How this service works
Startup funding intelligence API. VC round data, investor matching, pitch deck scoring, term sheet decoding, cap table modeling, global accelerator directory, market sizing, legal formation, comparable deals, and due diligence prep. All endpoints require x402 payment (USDC on Base mainnet) via the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header.
Output
Returns dimension-by-dimension scores (across 8 VC evaluation criteria), specific improvement notes for each dimension, and the exact questions VCs from Sequoia, a16z, and YC frameworks are likely to ask, benchmarked against top VC evaluation standards.
Example use cases
Pitch readiness check before investor meetings
“I'm pitching my fintech startup to three VCs next week and I'm nervous about gaps in my story. Can you evaluate my pitch deck against Sequoia, a16z, and YC frameworks, show me my scores on all 8 dimensions, and tell me exactly what tough questions they're going to ask me so I can prepare?”
Identify weaknesses before Series A round
“We're raising Series A for our healthcare AI platform and want to know where our pitch is weakest compared to what top VCs look for. Score us across the 8 VC evaluation criteria, highlight which dimensions need the most work, and give me specific improvement notes for each area.”
Compare pitch strength across frameworks
“My co-founder and I built a pitch for our edtech startup and we want to see how it stacks up against different VC evaluation philosophies. Can you benchmark it against Sequoia, a16z, and YC standards, show me the dimension-by-dimension scores, and tell me which framework we're strongest and weakest in?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://venturepulse-nine.vercel.app/api/startup/pitch-scoreWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when a founder wants structured, multi-framework VC scoring of their pitch content before investor meetings, especially when they need actionable improvement notes and want to anticipate specific VC questions across Sequoia, a16z, and YC lenses rather than generic pitch advice.
Side effects
- Missing or insufficient pitch content returns an error or low-confidence scores
- Pitch description too vague for meaningful framework-specific feedback
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429 error
- Server timeout for very long pitch submissions
- Generic or incomplete business descriptions produce shallow analysis
