Deal Readiness Score

Every VC has a checklist they never show you. Now you have it too.

The investor data room checklist that tells you exactly what's missing — weighted by funding stage, scored by priority, results in under 4 minutes.

Deterministic scoring
Stage-specific
Results in ~4minutes

Most founders share a Dropbox link and hope the investor doesn't find the gap first.

No data room tool tells you if you're ready before you share. DealVue is the first.

WITHOUT DEALVUE

You share the link. You wait. Three days of silence. You don't know if something was missing, what they read, or whether they're still interested. The first time you find out about the gap is when the investor asks for it — live, in the meeting.

WITH DEALVUE

You know your score before you share. Every gap identified. Every fix prioritized. You walk into the meeting knowing exactly where you stand — and so does your data room.

How the score works

Not a generic checklist. A weighted algorithm built from institutional VC diligence standards.

DealVue's fundraising readiness checklist is stage-specific and weighted — what's required at Seed differs from Series A. Every document in your data room is mapped against the actual diligence standards investors apply at your funding stage.

The Deal Readiness Score makes zero AI calls — it is a deterministic weighted function. The same document inputs produce the same score every time. Auditable and reproducible.

Your next steps

Your score comes with a plan. Every gap ranked, every fix estimated.

Every low score comes with a prioritized action list — not vague suggestions. Critical gaps appear first, ranked by investor impact, each with a time estimate. For 14 common documents, Clara can generate a structured first draft from your existing materials instantly.

Deal-breakers

Some gaps can't be scored around. These are hard stops.

A score of 8.1 with a missing cap table at Seed stage returns one status: not investor-ready. Deal-breakers are hard-flagged before any investor sees your room — so you fix them in private, not during a partner call.

"The Deal Readiness Score flagged two missing documents that our investors asked for in the first meeting. We looked prepared and professional."
