Tool 20 — Free, no sign-up
Score your pitch before we do.
Twenty questions, the same ones we ask in the first call. Answer honestly, because the version you send us gets marked by someone who has read four hundred of these.
The link carries your twenty answers. Send it to a co-founder and argue about the scores.
Caveats
- The weights are ours. Another publisher weights the team higher and the market lower, and a platform-first publisher barely looks at the business section.
- A high score is not a yes and a low score is not a no. We have signed a 48 and passed on an 81. The score tells you what a first call will feel like, not what the answer will be.
- Every answer is stored in this browser only. Nothing is sent anywhere, including to us.
- Scoring yourself generously is free and costs you the meeting. The anchors are deliberately concrete so that “2” is hard to fake.
