The business coaching industry will generate $7.3 billion this year. Most of it is priced out of reach for the founders who need it most: and AI is about to change that math entirely.
A formal advisory board costs equity and five figures a year. Here is what you actually get from each, and where a $49/month version genuinely substitutes.
Too big for blog advice. Too small for McKinsey. The $1M-$10M founder is underserved by the current coaching market: and that gap has a name.

Vague coaching platitudes versus specific, source-backed recommendations, and why that difference changes how founders decide.
The most expensive pricing mistake is usually the delay, not the price. A worked example of how a founder gets unstuck in ten minutes with sourced advice.
Six months comparing a human coach with an AI advisory board: an honest breakdown of cost, availability, and quality of advice.
Where human coaches still win (accountability, emotional support) and where AI advisory boards dominate. A fair, founder-to-founder breakdown.
