2

See where you stand

You get an AI pattern-analysis read across 4 positioning dimensions, with specific gaps called out — before you spend a rupee.

3

4

Get reviewed by a TiE expert

A TiE Charter Member with investing experience scores your questionnaire using a calibrated rubric. You receive written feedback within 3–5 business days.

5

Earn the VentureReady mark

6

Meet matched investors via TiE

TiE Bangalore routes your validated profile to matched investors and facilitates introductions. No cold outreach — TiE is the intermediary on both sides.

For Investors

Curated, validated
deal flow.

1

Apply for screened access

Every investor — including TiE Charter Members — is individually reviewed by the TiE Bangalore team before getting access. This protects the quality and confidentiality of the platform.

2

Sign your NDA

You personally sign a non-disclosure agreement. Invited users from your firm each sign their own. No firm-level waiver — every individual is individually bound.

3

Activate access

TiE Charter Members get free access. All other approved investors pay ₹35,000 / year. Your tier (TiE Scout → Backer → Champion → Vanguard) grows as you fund more VentureReady founders.

4

Browse validated deal flow

Every founder in the pool has cleared TiE's expert review. You see their current score across 6 dimensions — and a single coachability signal showing how they've improved.

5

Request a meeting via TiE

You never message a founder directly. TiE Bangalore facilitates every introduction — maintaining quality control on both sides of the relationship.

6

Build your verified portfolio

Every investment you make — on or off the platform — counts toward your TiE Verified Investor tier once verified by TiE. The more you back quality founders, the higher your standing.

A note on due diligence

The VentureReady mark verifies that a founder's fundamentals and story hold up under expert scrutiny — it is not investment advice or a substitute for your own due diligence. Every investment decision, and the diligence behind it, remains entirely yours.

Step 1 · Free Diagnostic

Upload your pitch deck

We'll analyse your positioning across 4 dimensions and show you exactly where your story is strong and where it breaks down — free, no commitment.

New to pitch decks? Open the free Pitch Deck 101 checklist — what a strong deck covers, before you upload ShowHide ⌄

A quick self-check. You don't need every box ticked to run the diagnostic — this just shows what investors look for.

✓ Problem — a real, specific pain, not a broad theme

✓ Who it's for — one clearly-defined ideal customer

✓ Solution — what you do, in one plain sentence

✓ Why now — what changed to make this the moment

✓ Market size — TAM / SAM / SOM, and they add up

✓ Differentiation — why you, not the obvious alternative

✓ Business model — how you make money, per customer

✓ Traction — evidence that someone actually wants this

✓ Go-to-market — how the first 100 customers find you

✓ Team — why you're the ones to build it

✓ The ask — how much you're raising, and what it buys

✓ One narrative — every slide points the same way

These 12 make a complete deck. VentureReady's expert score reviews the six dimensions investors weigh — Problem, Market, Differentiation, Team, Traction and Unit Economics — and grades each against a calibrated tier bar.

Analysing the deck you uploaded…

What the AI noticed — and what to fix first

A free read on your positioning — Positioning Clarity, ICP Specificity, Messaging Hierarchy and GTM Sequencing. The paid expert review goes further: a TiE Charter Member scores all six investor-readiness dimensions, adding Team, Traction and Unit Economics that only a human can judge.

ℹ This automated read is here to help you prepare. No human expert has reviewed your venture yet, and no score or mark is awarded at this free step — that happens after you join, revise, and submit for expert review.

What happens next — and how expert review differs from this AI read

The diagnostic above is a starting point. The VentureReady mark comes from a person, not the AI.

The AI diagnostic (what you just saw)

• Instant, automated pattern read

• Points to likely gaps to look at

• No human has reviewed your venture

• No score, no verdict, no mark

Expert review (what you unlock)

• A TiE Charter Member with investing experience

• Judged on a calibrated 4-dimension rubric (Tiers)

• Written feedback and a clear fix path

• Earns the VentureReady mark — if you clear the tier bar on all six

In short: the AI helps you prepare; a human expert decides. That judgement — and the mark — is what investors in the TiE network actually trust.

Your free diagnostic is complete. Here's what TiE membership unlocks next:

Expert-Review Questionnaire

One structured question for each of the six dimensions investors weigh — the same areas top VCs stress-test.

Expert Review & Written Feedback

A vetted TiE reviewer reads your artifacts and signs off with written feedback before awarding the mark.

Investor Matching & Intros

Your VentureReady profile is routed to matched investors, mentors, and Demo Day consideration.

