OVERVIEWTwo-thirds of North Americans report low life satisfaction, yet fewer than 1% achieve self-actualization. Existing solutions such as coaching, journaling, and wellness apps fall short. Boardroom Labs incubated Campfire, an AI-powered journaling and coaching platform that combines structured reflection, personalized AI insights, and optional human guidance to help people build clarity, confidence, and direction at scale.

The ProblemMillions of people feel stuck, overwhelmed, and uncertain about their direction. They’re navigating career pressure, identity shifts, and major life decisions in a world that offers endless choice — but very little guidance. While the desire for clarity and purpose is widespread, most tools are either inaccessible, unstructured, or superficial. Coaching is effective but expensive, journaling is powerful but often directionless, and digital wellness apps tend to optimize for habits or mood rather than long-term growth. The result is a growing self-actualization gap: people want to grow, but lack practical, affordable ways to reflect, make sense of their experiences, and move forward with intention.
What We Built-
Campfire transforms journaling from an unstructured habit into a guided, cumulative growth experience. Users progress through multi-day Journeys with prompts designed to surface insight, build momentum, and translate reflection into action.
-
Campfire integrates optional access to professional coaches, allowing users to layer human support on top of AI-guided self-reflection. This model expands access to coaching while unlocking diversified revenue streams.
-
From discovery and validation to product design, financial modeling, and go-to-market planning, Campfire was built as an investable, scalable venture, complete with a refined ICP, acquisition strategy, and fundraising materials to support future growth.
OutcomesCampfire emerged as a market-validated venture with strong early demand. User research with 50+ participants and the onboarding of 10+ professional coaches confirmed interest in a hybrid AI-human model. A waitlist of 200+ prospective users signaled a clear appetite for structured self-development, while the MVP launched with 15+ guided “Journeys.” The venture’s model defines a clear path to scale, with projections showing potential for $100M+ in annual revenue and establishing a new, scalable layer in healthtech focused on self-actualization.
