market has multiple different tools that all do a similar thing, so how are we special? For starters, our task manager and spreadsheet are 100% unique, offering value you can’t find anywhere else. We also place a high emphasis on simplicity. We want to make collaborating online and conducting virtual meetings as simple as possible, and our interface prioritizes this value. Visual collaboration should be intuitive and accessible for everyone, and Fresco makes that possible.
