Our Philosophy

Product-market fit isn’t the same as venture-capitalist fit. 70% of funded startups run out of cash prior to raising their next round.

VCs hesitate to invest because they doubt a venture’s ability to scale, and even those founders who are successful often spend over 6 months scrambling to build the conviction they need to close.

By proactively bridging the founder-investor information gap, we can help founders raise capital faster.
