WHAT WE LOOK FOR
Something real we can use
A product we can click, test, or see. Not a pitch for something that doesn't exist yet.
Revenue or contract signal
Someone paying you or a signed LOI tells us more than any model can.
Case studies or testimonies
Real users saying real things. Screenshots, quotes, retention data — show us the proof.
Culture + Resilience
Culture isn't a slide. It's retention, referrals, and how your team shows up when there's no pay, no progress, and no easy answers.
Shameless on customer acquisition
You know your CAC, you've talked to real people, you're not waiting for permission to grow.
Revenue per headcount
Lean teams generating real output. We care more about what each person produces than how many people you have.
WHAT WE DON'T CARE ABOUT
Stacked resumes
Where you went to school or what logos you've collected won't move us.
Pitch competition wins
Trophies don't translate. Customers do.
Unrealistic valuations
We've seen enough cap tables to know what early-stage software is worth.
Overconfidence and arrogance
The founders who've been humbled build better. Full stop.
Bloated advisor lists
Influencer namedropping and 14 advisors with no skin in the game signals vanity, not traction.
Unrealistic TAM numbers
If your market is "$2 trillion," you probably haven't found your real customer yet. Narrow is good.
