What the reports tell you

Three honest answers, before anyone else asks.

Each report says what is strong, what is thin and what to fix first.

Pitch Deck Check

See your deck the way an investor skims it.

The check reads every slide against the categories investors grade, scores the deck 0–100 and names the single issue that will cost you the meeting.

  • An honest verdict, not a pep talk
  • The slide and the line to fix first
  • A free account unlocks the slide-by-slide review
Validation Exam

Know whether the idea holds before you build it.

Six questions about the problem, the customer and how you win. The report grades eleven sections, from market to risk, and says what to test next.

  • A 0–100 score and a plain verdict
  • Where the idea is strong and where it is thin
  • The full report is filed in your data room with a free account
Investor Exam

Find the gaps before the first meeting does.

A live interview grades your raise across eleven diligence dimensions. You get a readiness score, the gaps to close and, with a free account, the investors who fit your round.

  • Graded like diligence, dimension by dimension
  • The gaps ranked, weakest first
  • Your first 20 investors researched free
