Founder diligence

The 12 questions investors will ask before they say yes.

Real diligence. Honest answers. A 12-minute mirror you control.

No email gate to see your results.

How it works.

1
Pick your stage.
Idea, building, raising. Different stage, different questions. The diligence is calibrated to where you actually are.
2
Answer 12 questions.
They are uncomfortable. That is the point. The question you are most tempted to skip is the one investors are most likely to ask.
3
Get your gap report.
Your three biggest gaps. What investors will see. What to do about it. A score card you can save, share with a co-founder, or send to the investor who asked you to take it.

Find out if it has the bones of a real company before you spend a year on it.

Make sure you are starting in the right place. The wrong first move costs months.

Find out why the answer keeps being no, before the next pitch.

Find what investors will tear apart, in private, before they do.

Problem evidence. Customer specificity. Product clarity. Economics. Team and execution. Strategy and timing.

The same six things every seed and Series A diligence is actually testing, asked the way investors actually ask them.

Is this free?: Yes. No paywall, no email gate before you see your results.
Will my answers be shared?: Only if you choose to. Sharing with an investor is opt-in, every time. Sharing with a co-founder requires their explicit acceptance.
What happens after I complete it?: You see your gap report. You can save it, share with a co-founder, or send to the investor who asked you to take it. If your gaps look like a Phase 1 engagement fits, we will reach out within 48 hours. No pitch in between.
How long does it take?: About 12 minutes. The questions are short. The thinking is what takes time.
Why should I trust the diagnostic?: The questions come from real seed and Series A diligence patterns, founder post-mortem data, and the engagements we run with paying clients. It is a calibrated mirror, not a quiz.
