The founder knowledge map · live · updated weekly
Every path a startup can take — customer types, GTM motions, moats, pricing — with honest tradeoffs on one map. And beneath it, the live layer: every investor provably deploying, computed from announced deals, never self-reported.

Computed, never claimed.
Announced a deal in the last 60 days, or closed a new fund in the last 90. Fresh dry powder, verifiable in public.
Last announced deal 60–120 days ago. Could be between cheques — or between funds. Pitch with eyes open.
Nothing announced in 120+ days. We show the receipts, you decide. Funds can fix their status with one announcement link.
Statuses reflect announced activity — a floor, not a ceiling. Announcements lag closings by 4–8 weeks, and some funds don’t announce every deal. Every deal we cite links to its public source. No fund can pay, ask, or argue its way to a green dot.
The map is the wedge. The community is the point.
Founder-reported experiences with every fund — response times, ghost rates, how the partner actually behaves in diligence. Verified founders, aggregated honestly, with a right-of-reply for every fund.
