How Evidnt helps

Change the Odds on Every Check

Evidnt changes your odds twice. Better signal in: you see who has really talked to customers before you take the meeting. Fewer losses out: the founders you back do real discovery, so more of them build something people want.

Statistically, about 6 of every 15 build something nobody wants

Even one or two fewer dead checks a year pays for Evidnt many times over.

The one thing to ask

See the Evidence Before You Invest

A polished pitch can't tell you who has really talked to customers. Ask every founder for their Evidnt report and you'll see the real conversations behind the deck, so you can back the ones onto something real before you write the check.

See it for yourself

See What a Founder's Report Looks Like

This is the report a founder shares with you: the validation score, the patterns across conversations, and the ones customers confirmed. This is what a founder who is onto something looks like.

  • A clear read on whether this founder is onto something

  • What customers keep asking for, found across every conversation

  • Confirmed by the customer, not self-reported

Why it pays off

Sharper Signal, Fewer Dead Checks

Diligence that shows real demand

Instead of taking a founder's word that customers want it, you see the evidence: a validation score, the patterns across conversations, and the ones customers confirmed. You spot the real ones faster.

Ask the founders you're evaluating to share their report

Add one line to your intro form, or to your reply to a pitch: ask the founder to include their Evidnt report link. You see who has really talked to customers before you take the meeting. It costs you nothing.

Send one of these to founders. Pick whichever fits:

One line

Optional: share your customer discovery report link from Evidnt (evidnt.ai) with your deck.

Questions

What Investors Ask

The good ones welcome it. Founders who've done the work want to show it, and it gives them an easy way to stand out. Asking for it signals you back evidence, not hype.

They can't fake the part that matters. Evidnt lets each customer confirm the conversation happened, so the verified signal holds up. And if you want to go further, ask the founder to introduce you to a few of the customers they spoke to, so you can hear it first-hand. A founder who invents customers only fools themselves, and you'll see the thin evidence for what it is.

Absolutely. Before there's a product or revenue, customer evidence is the strongest signal you have. Evidnt turns 'we talked to some people' into something you can actually read.

Asking founders to share a report costs you nothing. If you want Evidnt turned on across your portfolio, pricing depends on how many founders, so we work that out together on a call.

A read-only report for each founder: the validation score, the patterns across their conversations, and which ones customers confirmed. Personal contact details are redacted. No account needed to view it.

Evidnt was built by someone who spent years watching founders raise on ideas nobody had tested, then stall. You work with the Evidnt team directly, not a support queue.
