Tool 03 · Stage Check

Who should you actually pitch?

Drop your URL and founder info. Get placed on the valuation curve, scored on 6 risk dimensions, and matched with funds actively investing at your stage.

Heads up: AI gut check, not a verdict. Built on the Valuation ∝ 1/Risk framework. Treat it as a second opinion — real fundraising still happens between humans.

We'll scrape your site to read your product, customers, and signals.

Founder-market fit is a big part of the signal. Add co-founders’ PDFs too — run the check once per founder if needed.
