Every platform helps founders reach you. None of them asked what makes you say yes.
How the world measures founder fundability.
So we asked. Solo GPs, family offices, and funds told us the same thing: the problem was never flow — many see 50 to 150 decks a month — it’s signal. What wastes their time is decks instead of verified revenue, volume instead of mandate fit, and months of diligence to disprove a number the founder should have proven up front. I could build the answer because I’ve sat where you sit — an LP in two U.S. B2B SaaS funds and a GP who raised committed capital on my name; an M&A adviser since 2007 whose fairness opinion cleared a HKD 46.5M listing; and the founder on the other side of the table too.

One side has money and no bench;
the other has merit and no legibility.
Verdict™ is the bench and the legibility.
To make fundability the measure of private capital — a market where the right founder and the right money find each other on merit and signal, not network and access.
We score every founder on what investors actually fund, then match them to the capital that fits — at every stage of The $100M Path™.
Three things, in the order an investor decides: is it relevant, are the odds worth it, can I trust the numbers. FIT · ODDS · TRUST.
FIT · Mandate Match™
Only deals that fit.
Write your thesis once — sector, stage, cheque, the patterns you back and the ones you avoid. Every founder is scored against it before they reach you.
ODDS · ODDS Memo™
A read you can defend.
Every match arrives with a two-sided ODDS™ read — the case for, and the case against, plus the one thing that would make you pass and what would flip it.
TRUST · PathProven™
Numbers verified at the source.
Revenue pulled live from the founder’s payment processor, not their deck. You stop spending months disproving a claim and start deciding.
Your adviser sends you deals that pay his fee. Your network sends you their rejects.
That’s the private capital ecosystem as it exists. I built Verdict™ to replace it, from all three sides of the dysfunction: the venture investor watching bad deals pile up, the M&A adviser watching capital and value miss each other by inches, and the founder who worked out that the gap isn’t quality — it’s proof.
I’ve been the investor deals cross the table to, the adviser in the IC room where a fundable company got passed for answering the wrong question, and the founder chasing meetings that never replied. That asymmetry — between what founders present and what you need to see to act — is the gap Verdict™ closes.
“The best deal I ever saw die wasn’t killed by the numbers. It was killed by the wrong room.”
Verdict™ fixes the room. Every founder is scored before they’re seen. Every investor receives only deals that fit their mandate.

The structural boundary
You always know exactly who’s accountable for your deal.
Below $10M ARR, the work is thematic and automation is sufficient — no institutional framework requires a credentialled professional to be liable at this scale, so Verdict™ operates without one, by design. Above $10M ARR, the deal size, investors, and governance all shift, and institutional mandates require a named human who carries professional liability.
Below $10M ARR → Verdict™
The work is thematic and repeatable. Automation is the honest tool here — so you are never charged for governance the deal doesn’t need.
Above $10M ARR → VALLARIS™
A named professional signs the valuation and carries the liability. Visit VALLARIS™ →
Questions investors ask.
I already get 50 to 150 decks a month. What does Verdict™ change?
Your problem was never flow — it's signal. Point the decks you already receive at your First Look™ link and every one comes back PitchScored against the 12 dimensions investors actually fund. Only the ones that clear the bar and fit your mandate reach you, delivered as an ODDS Memo™ in your inbox — the case for and the case against already written. You stop screening decks and start reading verdicts.
How are founders verified before I see them?
Through First Look™: raw decks are run through PitchScore™, a 12-dimension score of what investors actually fund, and revenue is verified at the source through PathProven MRR™ — pulled live from the founder's payment processor, not their deck. Every founder who reaches you cleared 75 and had the numbers confirmed. You're reading pre-qualified signal, not sorting a haystack.
Can I trust the revenue numbers?
Yes, because they're not self-reported. PathProven MRR™ pulls revenue directly from the founder's payment processor, so what you read is verified at the source. Investors told us their trust in self-reported revenue was effectively zero — verified-from-source is the fix, and it's why diligence stops being months spent disproving a number.
How is Verdict™ different from PitchBook, Affinity, or a CRM?
Those give you more haystack — more data, more contacts, more to sort. Verdict™ gives you the needle: founders scored against your written mandate and verified at the source, delivered with a two-sided ODDS™ read you can defend. It's a decision layer, not another database.
Can a founder pay to reach me?
No. Founders are surfaced to you by score and mandate fit, and there's no paid placement in either direction. No adviser sits between you and the founder — both register directly and are matched on merit.
What does Verdict™ cost an investor?
Scout is free — browse matched flow and read ODDS Memo™ previews. Analyst is US$500/month for full ODDS Memo™ reports, unlimited First Look™ links, and priority introductions. Institutional is US$1,500/month for a whole investment team, custom reporting, and quarterly market briefings. Investors never pay a success fee; that's founder-side and capped.
Who calibrated the scoring, and why should I trust it?
Siong Yoong — a Chartered Valuer and Appraiser (CVA) and an appointed board member of the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC), in M&A since 2007 with over US$2.5B in aggregate transaction value, an LP in two U.S. B2B SaaS funds. His fairness opinion cleared a HKD 46.5M Hong Kong Stock Exchange listing and his forensic-accounting evidence was preferred by the High Court of Singapore. Every threshold was set from a transaction that closed or died — not a published framework.
Is this just deal flow, or does it help me decide?
It helps you decide. Every matched deal comes with an ODDS Memo™ — a two-sided read stating the case for and the case against, including the single strongest falsifiable reason to pass and what would flip it. You walk into the call already knowing what to test, so you reach a defensible yes, or a faster no.
What happens above $10M ARR?
Verdict™ keeps scoring, matching and tracking the company through every stage, including above $10M ARR. From Stage 6 you can ask VALLARIS™ for a signed report or for M&A and growth advice. The numbers stay on Verdict™. VALLARIS™ comes in only when you ask, and a named professional signs that work.
I'm a founder — where do I start?
Get your PitchScore™ — free, no card, about 60 seconds. It scores your raise across the 12 dimensions investors weigh, names the one gap dragging it, and once you clear 75 you enter the database to be matched to investors whose mandate you already fit.
