A 3 week program, already battle-tested and proven by start-ups at every stage.

Are You Investable? (AYI) is a 3 week program — scheduled around your availability — and is already battle-tested by scores of first-time entrepreneurs and multi-business “serial” founders. It is steadily spreading more quickly into more founder / funder markets and ecosystems across the US.

Other programs stop at the door. We walk founders through it.

Many startup assistance companies and incubators fail at the most important task: actually connecting to the right investors and raising capital.

AYI and its AI-Powered Investor Matching System are unique in helping you discover the best-aligned and pre-interested matches with investors — matching with the type of investor and their true interests, the average deal size, working in your product category, the number of deals they do annually, and more — narrowing your list down to the most likely and direct sources of funding.

Success in startups and new businesses breeds interest.

We help organize and amplify your company's information, so you can move your story forward. Our goal is to help you connect to the best-aligned and most-likely funding sources. They are already out there, seeking to invest in companies just like yours.

Part of your success is to get your pitch deck in front of the right people. Our approach is simple, and built for founder success, helping you by gaining attention, and increasing industry interest — which in turn attracts friendly capital.

Providing separate tracks on the Founder / Team, and the Product or Service - builds one powerful story for Investors.

The programmatic AYI approach, and the many founder educational processes built in, are vastly improving real final matches for founders of all types and backgrounds, by systematically evaluating:

Are You Investable? assesses the product and the team separately, then merges the results to highlight each venture's true strengths and gaps. Using AI, the program sharpens the founder's updated pitch for investors, and quantifies the traits that most often define winning ventures in your category. Our system saves significant time, money, and frustration — while dramatically reducing mismatches with the wrong investors, while actually consolidating the typical due-diligence periods between founders, advisors, and investors.
