The problem

Stop pitching on hope and finding out the mismatch on the third meeting.

A fundraise is hundreds of hours, and most of it goes to investors who were never going to invest. The fund is out of money, the ticket is too small, your stage is wrong, or they already back a direct competitor. That intel is knowable up front, but it is scattered across the web, half out of date, and takes hours per firm to assemble.

What it does

One question, answered honestly

Is this investor worth your time, and if so, how do you win them? Every report leads with a clear verdict, backed by a fit score out of 100.

Worth applying

A strong fit. Lead with it and move fast while the timing is right.

Conditional

A real shot with caveats. The report tells you exactly what to clear first.

Poor fit

Save the weeks. A full, honest report that leads with the mismatch and why.

How it works

A pipeline built to be accurate first

Research, verification, scoring, writing, and delivery. Each pass exists to keep the verdict honest.

Verdict and reason

Worth applying, conditional, or poor fit, with the decisive reason behind it.

Fit highlights

The strongest reasons this investor is a match for your company and round.

Founder parallelsMost valued

Real links between the fund and your background. If there is no genuine parallel, the report says so.

What they offer

The value beyond the cheque, from network to operational support.

Terms and process

Instrument, application steps, typical timeline, and the known gotchas.

Watch-outs to clarify

What to confirm before and during the conversation, flagged up front.

Application tips and hook

A narrative hook specific to this fund and your company, not generic advice.

Competitor overlap

If they already back a direct competitor, the report flags it and the implication.

Caveats and sources

Every unverified or missing data point is called out, and claims trace to a source.

The standard

Built to be accurate, not impressive

Hallucinated numbers are the one thing a report like this cannot afford. So the rules are strict.

Null over guess

If a ticket size, fund size, or date is not in the research, the report says it is unknown. It never invents a number.

Every claim is sourced

Material facts trace back to where they came from, so you can check the work rather than take it on faith.

Honest verdicts

A poor-fit investor produces a full report that leads with the mismatch. The verdict never exceeds what the fit score supports.

Your notes are data, not direction

Intel you add about an investor is treated strictly as information about them, never as a steer toward a kinder verdict.
