For accelerator founders

Got into an accelerator? Get investor-ready before demo day.

You have about 20 days before demo day, and every investor in the room is about to see the same deck. Score your raise on the 12 dimensions investors actually fund — free — and know exactly where a partner will push back before they do.

The 20-day window

The bottleneck isn't access anymore. It's legibility.

Founders now reach more investors and get fewer meetings for it — the average seed founder contacted 66 investors in 2023, up from 48 a year earlier, while average meetings set fell to 38 from 56 (DocSend Annual Seed Report, Dec 2023). More outreach, less traction. The deck that used to open doors now gets 27% less attention per read.

So the founders who convert in their window aren't the ones who email the most investors. They're the ones an investor can read in seconds — where the story, the stage, and the team line up with what that investor funds. That legibility is what you can build in the 20 days you have, and it's the only thing that compounds when the whole cohort is pitching the same week.

Verdict™ scores your raise on the 12 dimensions investors actually fund, tells you the three that are weakest, and gives you one fix for each. You walk into demo day knowing what the room will see — and fixing it first.

Start free

Score your raise in about 60 seconds.

Tell us where you got in, then drop your deck. Your acceptance becomes a verified credential you control — it flags the timing to on-thesis investors, and it never changes your score.

No card. No account required. Nothing is scraped — you drop your own deck. You control what any investor sees.

Then we sit down with you — before demo day.

Your score comes with a free 15-minute prep review with me or a Verdict™ specialist. Not a sales call — we open your actual score, walk the three weakest dimensions, and fix one with you live, so you know what to change before an investor sees it.

Who reviews your prep

“I've judged founders pitching for a shot at a global final. I know within the first minute what a room decides about a founder — and I'd rather you hear it from me, with time to fix it, than from an investor after demo day.”

Questions founders ask

Straight answers.

Should I raise before demo day if my accelerator says not to?
This isn't about raising early — it's about being ready. We score your raise on the 12 dimensions investors fund so you walk into demo day knowing exactly where a partner will push back. If an on-thesis investor wants to talk before demo day, that's your call — never a push to take money early.
Is my PitchScore™ shared with investors automatically?
No. You control visibility. Nothing is shown to an investor until you confirm it, and you can remove it anytime. Your accelerator acceptance is a verified credential you choose to display — it flags the timing, it never changes your score.
What does the free score actually measure?
PitchScore™ reads your deck against 12 dimensions — the same things an investor scores when deciding whether to take the call. It returns the three weakest dimensions and one fix for each, in about 60 seconds. No card, and nothing is scraped.
Does accelerator acceptance raise my score?
No — and that's deliberate. Acceptance is a timing and credibility signal that helps on-thesis investors find you before demo day. Whether you're fundable is still decided on merit, by the 12 dimensions. Pedigree routes attention; the score earns the check.
Who is behind Verdict™?
Verdict™ is built by Verdict Private Limited and founded by Siong Yoong — an M&A adviser since 2007, a Chartered Valuer and Appraiser, and a judge on the Hult Prize Singapore Nationals 2026 panel (NUS Enterprise). Real name, real face, verifiable on LinkedIn.
It's free — what's the catch?
There isn't one. The PitchScore™ is free — no card, no account required. Verdict™ earns when founders succeed and from optional paid tools, never by selling your data. The fee disclosure is public.
I can just sign up on the main site — why this page?
Same platform, same free PitchScore™, same account — this page just fast-tracks the accelerator timing. It captures your accelerator and demo-day date up front, so on-thesis investors can find you before demo day and your prep review is prioritised inside your window. Sign up the usual way and you get the identical score — just add your accelerator in your dashboard for the same timing benefits. No wrong door.
