See your startup the way an investor actually sees it — the evaluation that goes beyond pitch deck review.

Founders almost never get honest feedback. Investors rarely say what they actually think. The X1 AI evaluates your startup across 7 investor-defined dimensions and tells you exactly how it is — the same way your ideal investor thinks about it, but probably never says out loud.

Upload your pitch deck, a company document, or your website and X1 builds your profile and generates your score automatically. No forms to fill out. No manual data entry. The AI does the analysis.

Every startup that gets scored receives a basic report included — a summary of your company across all 7 dimensions, written the way an investor would share it with another investor deciding whether to look deeper. Unlock the premium report for the full investment-grade analysis with a specific action plan ranked by impact on your score.

  • Industry agnostic — scored on the universal metrics every successful business needs. A benchmark any investor can trust across any sector or stage.
  • Real-time data — every evaluation runs on live data at the moment it's generated, never cached or stale.
  • A score of 80+ correlates to startups closing their funding round within 12 months.
  • Update your score anytime as your company grows. Investors see your most recent score.

Quick Reports — score any startup, privately

Quick Reports generate a full X1 evaluation — Investability Score, basic report, and premium report — on any company, published on X1 or not.

For startups: get your score and full report before you publish your X1 profile. Know exactly where you stand — and what to fix — before investors can see you. Quick Reports are also ideal for stealth startups or companies in sensitive industries that need evaluation without making their work public.

For investors: startups come to you with pitch decks every day. Quick Reports give you a structured X1 evaluation on any startup before they're on the platform — so you have objective analysis, not just a slide deck.

All Quick Reports are private and secure to the user who runs them. Reports are only visible to others if you share by email, add to a shared XRM your team has access to, or share within an XRM the admin has approved others to view.

$10
Always $10 — on every plan, including Free.
Not counted against your monthly evaluations.
  • Pre-score before publishing — know your number and fix gaps before investors see your profile
  • Stealth & sensitive industries — evaluate your company without any public exposure
  • Score, basic report, and full premium report generated instantly
  • Evaluate any startup that sends you a pitch deck — structured analysis, not gut feel
  • Share reports by email address — no X1 account needed to view
  • Add to your XRM pipeline just like any published startup
  • Convert to a full X1 Startup Profile when the startup is ready to go public
  • All reports in your My Reports dashboard — private, organized, always accessible

One login. Every role you play in the ecosystem. No pitch deck review required.

Most apps make you create a new account — and pay a new subscription — every time you work across a different team or want a personal workspace alongside your professional one. X1 doesn't. One subscription gives you dedicated role environments that never get crossed.

If you wear multiple hats — founder and angel investor, exec and advisor, scout and founder — you shouldn't have to log out, switch accounts, and pay multiple subscriptions to work under each hat. On X1, each role has its own dedicated profile, dashboard, and experience, all active simultaneously under a single identity and a single subscription.

Work with multiple teams? Same principle. Your personal workspace and your team workspaces stay separate and dedicated — without fragmented logins or fragmented billing. Every profile you build makes you more discoverable to the right people for the right reason.

  • Startup profile — Investability Score, documents, team, and your full company story
  • Investor profile — thesis, check size, portfolio, and sectors you focus on
  • Organization profile — for accelerators, funds, corporate innovation teams, and networks
  • Career profile — showcase your work, experience, and what you're building toward
🔑One login, all your roles
Switch contexts without logging out. Your Startup dashboard, Investor dashboard, and Career profile are all active simultaneously under a single X1 identity. Your data, connections, and history stay connected across every role.
🌐Discoverable for the right reasons
Investors see your startup score. Founders see your investment thesis. Accelerators see your track record. Each role surfaces the information that matters to the person viewing it.
🔗Shareable X1 profile links
Every profile on X1 has a shareable link — your startup's X1 profile link is what you give to accelerators, investors, and programs as your standard application reference. No more custom decks for every application.
Live Now

The whole innovation ecosystem in one searchable, filterable network.

Browse every startup, investor, fund, organization, and advisor on X1 with advanced filters — free for everyone. No paywalls. No data embargo. No "upgrade to see" friction.

Filter by stage, sector, geography, score, role, and more. Sort by Investability Score to surface the startups that meet investor thresholds first. Investors sort by score, not by recency — your number is your discoverability.

For accelerators and investor networks, the searchable network means every startup that applies can be reviewed in context — their score, their profile, their documents — all in one place without leaving the platform.

  • Search startups, investors, organizations, and advisors — no account needed to browse
  • Filter by sector, stage, geography, and Investability Score threshold
  • Your published X1 profile is discoverable by every investor on the platform
  • Investors see your score in search results — score first, then dig deeper
🔎Free for everyone to browse
Every profile on X1 is searchable and browsable at no cost. Startups don't pay to be found. Investors don't pay to look. The network works because everyone can participate freely — discovery is not gated.
📊Score-first discovery
When investors search X1, they can filter by Investability Score minimum. A startup with a score of 70+ isn't just in the results — it's at the top of them. Your score is your first impression before they ever open your profile.
🏗️Built for accelerators & networks
Ask applicants to share their X1 Startup Profile link. Instantly get a standardized evaluation of every applicant — no integration required, no new application system needed. The score does the first filter for you.

Share documents and links on your profile — with exactly the right access.