Step 2 of 3 · Expert-Review Questionnaire

Tell us about your startup

These are the questions a TiE expert will review. Answer for where you are today — the same six questions work at every stage. If you're early and don't have customers or revenue yet, share your hypothesis and earliest evidence; that's expected, and your reviewer weights the six dimensions by your stage.

Carried over from your free diagnostic

Who it's for

—

One-line pitch

—

Deck you uploaded

—

We've kept these from your free step — no need to retype. The questions below go deeper for the expert.

What stage are you at, and what round are you raising (or planning)?

Your reviewer weights the six dimensions by your stage — at pre-seed, Problem and Team carry more than Traction, and answers can be well-reasoned hypotheses. At later stages, evidence and Unit Economics carry more.

1

Problem

What urgent problem do you solve — who exactly feels it, what does the status quo cost them, and why now?

2

Market

How large is the opportunity, and is that spending happening now? Are you early in a forming market or a late entrant in a crowded one?

3

Differentiation

Who are your top 2–3 alternatives, how are you different, and what's the edge a competitor can't easily copy?

4

Team

Who is on your founding team, and why are you the ones to win this? (founder–market fit, complementary skills, and what you've built or sold together)

5

Traction

What evidence do you have that customers want this? Share whatever is real for your stage, and how you reach your first (or next) customers.

6

Unit Economics

What do the economics of a single customer look like? If you have revenue, show the real numbers; if you're pre-revenue, give your pricing hypothesis and the assumptions behind it.

7

Additional info — a few extra facts your reviewer and investors will want

Use of funds — what does this raise buy?

Revenue stage

Monthly revenue run-rate (if post-revenue)

Current debt liability (optional — more relevant at later stages)

Target revenue & timeline

Expected investor return (optional — more relevant at later stages)

Existing investors / cap table

Team track record — prior growth journeys

Co-founder LinkedIn profiles (optional — you can share these instead of writing the track record above)

These details aren't scored here. They're shared with your expert reviewer and, once you earn the mark, with investors — so they can weigh your plan in context.

8

What should your reviewer focus on? — optional, but recommended

Anything specific you want the expert's help on?

Your reviewer sees this first, so they can spend your review answering what actually matters to you.

What happens next

→

Your answers are reviewed by a vetted TiE expert. You'll get the outcome by email in 3–5 business days.

→

You receive written feedback and a score across 6 investor-readiness dimensions.

→

If you clear the threshold, the VentureReady mark is awarded and your profile is routed to matched investors.

Tip

The more specific your answers, the more useful your expert feedback. Avoid broad claims — name actual customers, actual numbers, actual scenarios.

Step 3 of 4 · Review your submission

Review before expert review

This is what a TiE expert will score — your answers across the six investor-readiness dimensions, plus your deal facts. Check them, then submit.

How the expert scores you

A TiE Charter Member scores each dimension on a Tier 1–4 ladder (Tier 1 is best). Tier 2 on every dimension earns the VentureReady mark.

Your free AI read covered positioning only The free diagnostic scored four positioning dimensions. The paid expert review goes deeper — adding Team, Traction and Unit Economics that only a human can judge.

Step 4 of 4 · Expert Review Complete

Not yet — and here's exactly why.

A TiE-vetted expert read your positioning and it isn't over the bar yet. That's normal — most founders don't clear it first time. Nothing is public, no investor has seen this, and your next re-review is free.

Where you fell short

Tier 2 or better is required on all six dimensions to earn the mark.

Unit Economics

Human-validated. Every VentureReady mark is awarded by a TiE Charter Member who scored this founder across all 6 investor-readiness dimensions — not an AI. The AI handles only the first-pass positioning read.

What the tiers mean. A TiE expert scores each dimension on a 1–4 ladder where Tier 1 is the top (lower is better). Tier 2 is the bar to earn the VentureReady mark.

Tier 1 — exceptional: not just claimed, but backed by real-world proof.

Tier 2 — clear, specific and credible. The minimum to earn the mark on every dimension.

Tier 3–4 — still developing: the idea is there but vague or unproven.

These are expert judgements on a defined rubric — not a percentage benchmark.

RK

Rajan Kumar · TiE Reviewer, ex-VP Sales at Freshworks

"A genuinely urgent problem, a credible team and a clear per-customer economic story. The founder validated their 'only platform' claim with a reference customer since the last review — this pitch is ready for institutional conversations."

Market context — a head-start on your own diligence

The same live market read the TiE expert saw, so you arrive briefed instead of starting from scratch. Live web search, limited to a curated set of trusted business, startup & VC sources (Inc42, YourStory, CNBC, Crunchbase, TechCrunch, Bain, McKinsey, Nielsen, Tracxn, Sequoia, Bessemer, Antler, Y Combinator, 3one4). A starting point — verify before relying. Never a verdict.

