Summary

This AI report generator turns five startup inputs, stage, monthly revenue growth, cash runway, team size, and funding ask, into a pitch-readiness score out of 100. Each of four pillars, growth, runway, team sizing, and ask-to-stage fit, is benchmarked against typical ranges for your funding stage, then rolled into a verdict: Investor-ready, Close, Needs work, or Not yet. Built for founders prepping outreach, operators triaging which slide to fix first, and analysts running a quick check before a call. The score runs entirely in your browser and updates live as you adjust any field.

Pitch-readiness score

Fill in the fields above to generate your report.

    What you get before the first investor call

    The report gives you a single score, a verdict, and four section notes you can act on immediately: which pillar is weak, why, and what a stronger number looks like at your stage. Screenshot it, paste it into your data room notes, or use it to triage which slide needs another draft.

    • Pitch-readiness score out of 100
    • Verdict: Investor-ready, Close, Needs work, or Not yet
    • Section notes for growth, runway, team, and ask
    • Stage-adjusted benchmarks, not a flat rubric

    Methodology

    How the pitch-readiness score is built

    Growth, weighted first

    Month-over-month revenue growth carries 25 of the 100 points. Investors read flat or declining growth as a stall signal, regardless of stage.

    Runway sets the clock

    Under 6 months of runway compresses your negotiating position. The score treats 12+ months as the safe zone, per the standard fundraising-buffer rule.

    Team and ask, checked against stage norms

    Headcount and funding ask are compared to typical ranges for your stage, from pre-seed through Series B. Outliers in either direction get flagged, not penalized outright.

      Enter your numbers

      Stage, month-over-month growth, runway, team size, and funding ask. No account, no upload.

    2. 2

      Read the verdict

      The score updates as you type. Each of the four sections shows on target, watch, or weak.

    3. 3

      Fix the weak section first

      Section notes tell you which pillar to address before you circulate the deck, not after a partner meeting exposes it.

    Common questions

    Is this free to use?
    Yes. The calculation runs client-side in your browser. Nothing you enter is stored or sent to a server, aside from an anonymous tool-run ping used for aggregate usage stats.
    Where do the benchmark ranges come from?
    Growth tiers follow commonly cited top-quartile month-over-month benchmarks for early-stage startups. Runway tiers follow the standard 12 to 18 month fundraising-buffer rule. Team-size and round-size bands are approximated from typical pre-seed through Series B ranges reported by Y Combinator and Carta's private-market data.
    Does the score replace real due diligence?
    No. It is a directional self-check, not an investor memo. Use it to catch obvious weak spots before your first call, not as a substitute for a data room or a lawyer's review of your cap table.
    What if my vertical does not fit the default benchmarks?
    Capital-intensive verticals such as hardware, biotech, or infrastructure often run longer runway and larger asks than the defaults assume. Treat a weak ask-to-stage score as a flag to check against comparable rounds in your specific vertical, not an automatic red mark.
    Can I use this for a seed extension or bridge round?
    Yes. Set the stage to the round you are actually targeting. The team-size and ask bands adjust automatically.
    Why does a declining growth rate zero out that section?
    Because it removes the one variable investors weight most at this stage. A stall or decline in monthly revenue is the fastest way to lose a term sheet, so the model does not soften it.
    How is a funding ask above the typical range handled?
    It is flagged as watch, not weak, up to 50 percent over the stage ceiling; beyond that it drops to weak. A large ask is not automatically wrong if it buys a real milestone, but it invites sharper questions on use of funds.
    Does a high score guarantee a term sheet?
    No tool can guarantee that. A high score means your fundamentals will not be the reason a partner passes. Market timing, competitive dynamics, and the pitch itself still matter.
