Be honest. You're already doing this.  

You're typing your real thoughts into ChatGPT. Whether you should fire your co-founder. The pitch that bombed and what it triggered in you. The doubt about your own product that you can't share with your team.

You do it because you need a space to think. Because sometimes it's easier to be honest with a screen than with the people counting on you.

But here's the thing: every word you type is stored on someone else's servers. Your startup's strategy, your investor tensions, your vulnerable moments — sitting in a cloud you don't control. 

What if there was something built for exactly this — that actually kept it private?

 

Meet your leadership Guide

Ilumae is an AI guide built specifically for leaders, founders, and high performers. Designed to go deeper than any general AI tool on the things that actually matter in leadership. 

Real-time support in the moments that matter. Before the high-stakes meeting. During overwhelm. At 3am when you can’t stop thinking. Not scheduled two weeks out. Now. 

Privacy by design. Built on Edge AI, which means your data stays on your device. Your inner world doesn’t end up in someone else’s cloud. Not ours. Not anyone’s. 

Depth, not surface. Ilumae doesn’t give you productivity tips. It helps you catch the patterns driving your decisions — the reactive moments, the blind spots, the things everyone else notices but won’t name. 

We’re building this with a small group of beta testers right now. Someone you know is one of them. And they think you should be too. 

Built for leaders who lead themselves first

 

C-suite leader or founder navigating high-stakes decisions daily. Personal growth is necessity, not luxury. You want real-time support, not weekly debriefs. You refuse to choose between growth and privacy. Ready to lead from awareness, not reaction.

This is not for you if you're looking for therapy or clinical support, or want quick fixes without inner work.

"We've been looking for a way to bridge the tension between costs optimization and innovation across our leadership team. When Ben told us about Ilumae, we immediately saw how it could help our leaders find shared purpose in real-time and not just quarterly offsites. We're excited to pilot this with our board and senior leadership team."
