FAQ
Common questions
What is IRL?
IRL means Investor Readiness Level. It shows what investors will question before they take you seriously.
Is the IRL check free?
Yes. The basic check is free.
Do you help with fundraising?
Yes. We improve your pitch, proof, traction story, and investor access. We do not promise funding.
Do I need traction already?
No. You need a clear problem, a product direction, and the will to test the market.
Can you help with PMF?
Yes. PMF Crash Test and PMF Discovery are core parts of our work.
Do you work with grants?
Yes. We help founders find grant and education funding options. Selected teams may get extra support.