1 Read the AI prep packet

Generated from the founder's deck · highlights claims to probe

⊗ Flagged claim

"Only platform" claim in positioning — unvalidated. Probe: can they name one verified reference customer who'd go on record?

⊗ Flagged claim

TAM stated as $4B global SaaS market — no SOM. Probe: what's the filterable ICP count at their stated price point?

Suggested probe

ICP trigger event (new VP of Sales hire) is strong — ask for evidence this is a repeatable pattern across their first 3 customers.

2 Founder questionnaire answers

Problem

Newly-hired VPs of Sales at Series A SaaS must prove pipeline ROI within 90 days, but their CRM only flags deals after they've slipped — costing a quarter of pipeline and often the job. Boards now expect this visibility from day one.

Market

~12,000 Series A SaaS companies in our ICP, each already spending ₹15–40L/yr on sales tooling. The shift to real-time revenue intelligence is early (post-Gong) but accelerating — we're an early entrant in phase two.

Differentiation

Gong/Clari report on what happened; we surface deal risk before it happens. Hard-to-copy edge: a Salesforce-native execution layer on 3 years of proprietary deal-signal data — no integration, no IT ticket.

Team

Two co-founders: ex-VP Sales at a Series B SaaS (lived the problem) and an ex-Salesforce staff engineer (built on the platform). Shipped and sold a prior sales tool together to 40 customers.

Traction

11 paying teams (₹0 → ₹42L ARR in 7 months), 3 signed LOIs, 92% logo retention. Acquired via outbound to VPs of Sales who joined in the last 90 days; closing in 2 calls with a 14-day trial.

Unit Economics

₹8L/yr per team of 10 AEs; CAC ~₹1.2L (payback under 3 months); gross margin ~82%. Self-serve onboarding keeps cost-to-serve low as we scale.

Market context — to check the growth/return claims against

Live web search, limited to a curated set of trusted business, startup & VC sources (Inc42, YourStory, CNBC, Crunchbase, TechCrunch, Bain, McKinsey, Nielsen, Tracxn, Sequoia, Bessemer, Antler, Y Combinator, 3one4). Starting context — verify before relying. Never a verdict.

3 Your Written Review

Shown to Rohan Verma after TiE admin countersigns — write in your own voice

What to cover

1.

One strong thing — the dimension that's genuinely working. Be specific — not "good job" but "your traction is real: 11 paying teams with 92% retention is exactly the proof investors want to see."

2.

The critical gap — the single biggest thing holding back investor-readiness. Give a specific, actionable fix, not a vague suggestion.

3.

Score rationale — briefly explain any dimension that missed the Tier 2 bar so the founder understands exactly what Tier 2 requires, not just that they fell short.

4.

If "Not Yet" — close with a clear statement of exactly what must change before resubmission. Make the path forward unambiguous.

Both verdicts go to TiE Bangalore admin for countersignature before the founder is notified.

2 BARS Rubric Scorecard

Score each dimension. Mark requires Tier 2 or better (Tier 1–2) on all six independently. Weight by stage — for a pre-seed company, problem and team carry more than traction.

The free AI already covered the founder's positioning (Positioning Clarity, ICP, Messaging, GTM). Your judgment matters most on Team, Traction, Unit Economics and Market — the dimensions AI can't assess.

Problem

T2: an urgent, must-have problem; clear who feels it and what the status quo costs them

Market

T2: real addressable spend happening now (not just a big future TAM); timing understood

Differentiation

T2: a specific edge vs the real alternative buyers use today (claimed, needs validation)

Team

T2: relevant founder-market fit and complementary (not overlapping) skills shown

Traction

T2: real early proof — paying customers, retained usage or signed LOIs (not just interest)

Unit
Economics

T2: revenue per customer shown with a credible path to a healthy margin at scale

✓ All dimensions Tier 2 or better — eligible for mark

Generated from the founder's deck · highlights claims to probe

⊗ Flagged claim

"Priced per-bed, not per-device" is the whole wedge — but unproven on willingness-to-pay. Probe: can they show one signed pilot or LOI at per-bed pricing?

⊗ Regulatory blindspot

Continuous vitals monitoring may trigger CDSCO medical-device classification. Probe: is the device registered, or positioned as wellness-only? What's the regulatory path?

Suggested probe

ICP is unusually sharp (tier-2 chains, 20–80 beds, per-bed billing). Ask for evidence the per-bed economics hold across the 3 chains they name.

2 Founder questionnaire answers

Problem

Tier-2 diagnostic chains (20–80 beds) can't justify the capex of per-device monitoring hardware, so new ICU wings open without continuous vitals coverage — a patient-safety and compliance gap that bites the moment a branch opens.

