For investors & accelerators

Know which founders have really done the work.

TrustLaunch gives venture funds, accelerators, and startup studios a standardized validation framework across their entire portfolio. One score. Clear evidence. Faster, better investment decisions.

The problem

Validation quality is invisible - until it's too late.

Most pre-seed investors and accelerators evaluate validation quality subjectively. One founder brings a spreadsheet of interview notes. Another brings a polished deck with no evidence behind it. There is no standard. No score. No way to compare.

TrustLaunch changes that. Every founder who runs their validation through TrustLaunch produces a standardized, scored artifact - the TrustLaunch Score - that tells you exactly how much discovery work they have done, how rigorously they tested their assumptions, and how real their demand signals are.

What you get

A validation layer for your entire portfolio.

Portfolio dashboard

See every portfolio company's TrustLaunch Score in one view. Track validation progress across cohorts and identify which founders need support before it becomes a problem.

Standardized reports

Every company produces a structured TrustLaunch Validation Report - covering assumptions, discovery evidence, and demand signals - in a consistent format you can compare across deals.

Aggregated trend data

Quarterly anonymized insights across all validated companies in your portfolio: which ICPs convert, which pricing models fail, and where founders consistently get stuck.

How it works

Three ways to use TrustLaunch as an investor.

01

Require it as part of your application process

Add a TrustLaunch Score requirement to your accelerator application or pre-seed diligence checklist. Founders who cannot produce one get a clear signal of what work remains.

02

Give it to your portfolio founders

Provide TrustLaunch access to every company in your cohort or portfolio. Use the portfolio dashboard to monitor validation progress in real time.

03

Use the Score in your investment memos

A standardized TrustLaunch Score gives your investment committee a consistent, evidence-based data point alongside the qualitative pitch - reducing decision-making noise.
