You've raised before

You've closed a priced round or oversubscribed a SAFE. You know what diligence feels like, and investors who've backed you once would back you again.

You've built and exited.

A prior acquisition, IPO, or meaningful return for your investors. Your track record does the first round of vetting for us.

You come from the top of your field

A degree from a leading university, a research breakthrough, or years operating inside a category-defining company. Your background tells investors you've already been selected once.

You're a repeat founder with proof

Multiple companies started, teams hired, products shipped. Even without an exit, your pattern of execution is the signal
