The problem.
A specific user, a meaningful need, and a clear explanation of the current alternative. The sharper the problem, the more useful the conversation.

01 / HOW WE THINKStart with the problem.
Start with the problem.
Stay with the founder.
We want to understand why a company should exist. Who has the problem? What do they do today? What changes when the product works?
We’re interested in the insight a founder brings to those questions, and the practical work required to turn that insight into a useful product.
02 / THE LENSESTHE PRINCIPLES IN PRACTICE
Four ways into the opportunity.
The product.
What the software does, what exists now, and what a focused next version should achieve. Show a demo or prototype if one is available.
UTILITY / PRODUCT CHOICES / EVIDENCEThe engineering.
The important technical constraints: data, integration, reliability, infrastructure, and the work required to get the product into people’s hands.
TECHNICAL RISK / SCOPE / EXECUTIONThe partnership.
The kind of support you need, the milestone ahead, and how capital or engineering could help. We look for a structure that is clear on both sides.
NEXT MILESTONE / CONTRIBUTION / ALIGNMENTThe pitch starts the conversation.
The substance moves it forward.
