The same questions VCs ask in the first meeting.
Answer them once. Get the rehearsal sheet before you sit across from anyone.
A real customer, or a category?
We test the specificity VCs probe in the first sixty seconds — role, industry, the exact moment of pain.
Painkiller or vitamin?
How acute the pain is. We measure the gap between a feature and a company.
Right founder, right idea?
Lived experience reads differently from ambition. We tell you which one yours sounds like — and how to harden the weaker side.
How far have you walked?
Interviews, prototypes, design partners, pre-orders, revenue. Every step you've taken raises your priors.
Who tried this — and what killed them?
Two or three named startups in adjacent shape, with the lessons you should learn before writing a line of code.
Your next move, in one sentence.
Build, validate, pivot, or sharpen — in a single line you can paste into a pitch.
Tell us your idea.
Ten questions, one per screen. Roughly four minutes. Resume anytime — your draft is held locally.
Get scored.
The Jaxel Intelligence layer scores your idea against the patterns Silicon Valley pattern-matches on. Twelve signals, one report.
You decide. We walk it in.
Score 85+ and you'll be invited to choose whether to proceed. If you approve it, our team and Partners hand-carry your idea to OMNES, 1001VC, Orange Ventures, One Way Ventures, or wherever else it fits — under a signed Mutual NDA. Nothing reaches any investor until you authorize it.
