    Strong wedge and the CAC math holds at this price. I would take the seed meeting and likely lead.

Three ways to pitch

Pitch what you already have.

The Byte Tank reads straight from your work on OpenLuxe. Bring a full written plan, the business you have already built here, or your live catalog, and the room reacts to the real thing.

Your business plan

Submit your whole plan, from executive summary to financials, and pitch every section to the panel at once.

Your live business profile

Already on OpenLuxe? Pitch the business you have built: mission, traction, pricing, and every differentiator.

Your products and services

Put your real catalog in front of the room and hear exactly what they would fund and what they would cut.

The panel

A room that spans the whole cap table.

Your pitch meets every kind of check, from a first angel to late-stage growth. Each investor reasons from a real mandate: their stage, their check size, and the things they probe hardest. The same pitch lands differently on each, so you see who you are winning and who you still have to convince.

Pre-seed angel$10k–$250k

Founder conviction and whether the first ten customers are real.

Seed VC$250k–$3M

The wedge, early traction, and whether this becomes a venture-scale company.

Series A VC$3M–$15M

Repeatable go-to-market, unit economics, and a credible path to the next round.

Growth equity$5M–$50M

Efficient growth, retention, and the size of the prize at scale.

Family office$250k–$25M

Durable margin, downside protection, and alignment for a long hold.

Impact / ESG$250k–$20M

Measurable outcomes alongside the returns, and that the mission is in the model.

Start here, no signup

Pitch the room, free.

Describe your company and what you are raising. A panel of investors will react right now, with an honest fund or pass, before you sign up for anything.

Your panel of investors will react here.

The room

Five investors. One rug. Your pitch.

Every verdict takes a chair. Run the pitch above and the panel re-seats in front of you: who leans in, who wants more, who passes.

Figures are featureless by design. The colours mean the verdict, and nothing about the person.

The read-out

Not applause. A decision.

Every investor answers in their own voice, then lands on a verdict you can act on: a clear decision, the deal they would actually offer, the pushback that came up most, and the diligence to be ready for. It goes past sentiment, all the way to the terms on the table.

  • A clear decision. Each investor lands on fund, pass, or wants-more, with the conviction behind it, not a vanity score.
  • A term sheet. Every interested investor names the instrument, amount, valuation, and conditions they would offer.
  • The objections and fixes. The pushback that came up most, and the concrete changes that move it.
  • The diligence. The questions you will be asked, surfaced early so nothing catches you cold.
The deal terms

Each investor offers the deal they would actually do.

The structures an investor will consider live on their profile, so the terms on the table fit how they really invest. A revenue-share fund offers revenue share. A seed VC offers a SAFE. The verdict speaks their language, not a generic one.

Priced equity

A share of the company at a set valuation, with the board and pro-rata rights that come with it.

SAFE

Money now, shares later at a cap or discount. The seed-stage default.

Convertible note

A loan that converts to equity at the next round, with a cap, discount, and interest.

Revenue share

Capital repaid as a slice of revenue until a return multiple is hit. No equity given up.

Royalty & licensing

Paid against units, IP, or licensed rights instead of ownership.

Venture debt

A loan alongside or after equity, often with warrants attached.

Warrants & options

The right to buy in later at a set price, as a sweetener or a hedge.

Dilution & liquidation posture

How hard they push on pro-rata, liquidation preference, and anti-dilution.

The negotiation

Then they actually negotiate.

Set your anchor and how far you will move. Each investor counters from their own conviction, deal preferences, and willingness to bend, across as many rounds as it takes to reach a close. Some make one firm offer and will not budge. You can turn any investor's negotiation off entirely.

YouAnchor to the room

$2M on a $14M post-money, SAFE, pro-rata reserved for the lead.

NaomiSeed VCCounter · round 1

In, but not at $14M. $12M post, an MFN clause, and a board-observer seat.

YouCounter · round 2

Meet me at $13M, observer seat yes, MFN yes, if you lead the round.

NaomiSeed VCClosed

Done. $1M at $13M post, observer seat, pro-rata. I will lead.

DarioLate-stage PE · take it or leave itOne firm offer

One number from me: $3M secondary at a $40M cap, 1x liquidation. No rounds, no movement.

Marcus passed, so his negotiation stays off. Naomi closed over two rounds. Dario made one take-it-or-leave-it offer. Negotiation style is per investor.

Coming to The Byte Tank

Soon, pitch the investors themselves.

The archetype panel is only the start. Next, the room fills with real people.

Roadmap

Famous investors, all industries

Pitch real, well-known investors across every industry, each with a full profile of what they fund, the companies they have backed, and the criteria behind it.

Roadmap

A real investor profile

Investors build out a public profile, the way a professional one works, and choose the industries they actively back, so founders can find the right room.

Roadmap

A fit score for every investor

Each investor carries a likelihood score for how good a fit your raise is for them, so you know who to pitch before you ever reach out.

Brief the room, then book the meeting.

Walk into the real pitch already knowing the verdict, the objections, and the questions, so the only surprise is how ready you are.
