Founders preparing for their first investor meetings, accelerator applications, or demo days. This is not just feedback-it's a complete overhaul to make your deck investor-ready.
If you're wondering whether AI/ML can improve your product, automate processes, or if it's just hype-this assessment will give you clarity. No fluff, just practical technical guidance.
Not every idea works as a SaaS. I'll tell you honestly if your concept has recurring revenue potential, what the market looks like, and how to position it for success-or pivot if needed.
Because it's better to have a $99 reality check than waste 6 months and $50K building something that won't work. If your idea survives my attempts to kill it, you'll have confidence to move forward. If it doesn't, you saved yourself from a painful failure.
Founders who need flexible, on-demand CTO expertise. Whether you're stuck on a technical decision, need a second opinion on your architecture, want to discuss hiring your first engineer, or just need someone experienced to bounce ideas off-this is your hour to use however you need.
Please review these free resources before submitting. Pitch decks that do not include the basic structure will be declined without diving into the details.
β οΈ As a goal, I bring forward only startups that have a high chance of getting shortlisted for a meeting by the VC - if I'm not sure that you have more than 50% chance of getting an initial meeting, I would unfortunately decline your application. This is not a paid service - I will get paid by the VC in case you get funded.
Thank you for your submission. I'll review everything and get back to you within 48 hours. Check your email for confirmation.
Thank you for submitting your startup for VC scouting. I'll review your pitch deck and background carefully. If your startup meets the criteria, I'll be in touch within 5-7 business days to discuss next steps.
If your pitch needs work, I may reach out with suggestions to strengthen it before introducing you to VCs.
