A partner-level read of your pitch deck — against fifty Indian fund theses, free, in four minutes.
We show you the score, the killer slide, and the ten funds that actually fit your thesis.
We don’t write your deck. We don’t make intros. We don’t promise meetings. We show what’s true — you decide what to do about it.

of India’s most active funds in the match engine.
THE READ is free, forever. Pay only when you’re raising.
Built for you if
- —You’re an Indian founder planning to raise in the next six months.
- —Pre-seed, Seed, Series A, or Series B.
- —You have a product, early signal, and a deck that’s been “almost ready” for six weeks.
Don’t bother if
- —You haven’t built anything yet. Aletheia disagrees with decks, it doesn’t validate ideas.
- —You’re past Series B with warm investor coverage.
- —You want someone to write the deck for you. We grade it. We don’t ghostwrite.
40 emails. 6 meetings. 4 polite passes. No reason given.
That’s the Indian fundraise. You burn nine months learning what was wrong with slide three. The intro economy makes it worse — the partner who could tell you the truth is the one friend you don’t have.
So you keep iterating the deck blind. You add slides. You delete slides. Your traction numbers stay the same. Your runway doesn’t.
THE READ
Ten short questions about your company, market, traction, and team. We score you across the four pillars investors pattern-match on. Weaknesses ranked by severity, with concrete weekly fixes. The score is derived from the numbers you enter — not an LLM essay.
THE TEARDOWN
Upload the deck. A partner-grade reader runs it through 13 tests for Seed (14 for Series A/B): one-liner clarity, market sizing logic, traction defensibility, retention vs. vertical, team shape. You get the killer slide, the missing metric, and the questions diligence will ask.
THE MATCHES
We score you against 50 of India’s most active funds — Peak XV, Accel, Lightspeed, Elevation, Blume, Stellaris, and the long tail. Top 10 by thesis fit, check size, and stage. Plus the trigger metrics each fund needs to see before they’ll lean in.
Narrative
One-liner, problem, solution, ICP. Clarity, specificity, and the buzzword penalty. Investors skim this in three seconds — we grade it honestly.
Market
Size, growth rate, segmentation. SOM over TAM. We flag markets that are too small, too slow, or defined so loosely the deck falls apart under scrutiny.
Traction
ARR, MoM growth, M6 retention vs. your vertical, organic share. The numbers investors pattern-match on before reading slide two.
Team
Technical × commercial × prior startup. Team shape is a GTM signal at seed — investors underwrite it heavily.

“AI can’t replace a real VC.”
Right. We replace the friend who tells you it’s good when it isn’t. The cost of bad feedback isn’t ₹0 — it’s the next quarter of cold emails.
“Why not send the deck to a VC friend?”
If you had one, you wouldn’t be reading this. And if you did, they’d give you thirty minutes once. THE TEARDOWN gives you 13 tests, three iterations, in a week.
“₹4,999 for an AI critique?”
A wasted month of fundraising costs roughly ₹5L of runway. The Pass is a 100× cost-ratio bet. If it saves you one bad email cycle, it pays for itself.
“Why not just use ChatGPT?”
Ask ChatGPT to score your deck and it will tell you it’s strong. Aletheia is built to disagree with you. The 13 tests are calibrated against Indian IC memos and the 50-fund matcher is a database, not a vibe check.
Score your startup. Before someone else does.
Four minutes. No card. No sign-up wall until you want the report saved.
