Founder Check

We send a 6-digit code here to confirm the address. Use one you check.

Who the fund should reach out to. Defaults to the first founder.

Include the country code, e.g. +91 98xxxxxxxx. Reviewers use this to set up a call.

Legal or working name. If unregistered, the name you go by.

Where the product actually is today, not where it will be next quarter.

Omit rather than guess. A dead link reads worse than none.

Free-text label for display only, e.g. "Clinical intelligence / precision medicine". Not used for matching.

The controlled taxonomy used for program and investor matching. Prefer listing the BROADER sector alongside a specific one so you match more programs -- a payments company should give `payments` AND `fintech`; developer tooling should give `devtools` AND `infra`.

Hold ⌘ / Ctrl to pick more than one.

City and country where the team actually works.

ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, e.g. IN, US, DE. Used for geography eligibility.

One sentence. What it is, for whom. No adjectives you cannot defend.

The product or service, concretely. What a user actually does with it.

The pain being solved, and who feels it today.

What you understand about this problem that most people working on it do not.

The sharpest possible description of the first user. "Everyone" is a wrong answer.

Your durable edge. Assume a competitor reads this application.

What changed recently that makes this work now and not five years ago.

What you would most want to be wrong about. Candour scores well here.

TAM/SAM in plain words, with how you arrived at it. Bottom-up beats a analyst report.

A working demo, video, or sandbox. Must resolve -- it is checked.

Reviewers use this to judge how tested the relationship is.

Define what a user is if it is ambiguous. Do not count waitlist as users.

Include the period -- monthly or annual.

e.g. "18% MoM over the last 4 months".

The single number you are most proud of, with context.

Named pilots or letters of intent carry weight at pre-revenue stage.

A capital-efficiency signal. Low burn with real traction is a strong story.

Declare honestly. `aiAgent` means an agent is filing on a human founder's behalf; `aiFounded` means the company itself is AI-run. Follow-up questions adapt to this.
