Investment Thesis Matcher: Does This Startup Fit Your Thesis?

Stop spending time on deals you will never do. Set your thesis once (sectors, stages, business models, geography, cheque range and revenue bar), then enter a startup’s details to get a weighted fit score and the criteria it misses.

QUICK ANSWERAn investment thesis defines what you invest in: sectors, stages, business models, geographies, cheque sizes and minimum traction. Scoring every inbound deal against it (sector 30%, stage 20%, model 15%, geography 15%, cheque 10%, revenue 10%) filters out poor fits before the first call.

Writing a thesis you can actually apply

A thesis that says “great founders in big markets” filters nothing. Be specific about where you add value and can follow on: “B2B fintech infrastructure in India at pre-seed and seed, ₹25 L–₹2 Cr cheques”.

Revisit the thesis every year and record exceptions: deals outside the thesis that you did anyway, and how they performed.

Frequently asked questions

What is an investment thesis?

A clear statement of the kinds of companies an investor backs and why they have an edge there: sectors, stages, geographies, models and cheque sizes.

Should angels have a thesis?

Yes. Even a short thesis helps angels say no quickly and focus on deals where their experience helps.

Can I use this for many startups?

Yes. Your thesis stays saved; change the startup fields for each deal, or use the deal screener to rank multiple startups.
