Most raises don’t fail in the meeting. They fail before it.

Average time an investor spends on a pitch deck.DocSend & Harvard Business School, 2021
You have less than four minutes to make a case that took months to build. Most decks don’t fail because the company is weak — they fail because the signal doesn’t land. Investors rarely tell you why they passed. Laelapx does, before it costs you the meeting.
The Fundability Snapshot
01 — Score
One number. Honestly earned.
Your startup is scored against a rubric built for your stage — problem, solution, market, team, traction, go-to-market, and the ask.
02 — Signal
See where it’s strong.
Every section gets its own read, so you know which parts of your story carry the round — and which ones are dead weight.
03 — Gaps
Know what gets you a pass.
The specific gaps most likely to cost you a meeting, ranked by severity — each with why it matters and what closing it looks like.
04 — Fit
Pitch who already fits.
Investors whose stage, sectors, and check size match your round right now — so outreach starts where fit already exists.

What we are
Not access. Intelligence.
A pitch coach
An objective read
We don’t tell you what to say. We show you what’s landing and what isn’t, against what investors at your stage screen for.
An email list
Thesis-matched fit
Not a spreadsheet of inboxes. Investors whose stage, sectors, and check size fit your company right now.
A guarantee
Honest intelligence
We don’t promise funding. We tell you where you stand, so you can decide whether to pitch, fix, or wait.
Your raise starts here
Stop guessing.Start knowing.
