Evidence-based pitch scoring

Stop paying for meetings that were never going to work.

Founders find out where they will get stopped before they book the flight. Investors only open companies inside their own sector and stage. Every conclusion has to point back to something in the founder's own material.

Read your deck the way an investor will

Free to try — three scoring runs and one publish included. The report is yours first; you decide if members ever see it.

Choose better. Protect what you already backed.

Filter new deals, then keep checking portfolio companies for AI, market and next-round risk. Every private review ends with actions.

2 conclusions had nothing in the material behind them. They are flagged, not counted against the score.

Illustrative example. Not a real company.

The real cost

A meeting that was never going to happen still costs both sides.

Nobody prices the deck rebuild, the flight, the forty minutes spent finding out you were never in range.

For founders
Today
  • A new version of the deck for every investor you meet
  • You fly out, and all you get back is “let's stay in touch”
  • No way to tell who actually invests in your sector and stage
Here
  • You see the objection before the investor does
  • You walk in with the gap already filled
  • You only appear in front of investors who care about your sector
For investors
Today
  • Forty minutes in before you realise it was never in range
  • Founders who can't explain dilution or the next round bar
  • An old checklist that says nothing about AI exposure
Here
  • Out-of-range companies never reach your list
  • A structured read with the evidence attached, before the call
  • Every project passed through the AI substitution and copy-time checks
Where we stand

We are not a filter. We are a repair shop.

Most evaluation systems exist to produce a reason to say no. Ours does the opposite. A low score is not the end of the conversation — it is a list. It tells you which document is missing, which number has nothing behind it, which part of the argument does not survive a second reading.

Whether a company makes it often comes down to something small: whether anyone was willing to tell the founder, plainly and early, what was wrong. Most founders never get that. They get silence, and they interpret it however they can.

Every company that survives carries a payroll, a set of problems that actually got solved, and a group of people whose lives are steadier because it exists. That is the whole reason we build the standard this carefully.

Our job is not to sort founders into good and bad. It is to make the next version of the company stronger than this one.

A new yardstick

The old five questions no longer tell you enough.

Team, market, product, traction, business model. All still true, and all silent on the thing that decides most outcomes now.

Could a large model absorb this in 12–24 months?

Stated plainly, with the part of the business that is genuinely out of reach separated from the part that is not.

How long would it take a competent team to copy it?

Not whether it is hard, but how many months of work and what would have to be rebuilt from scratch.

What is the company actually accumulating?

Data, distribution, workflow lock-in, regulatory position. Something that compounds, or nothing.

Is the money going where it should?

When software build costs eat too much of the raise, that is called out rather than glossed over.

Can the valuation travel far enough?

A profitable business is not automatically a fundable one. The report says which of the two this is.

And not the same sheet for everyone

A climate hardware company at pre-seed is not judged by a SaaS checklist. Each sector and stage has its own rubric, and they are revised as the ground moves.

What you get

Specific enough to act on tomorrow.

Founders
  • A score per dimension, with the reasoning

    Not a verdict. The argument behind it, so you can disagree with it.

  • A list of what your material is missing

    The exact document or number that would move the weakest score.

  • The next-round bar and your most fragile link

    What the following investor will demand, and where you break first.

  • Full control over who sees it

    The report is private until you publish it. You can keep it private forever.

Investors
  • Deal flow filtered to your sectors and stages

    Set it once. Everything outside your range stays out of your list.

  • Conclusions you can trace to the source

    Anything the material does not support is flagged and left out of the score.

  • The questions still worth asking

    A diligence list per project, plus the founder's own written response.

  • A private deal room and a valuation sandbox

    Including decks you received elsewhere. Nobody else can see that room.

  • A health check for companies you already backed

    See what is slipping, why it matters, and what has to change before the next round.

Portfolio Health

Writing the cheque does not mean the risk stops.

A company can lose its edge quietly: a competitor moves faster, customers change how they buy, or a team keeps paying people to do work AI now handles. Re-read the latest evidence before those changes become a crisis.

Confirm your email and tell us whether you are raising, investing, or both.

2
Upload your material, or set your focus

Deck, financials and technical files together. Investors pick sectors, stages and cheque size.

3
Read the memo, or open your matched list

Founders get the scored report. Investors get deal flow already inside their range.

4
Keep improving after the cheque

Investors can re-check portfolio companies as new material arrives and act before the next round.

Where the line is

Things we will not do.

We don't sell lists

Founder material is never traded. An investor's own deal room is visible to that investor alone.

We don't use a low score to dismiss a company

Dimensions the material doesn't cover are marked as uncovered and left out of the score, not quietly counted against you.

We don't make the decision for the investor

We supply the evidence and the open questions. The judgement stays with a person.

  • A low score always arrives with the specific list of what would fix it.
  • Every conclusion can be traced back to a line in the material you submitted.
  • The standard keeps being rewritten as sectors change. It is not one sheet forever.

Every company that survives is somebody's job.
