Founding Proof Partners · closed beta
For founders · free during beta

Prove what you've built
before you pitch.

Create a verified proof room for investors without exposing raw code or sensitive data by default.

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 Founding Proof Partners get

A working proof room, on your terms.

You're not a beta tester for a polished thing. You're co-building the trust layer with us — and you keep the room, the claims and the audit trail when GA ships.

A verified proof room

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

free during beta

Founder-controlled access

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

founder-set

Direct line to the team

Weekly office hours with the founders, a private feedback channel, and your name shipped with the GA release notes.

early-access
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.

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

Review verified claims

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

Submit feedback

Each week, tell us what's working and what isn't. Your input ships into GA.

Apply

We're admitting the first cohort in waves. Tell us what you're building, what you'd want from a verified proof room, and where Hassle would help most. We read every application.

What we're asking of you: create a company room, run a local-first scan, preview what investors would see, and tell us whether this makes fundraising less painful.
