What this score means
Your AEO score measures whether AI search engines - ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini - can actually read your site and cite it in answers. Roughly two-thirds of sites are invisible to them. At 6.1/10, Downshift has a working base to build on - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who does Downshift partner with?
Downshift partners with early-stage founders building AI-native ventures — across SaaS, FinTech, EdTech, B2C, B2B, and consumer products. Whether you are pre-funding or preparing for your first raise, Downshift brings co-founder-level commitment to help you build a real company.
How fast can you take a venture from idea to production?
Most ventures reach production in 3-6 weeks, with more complex builds launching in 6-12 weeks. Downshift uses AI-powered development alongside a senior founding team to move fast without cutting corners. Results guaranteed — the team does not stop until you are in market.
Do you have experience in my industry?
Yes. Downshift has co-built ventures across FinTech, EdTech, SaaS, B2B, marketplaces, cybersecurity, and more. Ask for anonymized case studies specific to your sector.
What happens after launch?
The partnership does not end at launch. Downshift provides ongoing technical leadership, growth engineering, and a care plan to keep your product scaling. Plus, you get one year of the AI-powered StartLabs platform for continuous strategic support.
Do you take equity?
No equity required. Downshift uses transparent, cash-first pricing so you keep 100% ownership and control. Equity is only discussed (and always optional) after real value has been delivered — and only if it makes sense for both sides.
How is Downshift different from an agency or dev shop?
Downshift is not an agency — it is a venture partner. You work directly with exited founders and senior engineers who have built and scaled real startups. No account managers. No ticket queues. Downshift owns outcomes, not just deliverables.
