More than 80% of startups fail to get from Seed to Series A
Let us improve your odds.
Less than 2 out of 10 seed-funded startups now clear the Series A bar. In today’s markets, customer traction is the only currency. Startup IQ improves your chances of achieving traction by finding the cracks in your Go-to-Market Plan — ICP, Problem-Solution Fit, Pricing, Sales Motion — and we’ll deliver pragmatic guidance to fill the cracks.
Today’s Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series-A Tech Founders must achieve higher benchmarks than ever before ($3 M ARR, airtight economics, AI-level efficiency) to have any hope for success. Choose our Founder’s GTM Office Hours for weekly live and interactive sessions with access to operators who've raised, built, and exited — so you can leap past the 80% who fail and either boot-strap or secure your next investment round on your own terms.
