Founderfit by Koble

Hey Hunters! Damian and Guy here from Koble. In 2016 we co-founded a venture builder, Zero 1. There, we launched three tech startups and raised $8 million in venture capital, notably Lifted and Heata. Launching a startup is the hardest thing in the world. And we strongly believe founders and investors are suffering from lacking a quantitative approach in the early stage. We became obsessed with finding a solution. And in 2020 (after two years of lengthy discussions and technical research) we built Koble. Today we’re launching our first tool, Founderfit by Koble Early stage investors evaluate your startup by deciding if you’re a good fit for the business you’re trying to build. They call this founder-market fit. Founderfit by Koble calculates your founder-market fit for you, so you can see how VCs rate your experience. Our industry-first algorithms replicate the analytical and intuitive decision patterns VCs use to evaluate you - across experience, personality, and founder story - so you can see how you compare to previously VC backed founders. And the cool part is we’ll even tell you what to look for in your ideal co-founder. What will my Founderfit score tell me? The Founderfit score consists of five parts: startup expertise, domain expertise, technical skills, growth skills, and operational expertise. You get a score for each area, as well as an overall score based on how you compare to VC-backed founders and select cohorts like Y-Combinator. How we calculate your score Founderfit is powered by a proprietary suite of algorithms that replicate the analytical and intuitive decision patterns VCs use when evaluating startup founders. We’ve crunched thousands of data points about the experience and education of successful startup founders, as well as the companies they worked for and the educational institutions they attended. Your score is computed against this database and as a function of how your expertise relates to your startup. Head over to www.koble.ai/founderfit to try it out for free today. We’d love your feedback and we’re here all day to answer any questions! ---

great nifty tool to see how you stack up to other founders and identify gaps in your team mix

I like this. Very cool. And I got a great score too! Is startup expertise the most important variable?

This looks very promising. But why use a proprietary algorithm? The days for that are gone.

This tool is really helpful. Fundraising and meeting VCs is such a black box of unknowns and it's so hard to know how to prepare. I will definitely use it before I go and raise next time. Thanks!

This is seriously cool. Love the UX and some interesting insights. Great work guys!

Great product. Especially for first time founders that want to position themselves better. Well done!
