Valyris is a startup diagnostic tool that helps early-stage founders prepare for fundraising. It applies multiple VC valuation frameworks, including Berkus, Scorecard, and the VC Method, to analyze your startup and highlight weak spots in your pitch. Instead of guessing a valuation or relying on rough comparables, you get a structured valuation range and investor-style feedback in a private workspace before approaching investors, accelerators, or crowdfunding platforms.

• 7 VC Valuation Frameworks: Runs your startup through established investor methodologies including Berkus, Scorecard, and VC Method to produce a structured, defensible valuation range.
• Investor Question Prediction: Surfaces the tough questions investors are likely to ask, letting you prepare answers before the actual meeting.
• Pre-Pitch Stress Testing: Simulates investor scrutiny across multiple dimensions of your business so you can patch gaps early.
• Multi-Stage Readiness: Designed for multiple fundraising milestones, whether you're heading into crowdfunding, accelerator applications, or direct investor outreach.
• Structured Output Over Guesswork: Replaces the common practice of picking a valuation number out of thin air with a framework-backed approach that investors recognize and respect.
• Risk and Gap Analysis: Highlights weak assumptions, missing evidence, and inconsistencies in your pitch.

• Built Around Real Investor Logic: Uses the same structured frameworks (Berkus, Scorecard, VC Method) that investors actually apply when evaluating startups.
• Private and Confidential: Founders can explore vulnerabilities in their business model without sharing sensitive data publicly.
• Helps Founders Speak the Investor’s Language: Produces output grounded in recognized methodologies, which builds credibility during pitches.
• Useful at Multiple Fundraising Stages: Works for crowdfunding prep, accelerator applications, and investor meetings alike.

• Best Suited for Early-Stage Startups: Primarily designed for pre-seed and early fundraising workflows, with limited value for later-stage companies.

• Pre-Crowdfunding Preparation: You're about to launch a crowdfunding campaign and need to set a realistic valuation. Valyris runs your startup through multiple VC frameworks so you can defend your ask with data rather than gut feeling.
• Accelerator Application Readiness: Before submitting to Y Combinator, Techstars, or other accelerators, use Valyris to identify the weak points in your pitch. Knowing what reviewers will question lets you address concerns proactively in your application.
• First Investor Meeting Prep: You've landed a meeting with an angel investor or VC. Valyris helps you anticipate their toughest questions and arrive with a valuation backed by frameworks they already trust.
• Co-Founder Alignment on Valuation: Founding teams often disagree on what their startup is worth. Running the diagnostic together gives everyone a shared, framework-based reference point instead of competing opinions.
• Pitch Deck Validation: After building your deck, use Valyris to check whether your stated valuation and claims hold up under the kind of structured analysis investors will apply.
