Structured first read

The same ten-dimension scorecard on every startup, each score tied to the founder's own evidence, with the gaps named.

Founder and team videos, a product walk-through, and the working product itself.

Your fund on the page

Fund name, focus and portfolio count on a public profile, if you want inbound from founders.

06

Judge and scout

Sit on competition panels and cohort reviews to see companies before they are raising.

02  /  How it works

Four steps, one of them ours.

  1. Create an account and apply as a fund
  2. Our team verifies the profile
  3. Your desk opens
  4. Request introductions; founders accept

03  /  Questions

Asked before signing up.

Can several people at the fund use the desk?

Each person signs in with their own account and applies with the fund's name, so every view is attributable — founders can see who opened their profile.

Do you run rounds or pool money?

No. No round terms are published, no money moves through the platform, and there is no pooled vehicle.

What does it cost?

Applying is free. If a fund plan is shown above, the desk opens once you are on it.

How current is the information?

Founders re-score as they progress; you always see their latest scorecard and brief.

Ground rulesFounder material is shared in confidence under an undertaking every member accepts. Investability Scores are the platform's readiness feedback to founders — not investment advice, a rating or a recommendation. The platform does not arrange or negotiate investments, does not hold or move anyone's money, publishes no round terms and takes no fee on funds raised. Anything agreed with a founder is between the two of you, after your own diligence.
