You're in. 44 questions, seven short sections, about 15 minutes if you know your numbers. It saves as you type, so you can stop and come back on the same browser. Your report lands in your inbox within 48 hours.
Answer these the way you would to an investor who has thirty seconds — not the way you would to a customer. We compare what you say against what you actually have, so please don't polish it for us.
Exactly as you currently say it out loud. If the sentence has become two sentences, give us both.
Job title and company type. "Ops managers at 50–500 truck freight brokerages" is a strategy; "SMBs" is not.
The current workflow: who does it, how long it takes, what it costs.
Be honest if the answer is "nothing much" — that is one of the most useful things you can tell us.
Round construction is where good companies quietly become unfundable. These six answers decide more of the score than founders expect.
This changes how everything else is scored. You should not be judged on Series A metrics at pre-seed.
Including angels, grants, notes and SAFEs. Enter 0 if none.
"Undecided" and "letting the market set it" are both real answers.
The measurable state of the business when the money runs out. A number and a date beats a list of activities.
Real numbers. Rounding is fine; inventing is not — the report is only as good as this page, and an inflated number here produces a report that flatters you and helps you not at all.
Enter 0 if pre-revenue. Non-recurring revenue? Use last month × 12.
Enter 0 if you had none.
Annualised, per customer.
What happens to revenue from an existing customer over a year.
The single thing you would put on slide one. A named logo, a retention number, a growth rate, a signed LOI.
Investors are underwriting whether this can become very large, not whether it is good. Those are different questions and most decks only answer the second.
Include the honest ones — a spreadsheet, an internal team, an agency, doing nothing.
Tick everything that genuinely compounds as you grow. "Nothing structural yet" is a common and honest answer.
The segment you can realistically sell into — not the industry total.
What changed in the last 18–24 months — a cost curve, a regulation, a technology, a behaviour — that was not true before.
At the earliest stages this is most of the decision, and it is the section founders most often leave as a list of logos.
Name, role, and the one thing in their history that matters for this specific market.
The sentence only you can say. Not "we are passionate about the space".
Most "we can't raise" problems turn out to be targeting problems. These numbers are how we tell the difference between a company problem and a process problem.
Tick everything on your list today, even if you are not sure it belongs there.
Enter 0 if you have not started. Starting from zero is the best position to be reading this report from.
Paste the actual wording if you have it. The phrasing tells us more than the summary.
Whatever you just thought of and hesitated to type — that one.
Last section. These four answers are where most of the report's specificity comes from.
You'll get the full Fundraise Gap Report at this address. We don't add you to anything.
Copy it straight out of your last cold email or intro request. Unedited is more useful than polished — we are reading it the way an investor would on a phone, half-distracted.
For example: "first cheque committed", "lead identified", "round closed", "decide whether to raise at all".
Optional, and the single most useful thing you can give us — it lets us compare what the company is against what you are communicating. PDF, PPTX or Keynote, up to 8MB.

Not sent anywhere else. Used once, to write your report.
Ask the real one. This is the question we make sure the report answers directly.
Before you submit: the report is only as honest as this form. If you rounded a number up, go back and round it down — a report built on the real numbers is the only kind worth reading.
