Acceptance
Most seed-funded startups don’t make it to Series A within 2 years.
And if you’re a founder who’s been overlooked before?
The drop-off is even steeper, usually because the outreach isn’t landing or the story isn’t showing what investors need to see.
You don’t have months to burn.
This programme keeps you focused on the signals that actually move a Series A round forward.
Only ~15% of seed-funded startups reached Series A within 24 months in the 2022 cohort (Carta).
Your Investor-Grade Series A Report
You start with a clear, investor-grade report — built from a simple two-step assessment:
Stage 1: Fit check
Do you look like the companies investors are backing in your vertical?
And if you don’t?
That’s fine, it just means the story needs to be clearer and the evidence needs to hit a little harder. Different isn’t a problem. Unclear is.Stage 2: Deep dive
We look at your traction, burn, CAC/LTV, retention, funnel shape, revenue quality, team strength, and growth engine — the parts that decide whether a round moves quickly or stalls.Your report shows you:
Where you’re already ahead
Where the evidence needs tightening
What Series A investors expect in your sector
How you compare with founders who’ve closed Series A in the last 18 months
This becomes the starting point for the programme.
