The process

How vcLayer works

From application to funded — a clear, transparent process for everyone involved.

01

Founders apply

Fill in your startup profile — team, product, market size, financials, and traction. No pitch decks required to get started.

02

AI scores your startup

Our AI evaluates your business across 6 key dimensions and gives you a detailed scorecard with a clear score and specific improvement tips.

03

External signals verified

We cross-check traction claims against LinkedIn, GitHub, Crunchbase, and web signals — flagging gaps investors would catch in diligence.

04

Ready startups get listed

Investment-ready startups enter the investor pipeline. Others get a roadmap of exactly what to fix — then come back stronger.

05

Investors connect and fund

Investors browse curated deals, message founders directly, commit investments with milestones, and track capital deployment — all in one place.

After scoring

Every startup gets a clear verdict

Once scored, your startup lands in one of four outcome quadrants. You know exactly where you stand and what to do next.

Breakthrough

Fast-track to investors

Top scores across all dimensions with a large addressable market. You enter the priority investor pipeline immediately.

Niche Excellence

Specialist investor match

Excellent execution in a focused vertical. Matched with specialist investors who back deep domain plays.

Market Opportunity

Structured roadmap

Strong market thesis but early execution. You get a structured improvement plan and re-enter the pipeline when metrics strengthen.

Early Stage

Watchlist for future rounds

Building phase — you're too early for the main pipeline, but you get detailed guidance and a reserved spot for your next round.
