Frequently Asked Questions

🎯 Getting Started

Three simple steps:
  1. Register for a free account (takes 60 seconds)
  2. Upload your pitch deck (PDF, DOCX, or DOC)
  3. Wait 10 minutes for your AI-powered score and recommendations

No credit card required. No hidden fees.

We accept PDF, DOCX, and DOC files up to 50MB. Your document should include all the key sections of your pitch deck: executive summary, market analysis, business model, financials, team, etc.

Typically 10-15 minutes. You'll receive an email notification when your score is ready. Complex or lengthy decks may take slightly longer. You can close the browser and come back later—your analysis will be waiting.

Yes. 100% confidential. Your deck is encrypted both in transit and at rest. We never share your data with third parties. Only investors you explicitly match with can view your deck—and only after you approve. You maintain full ownership and control.

đź“Š Understanding Your Score

We use 11 specialized AI agents to evaluate your deck across different dimensions:
  • Market Opportunity (size, trends, TAM/SAM/SOM)
  • Financial Projections (revenue model, unit economics)
  • Team Assessment (experience, gaps, credibility)
  • Competitive Analysis (differentiation, moats)
  • Business Model (value prop, scalability)
  • Go-to-Market Strategy (customer acquisition)
  • Technical Feasibility (product/tech architecture)
  • Risk Analysis (market, execution, financial risks)
  • Scalability (growth potential)
  • Legal & Compliance
  • Overall Synthesis (holistic evaluation)

Each agent provides a score (0-10) and detailed feedback. The overall score is a weighted average.

Score ranges and what they mean:
  • 8.0 - 10.0: Investment-ready. Strong deck with minimal gaps. Ready to pitch.
  • 6.0 - 7.9: Promising but needs refinement. Fix the highlighted issues before pitching.
  • 4.0 - 5.9: Needs significant work. Major gaps that will raise red flags with investors.
  • Below 4.0: Not ready. Fundamental issues need to be addressed first.

Remember: A low score now is better than 50 rejections later. We show you exactly what to fix.

Yes! Absolutely. You can upload a revised version at any time. Each version is analyzed separately, so you can track improvements over time. This is encouraged—we want you to iterate until your deck is investor-ready.

That's exactly why we built this. A low score means you found out BEFORE pitching to investors—not after months of rejections. We'll show you exactly what to fix:
  • Which sections need work
  • What investors will question
  • How to improve each category
  • What to emphasize or de-emphasize

Fix the issues, resubmit, and get re-scored. Better to know now than after 50 rejections.

🤝 Investor Matching

Our algorithm matches you with VCs based on 5 key criteria:
  1. Industry Focus: Are they investing in your space? (SaaS, HealthTech, FinTech, etc.)
  2. Funding Stage: Do they fund pre-seed, seed, Series A?
  3. Geography: Do they invest in your region?
  4. Score Threshold: Does your score meet their minimum criteria?
  5. Recent Activity: Are they actively deploying capital?

If you're a match, we present your SCORED deck directly to them. No warm intro needed. Just your validated plan and their interest.

Only after you approve. Here's the flow:
  1. You upload and get scored
  2. Our algorithm finds matching investors
  3. You review the matches and choose which ones to send to
  4. We present your scored deck to those specific investors
  5. If they're interested, they reach out to you directly

You're always in control. Your deck is never shared without your explicit permission.

Three major differences:
  • Pre-qualified matches: You're only sent to VCs who match your profile (stage, industry, geography)
  • Pre-validated deck: Your deck arrives with an objective score, proving you're serious
  • Cuts through noise: VCs see 1,000+ cold emails. A scored deck from our platform stands out

It's the difference between "Can you look at this?" and "This was scored 8.5/10 by AI investors use. Here's why it matches your thesis."

No—and anyone who does is lying. Investment decisions are made by VCs based on their own criteria and due diligence. We can't guarantee funding.

What we CAN guarantee:
  • You'll know exactly where your deck stands
  • You'll get matched with investors who fit your profile
  • You'll get in front of the right people faster than cold emailing
  • You'll have a better shot than going in blind

🚀 GTM Strategy & Execution

Your GTM strategy is your plan for acquiring customers and generating revenue. We build you a custom plan that includes:
  • Customer Personas: Who your ideal customers are
  • Content Pillars: Key messaging themes
  • Channel Strategy: Where to find customers (paid ads, SEO, social, etc.)
  • Launch Timeline: What to do first, second, third
  • Metrics: What to measure and optimize

This shows investors you know how to execute post-funding—not just pitch an idea.

Bobos.ai is a vetted global talent marketplace for marketing execution. Once you have your GTM strategy, you need people to execute it. Bobos.ai connects you with:
  • Designers (logos, pitch decks, social graphics)
  • Copywriters (website copy, ad copy, email campaigns)
  • Growth Marketers (paid ads, SEO, conversion optimization)
  • Video Producers (product demos, explainer videos)
  • Social Media Managers (content calendars, community building)

It's completely optional. Each freelancer's rate is published on the platform based on their expertise and your project scope.

No. It's completely optional. You can use FounderScore.ai to validate, match, and strategize—all for free—and execute however you want. Hire your own team. Use other agencies. DIY it. Whatever works for you.

Bobos.ai is there when you need vetted talent fast. No pressure. No requirement.

đź’ł Pricing & Business Model

The core platform is 100% free. Forever.
  • Pitch deck validation: FREE
  • Investor matching: FREE
  • GTM strategy: FREE

We only make money when you hire talent through Bobos.ai to execute your strategy. No credit card required to use the platform. Free means free.

There isn't one. We built this because raising capital is broken. Too many great ideas get ignored because founders don't have access to honest feedback or the right investors.

Our business model is simple: free core, premium execution. The tools you need to get funded are free. When you're ready to execute and hire talent, that's optional and paid. No tricks. No hidden fees.

🔧 Technical Issues

Common issues and fixes:
  • File too large: Maximum file size is 50MB. Try compressing images or splitting into a smaller deck.
  • Wrong format: We only accept PDF, DOCX, and DOC files. Convert from PowerPoint or Google Slides first.
  • Corrupted file: Try re-exporting your deck and uploading again.
  • Browser issue: Try a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
