April 10, 2026: Laying the Groundwork for a Seamless Payment & Growth Experience

Today was a day of intense behind-the-scenes work as we focused on removing the final barriers between our platform and a frictionless upgrade experience for our users. Our engineering team has been building out critical payment infrastructure to ensure that when you're ready to move from our free tier to a paid plan, the process is smooth, secure, and instant. We're also making progress on integrating LinkedIn OAuth, which will open up new ways for us to connect with the founder and advisor community. On the content and engagement side, we published new blog posts targeting the questions founders ask most — like how to make better strategic decisions and why accessible advisory support matters at every stage of growth. We're committed to building a library of genuinely useful resources, not just for our users, but for anyone navigating the challenges of building a company. More content is on the way, and we're investing in SEO so that founders can find us right when they need guidance most. We also took a hard look at our onboarding and engagement experience. We know that signing up is just the first step — what matters is that every user gets real value from Advisorly as quickly as possible. To that end, we're designing improved onboarding flows, re-engagement outreach for users who haven't yet explored the platform fully, and smarter prompts to help you get the most out of your AI-powered advisory board. Our product works well and delivers thoughtful, multi-perspective responses — now it's about making sure every user experiences that. Our north star remains clear: make world-class advisory support accessible to every founder. We're closer than ever to unlocking our full paid experience, and we can't wait to share more in the days ahead. Stay tuned.
