No idea yet
I want to start a business but have no idea what.
You want something of your own, but nothing feels clear yet.
Read the guide →What's worth
building next?
TrueFaro is an AI-guided interview that helps you work out what kind of business might fit you — and which possibilities are worth taking seriously.
You don’t need an idea to start. Bring a few possibilities, a half-formed thought, or just the urge to build something of your own.
See where the conversation can lead
Illustrative examples—not actual interviews or reports.
“I want my own business. I just don’t know what.”
TrueFaro
“You’ve created training manuals for new employees. Which did you enjoy more—making the materials or running the training?”
You
“Making the materials. Something people could use without me.”
A possible direction in your report
You might not want to teach. You might want to make teaching easier.
Training kits for small businesses.
“I’ve got several ideas. I can’t choose.”
TrueFaro
“You’re considering an agency, consulting and a digital product. What work do you not want to do again?”
You
“Managing a team. Having my day dictated by clients.”
A possible read in your report
A good idea can still be the wrong business for you.
Your agency plan brings back both.
It might make commercial sense, but it works against the life you described.
“I’d love to open a café. But would I enjoy running it?”
TrueFaro
“Which part excites you—creating the café or running it once it’s established?”
You
“Creating it. The space, the menu, the atmosphere. Once it’s running, I’d probably want to create another.”
A possible direction in your report
Perhaps you don’t want to run a café. You want to bring cafés to life.
Developing café concepts for other owners.
From the first idea to opening day, without taking on daily operation.
Still thinking it through?
Start with the question closest to where you are.
One idea
How do I know if a business idea fits me?
The idea sounds good. The question is whether you would actually want the business that comes with it.
Read the guide →Several ideas
How do I choose between business ideas?
A few options look plausible, but you cannot tell which deserves your energy.
Read the guide →What makes this different
ChatGPT answers your questions. TrueFaro asks the questions you wouldn’t think to ask yourself.
It asks about what you’ve actually done, what you enjoy, what drains you, and what keeps coming up—before looking for directions.
It’s a structured conversation, not a questionnaire—TrueFaro follows a deliberate path, but adapts the interview to what it learns about you.
Tell the story → check what actually holds up → find what fits.

02
Directions worth taking seriously
A small number of possibilities, with a clear explanation of what the business could be, why it might fit you, and where it could fall apart.
03
A practical way to test them
Small first steps for the strongest directions, so you can explore them before committing serious time or money.

How to use the result
TrueFaro gives you a perspective.
You decide what fits.
TrueFaro isn’t a personality test. It doesn’t put you in a category or pretend there’s one perfect business for you.
It explains the connections it makes, so you can see what its read is based on — and push back when something feels wrong.
The directions are possibilities to investigate, not predictions of success.
What TrueFaro is based on
The reading, research and practical thinking behind the interview.
How TrueFaro was built →
Why I built TrueFaro
After selling my company, I expected the next thing to become obvious. It wasn’t.
Over the next few years I tried several ventures. Some were interesting, some worked to a point, but none became the next chapter I was looking for. I had ideas. What I didn’t have was a reliable way to work out which ones I should focus my energy on.
Before that, I spent 17 years in executive search—asking questions, assessing fit, and trying to understand where someone was likely to do their best work and why.
TrueFaro brings those two experiences together. It’s the process I wanted when I was trying to work out what to build next.
