About us

Real people.One simple idea.

SketchMind is built by a small team that got tired of spending hours in whiteboard tools before anything useful appeared. So we built the tool we wanted ourselves.

Our story

From “hallo” to a working product.

Day 1

It started as FlowMind.

Jesse asked an AI builder for a whiteboard. The first version could draw a line, and not much more. The very first word on the board: hallo.

1month

Building everything, not just an app.

Evenings and weekends, next to a full-time job. Sketches on paper, hundreds of prompts with Claude, code with Claude Code, row-level security and a pentest, skills, automations, a strategy, and one system to run it all.

1sentence

FlowMind became SketchMind.

By summer, one sentence was enough for the AI to build a whole board. The tool had grown up, so it got a name to match.

10:18PM

Process + outcome = SketchMind.

Late on a Friday, Jesse wrote down what SketchMind is for: your thinking and the finished result, in one place.

The app launches, funded by the people who use it. The first founding members help decide what comes next.

Why it exists
I didn't want a bigger toolbox. I wanted the board to make the first move. My time should go into thinking, not arranging boxes.

What we believe

Four notes on our wall.

01

Simple over complete.

If a feature makes SketchMind more cluttered, we do not build it.

02

Useful AI, no gimmicks.

We would rather switch a feature off than ship something half-done.

03

The AI does the heavy lifting.

So the screen can stay light. We are not trying to be a design tool.

04

People stay in charge.

Payments, support and anything that really matters are handled by us, not a bot.
