Get routed to the
right 3, not the wrong 30.

Prove what's real once. Investors with a live, matching mandate see an anonymised, verified preview — and every access request is yours to approve, scope and revoke.

Raw code is not uploaded by default. You approve every investor access request. Every claim is source-labelled. You preview the investor view before routing.
What you get first

A verified room, and a front-row seat in the network.

The founding cohort is small and picked on purpose — founders with something real to prove, matched to investors actively looking for it. You keep the room, the claims and the audit trail for good.

A verified proof room

Source-backed claims for tech, product, traction and revenue — labelled A through E by evidence quality.

Founder-controlled access

Every investor request is scoped, expiring and revocable. You preview exactly what they will see before you grant.

First look at matching investors

As mandates land, your verified room is routed to investors whose criteria fit — first, before the network fills. No cold lists, no spray-and-pray.

Wherever you are in the raise

Your room works before, during and after the round.

Proof isn't only for the pitch. The same verified room routes you to the right investors now — and stays your operating room long after the round closes.

Invited by a fund? You're pre-matched

Arrived on a fund's private mandate link? You land already matched to their criteria — verified, first in line, and still fully in control of what they see.

instant match

Already raised? Your room is your operating room

Runway, GTM, board notes and investor updates live in the same trusted room — plus a follow-on radar that flags when your Series-A backers are looking.

post-raise

Not raising? Verified proof on your terms

Keep a live, verified record of what's real — and be visible to the right investors only if and when you choose. No inbox, no pressure, no cold outreach.

The onboarding flow

Nine steps from invite to your first investor preview.

Designed to be completed in under two hours. Nothing is uploaded that you haven't reviewed first. Every step is reversible.

Prefer a guided setup?

Start in the founder portal. When it is time to run your local proof scan, you can run the Hassle CLI yourself, ask Claude Code / Codex / Cursor to guide the workflow, or invite a technical teammate to complete the scan.

01

Complete profile

Founder identity, company, stage, raise. Source-labelled from day one.

02

Connect CLI

Install the Rust CLI and pair it to your workspace via device-code flow.

03

Run scan

Local-first scanner derives signed claims — raw code stays on your machine.

04

Connect data sources

Stripe, GitHub, analytics. Connector evidence is Level A; nothing else gets to A.

05

See every claim, its source, confidence and last-verified-at. Strike any that are wrong.

06

Preview investor view

See exactly what an investor at L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5 would see — before you publish.

07

Publish

Make the room queryable. You can pause, scope or revoke at any time, on any device.

08

Route to mandates

Anonymised previews go to investors with a live, matching mandate. No cold lists.

09

Route and track

Watch access requests land, approve the ones that fit, and see your match feed grow. (A private line to us comes with it.)

Apply

Claim your founding room.

The founding cohort is small and admitted in waves. Tell us what you've built and what you're raising — we route founders whose proof is real to the investors looking for exactly that. We read every application.

You'll create your room, run a local-first scan, and preview what investors would see — then route to matching mandates. As a founding partner, your read on what works reaches us directly.

Founding Proof Partner application

Takes about 4 minutes. You'll hear back within 5 working days.

By submitting, you agree to be contacted about the Founding Proof Partner programme. We never share raw company data with investors — only source-labelled claims you explicitly publish.

Read the founder overview first

Prove it once.

A verified room, founder-controlled access, source-labelled claims — routed to the investors who are actually looking. A small founding cohort goes first.
