Wasting Time Pitching? You’re Probably Not Fundable Yet.
Most founders don’t fail to raise because of their idea.
They fail because they’re not investor-ready.
I’ve been around early-stage investing, involved with multiple angel syndicates and networks, and I keep seeing the same mistakes:
Weak positioning
No clear narrative
Wrong expectations from investors
I’m doing 10 paid audits + networking + connects comprehensive giveaway this week:
→ I’ll review your pitch/startup
→ Tell you honestly if you’re fundable or not
→ And what exactly needs fixing
→ Most importantly, connecting you with insiders in angel syndicates and networks to eventually move to warm intros and further pitching.
No fluff. No sugarcoating.
If you're raising (or planning to), comment or DM.
Paid, but worth it if you're serious.
The offer bundles two things that carry very different risk for the buyer. An audit is yours to deliver: you read the deck, you give a verdict, it's done. Warm intros depend on someone else saying yes. If both sit under one price, a founder who pays and gets no intro will feel shortchanged even when the audit itself was good.
Worth separating them in the copy: here is what you get for certain, here is what may follow if the audit goes well.
The other gap is the price and the format. You're selling something paid and the post doesn't say what it costs, how long it takes, or whether the verdict arrives as a call or a written document. Serious buyers filter on that before they DM anyone.
Of the audits you've already run, how many turned into an actual intro? And does the founder pay the same whether you conclude they're fundable or not?
Good questions to ask, and yes good insights. No one can guarantee warm intros, because as you said it depends on other person saying yes, only thing guaranteed is - me initiating intro mails to real connections I have. Why I have combined both? Because if in my audit, if I find a startup is fundable, then why charge extra just to introduce them to angel connections I have as I am part of angel community too, it's just morally correct for startup community. But if it's not fundable, then no point in initiating mails, so I request them to work as per audited report and results, and next audit remains free, if they pass it they get warm intros simple. Regarding pricing, it's one simple direct pricing - I charge 750 USD per startup audit, it takes somewhere between 2-3 weeks of thorough analysis of market, their product, GTM, financial evaluation etc. They get a detailed analytical report along with answer to if they are fundable or not. If they are fundable, they get their moats details, and warm intros. If they are not, they get details of red flags and how they can be solved. Simple, finance is actually simple, just some of our industry insiders made it complicated, to make more money without actually inventing anything. Good day.
customers is the best metric. And everyone expects that today as dev cost has dropped because of AI