Market

~3,500 tier-2 chains in India adding ICU capacity, a monitoring spend that already exists as capex today. The move to per-bed opex monitoring is early — we're an early entrant as the category forms.

Differentiation

Unlike Philips/GE rigs (heavy capex, a biomedical engineer on staff), Ferra delivers continuous remote vitals at a per-bed monthly price. Edge: a device-agnostic remote-monitoring layer that needs no on-site biomed team.

Team

Founder is an ex-Medtronic field engineer (deployed monitoring in exactly these chains) with a clinical co-founder (practising intensivist). They ran two hospital pilots together before incorporating.

Traction

3 paying chains (Sanjeevani, Aarogya, MediCare Plus), 30-bed paid pilots each, retained 6+ months and expanding branch by branch. Warm intros via our clinical advisor.

Unit Economics

~₹900/bed/month; pilot ACV ~₹1.5L expanding to ₹6–8L per chain; low CAC via warm clinical intros; contribution margin turns healthy once a chain crosses two branches.

3 Your Written Review

Shown to Priya Nair after TiE admin countersigns — write in your own voice

What to cover

1.

One strong thing — the dimension that's genuinely working. Be specific — not "good job" but "your traction is real: 11 paying teams with 92% retention is exactly the proof investors want to see."

2.

The critical gap — the single biggest thing holding back investor-readiness. Give a specific, actionable fix, not a vague suggestion.

3.

Score rationale — briefly explain any dimension that missed the Tier 2 bar so the founder understands exactly what Tier 2 requires, not just that they fell short.

4.

If "Not Yet" — close with a clear statement of exactly what must change before resubmission. Make the path forward unambiguous.

Your reviewer title (Assessor) is shown · your name is not

What Priya Nair sees: your tier scores for each dimension, this written review, and your reviewer title. Your name is anonymised until both parties agree to an introduction through TiE.

Both verdicts go to TiE Bangalore admin for countersignature before the founder is notified.

2 BARS Rubric Scorecard

Score each dimension. Mark requires Tier 2 or better (Tier 1–2) on all six independently. Weight by stage — for a pre-seed company, problem and team carry more than traction.

The free AI already covered the founder's positioning (Positioning Clarity, ICP, Messaging, GTM). Your judgment matters most on Team, Traction, Unit Economics and Market — the dimensions AI can't assess.

Problem

T2: an urgent, must-have problem; clear who feels it and what the status quo costs them

Market

T2: real addressable spend happening now (not just a big future TAM); timing understood

Differentiation

T2: a specific edge vs the real alternative buyers use today (claimed, needs validation)

Team

T2: relevant founder-market fit and complementary (not overlapping) skills shown

Traction

T2: real early proof — paying customers, retained usage or signed LOIs (not just interest)

Unit
Economics

T2: revenue per customer shown with a credible path to a healthy margin at scale

✓ All dimensions Tier 2 or better — eligible for mark

Conflict of Interest

I confirm I have no financial interest in Ferra Health, no prior relationship with this founder, and no competing investment in this category. I am reviewing independently.

I have a conflict — request reassignment

VentureReady add-on

Your data room

Now that you've earned the VentureReady mark, you can open a secure data room — the organised set of documents an investor asks for after a good meeting. It's an optional paid add-on, not something to prepare up front.

Paid add-on · Unlocked by your mark

A secure data room for your raise

Keep your cap table, agreements and diligence documents in one access-controlled room, and share it only with investors who've signed an NDA. Every open is logged and visible to you. You choose when to set it up — there's nothing to upload until you do.

What investors ask for first

Before you confirm

You're choosing Expert Review only.

That gets you the questionnaire, a TiE expert's written feedback, and the VentureReady mark if you pass. Here's what won't be included:

Not included with Expert Review only

✗Your VentureReady mark won't be shown to investors on the platform

✗No investor matching or TiE-facilitated meeting requests

✗No access to Funding Clinics, Investor Connect or TiE Bangalore Angels

✗No mentorship, Business Clinics or Monthly Networking Meets

✗No pro bono legal clinic or AWS credits eligibility

✗No charter member, corporate or partner connects

✗No workspace, incubator or accelerator access

✗No discounted access to TiE events or free member-only programs

All of the above is included in TiE Bangalore Annual Membership — for ₹10,000 + GST / year.

₹7,000 more per year gets you the full network, funding pathways, and every TiE program. Your mark will also be visible to screened investors on the platform.

If you join TiE Bangalore later, the full membership fee of ₹10,000 + GST applies — the ₹3,000 + GST review fee is not a credit toward membership.
