FounderDNA turns one live pitch into a structured behavioural read. How strong the founder is, how far to trust the read and what kind of founder this is. It reports. You decide.
Leading investment teams and programmes use
FounderDNA to read founders earlier in the pipeline.
FounderDNA reads how a founder holds conviction, handles pressure, commands the numbers and answers the hard question. Signal a deck cannot carry.
Conviction is how strong the read is. Signal Integrity is how far to trust it. Two founders at the same height are not the same bet if one earned it clean and one earned it slippery. Most tools give you one number. One number hides the second question.
Axis one. How strong the behavioural read is, from 0 to 100, in four bands cut at 80, 70 and 60.
Axis two. How far the read can be trusted. High, Qualified or Low. Built from the forensic layer.
A weak primary cluster or a Candour Flag can pull a band down. Nothing ever buys a band up.
Four stages that turn one live session into a cited behavioural report, ready for your investment committee.
An eighteen minute guided session that captures how the founder thinks, decides, concedes and holds conviction under challenge.
Seven fixed clusters and thirty two dimensions, weighted for the founder's stage. Every score carries the moment in the session that earned it.
Four instruments read the transcript as evidence. Claims cross checked, composure tracked, evasion logged, proof posture recorded. They resolve into one Signal Integrity state.
A conviction band, a signal integrity state and an archetype. Plus every omission from the session, listed as an open item with the exact question that closes it in diligence.
Four instruments read the transcript as evidence and resolve into one Signal Integrity state. They sit beside the Conviction score. They are never added to it, because the same behaviour should never be counted twice.
Each instrument reads independently. Together they resolve into
one Signal Integrity state, High, Qualified or Low. Nothing here can raise a conviction band. A
cited breach can lower one.
The archetype is the shape across the seven clusters, not the height. Eight patterns in the core library, from the Hustling Visionary to the Steward. A founder is matched to one by their signature, never labelled by a human.
Persuasion and Resilience high, Financial low.
Market and Authenticity high, Persuasion lower.
Financial, Market and Leadership balanced high.
Financial and Communication high, Passion lower.
Resilience and Execution high, Vision lower.
Leadership, Strategic and Execution high and even.
Vision, Passion and Persuasion high. Focus lower.
Authenticity as governance, Financial and Communication high.
The archetype is the shape, not the height. Financial, Market and Leadership balanced high is the Industry Builder signature.
Each investor is built to test founders through a different lens, from grant application to public markets readiness. Six AI personas. Not real individuals.
FounderDNA adapts to how you evaluate, so you can invest with clarity and confidence.
You set up a form and sit through every call. FounderDNA runs the pitches and scores them on one rubric. It hands you the evidence. You keep the decision.
Structured behavioural analysis, an AI investor built for the stage, and one consistent
rubric across
every founder you see. Before you spend a minute in the room.
