See if your startup checks out.
Foundcheck's engine cross-checks your claims against your own numbers, scores you against real funded startups (and a few legendary flops) so you can see exactly how you stack up against the competition, and returns a verdict, with the reasoning behind it. Have documents, or don't; either way, you get a real score.
No pitch deck or financial model yet? The quiz gets you a real Foundcheck Score in under 2 minutes. No documents required.

About Foundcheck
Live Beta: AI-powered scoring, real advisor insights, secure payments.
Foundcheck is a "truth engine" for startups: upload your pitch deck, business plan, financial model, and founder bios (or take the 2-minute quiz if you don't have those yet) and get scored across six categories (Team, Market, Traction, Financials, Consistency, and Risk) using logic that reads your actual numbers and claims, not random or fabricated output.
Your Foundcheck Score always comes from our deterministic rules engine, never an AI guess. Advisor commentary is AI-generated and grounded in your actual submission, and paid unlocks run through real Stripe payments. Foundcheck is not, and never will be, a licensed investment adviser, broker-dealer, or funding source: the Seed Funding page connects you with a real conversation with our team, and never extends an investment offer or funding decision.
