X1 Pipeline

X1 Pipeline evaluates a startup the way an investor might, rather than only reviewing its pitch deck. It produces an Investability Score based on an analysis of the actual company across seven dimensions, including market, team, traction and technology. The score is free, and the pitch is that it is objective, can be updated as the company improves and uses benchmarks calibrated to the company's stage, since strong traction at pre-seed differs from Series A.

The Premium Report adds a prioritized action list showing which changes would raise the score most, the open questions an investor would ask, and cross-dimensional analysis of how weaknesses in one area create doubt in another. Sample basic and premium reports are available to view. The site contrasts this with deck-only feedback, which comments on slides without telling you what to do.