Add documents and links to any X1 profile with granular permission controls. Show your work to the world, to X1 users only, or keep it private to your team — your choice on every item.

Pitch decks, financial models, product demos, press coverage, case studies, portfolio companies, published articles — anything you've done in the world can live on your X1 profile with the right visibility level.

Private documents and links are still accessible to everyone on your profile's team — so your internal materials stay organized and collaborative while external access remains controlled.

  • Add PDF documents and links to startup, investor, and organization profiles
  • Three permission levels: Public, X1 users only, or Private — set per item
  • Private items are still visible to your team — collaboration without external exposure
  • Links with the same permission controls — share your product demo, press, or portfolio with the right audience
🔐Three permission levels
Public Everyone Visible to any visitor — logged in or not. Use for pitch decks, press, and materials you want the world to see.
X1 Users X1 Only Visible to logged-in X1 users. Shown to investors and ecosystem members without full public exposure.
Private Team Only Visible only to your team members. External visitors don't see it — internal collaboration stays secure.
🔗Links and documents — same controls
External URLs — product demos, news articles, portfolio company sites, GitHub repos, video recordings — can be added to any profile with the same public/X1/private permission options. Show off what you've built in the world, on your terms.

Your entire network — X1 connections and existing contacts — in one unified pipeline.

The XRM already manages your X1 relationships. Blended XRM takes it further: upload contacts from any source — your existing CRM, a spreadsheet, a contact export — and blend them with your live X1 connections in a single workspace. No more switching between tools to see your full network.

Every contact you upload gets the same pipeline treatment as your X1 profiles — stages, notes, follow-ups, and the ability to attach reports. As uploaded contacts join X1, their profile automatically upgrades in your pipeline. You always know who's on the platform and who isn't, without managing two separate lists.

There's no contact limit on X1 profiles in your Blended XRM. Your historic network and your live X1 pipeline work together from the moment you import.

  • Upload contacts from any CRM, spreadsheet, or contact export — no special format required
  • Blend uploaded contacts with X1 profiles in one unified pipeline view
  • As uploaded contacts join X1, their record automatically upgrades to a full profile
  • No contact limit on X1 profiles — your entire network, no cap
  • All pipeline tools apply to every contact: stages, notes, follow-ups, and report attachments
🗂️One pipeline, every contact
Your X1 connections and your uploaded contacts live side by side. Same stages, same notes, same follow-up tools. One view of your entire network, regardless of whether they're on X1 yet.
⬆️Automatic profile upgrades
When an uploaded contact joins X1, their record in your Blended XRM automatically upgrades to their full X1 profile — score, documents, and all. You'll know the moment your existing contacts become active in the ecosystem.
🔗Works with any source
CSV, spreadsheet, CRM export. If you can get your contacts into a file, you can bring them into X1. No integration setup, no API keys, no IT project.

The right investors find your startup. The right startups find your investors. Automatically.

Cold outreach is broken. Investor Matching uses AI to surface the right connections — matching startups to investors whose thesis, stage focus, and sector preferences align with what you've built, and matching investors to startups that fit their criteria. Both sides of the table get matches that are actually relevant.

Matches are generated from your X1 profile data — your Investability Score, stage, sector, team background, and what you're building. On the investor side, matching runs against stated thesis, check size, portfolio history, and sector focus. The result is a curated shortlist, not a directory to scroll through.

Free users receive 5 matches per month. Subscribers receive 30 matches per month.

  • Startups matched to investors based on stage, sector, thesis, and score alignment
  • Investors matched to startups that fit their stated criteria and portfolio profile
  • Matches update as your profile evolves — score and stage changes affect who you're matched with
  • No cold outreach required — matches come to you based on profile data, not manual search
🤝Bidirectional matching
Investor Matching works both ways. Startups see investors whose thesis fits their company. Investors see startups that meet their criteria. Neither side has to search — the platform surfaces the right connections based on what both sides have told X1 about themselves.
📊Score-informed matching
Your Investability Score is part of the match signal. Investors can set minimum score thresholds for the matches they receive, so the startups surfaced to them already clear the baseline. A higher score means more — and better — investor matches.
🔄Matches evolve with your profile
As your company grows and your profile updates, your matches update too. A new score, a new hire, a traction milestone — each changes who you're matched with. Investor Matching is live, not a one-time result.
Free 5 matches per month
Subscribers 30 matches per month

Share your booking link. Let people schedule time with you — directly from your X1 profile.

X1 Meeting Scheduler gives subscribers a personal booking link that integrates with their preferred calendar application. Share it from your profile, in outreach, or anywhere you'd normally send a scheduling link — and let people book time with you without the back-and-forth.

The scheduler connects to your existing calendar — Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, or whichever you use — and reflects your real availability. Set your availability windows, define meeting types, and share your link. Bookings go straight to your calendar with no manual confirmation step.

For founders, it's the fastest way to let investors book a first call without friction. For investors, it means anyone you've matched with can schedule time directly, without email chains. For advisors and organizations, it's a cleaner way to manage inbound meeting requests from the ecosystem.

Your booking link lives on your X1 profile alongside everything else people already see about you — score, documents, role, and network.

  • Personal booking link integrated with your preferred calendar application
  • Supports Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, and other major calendar apps
  • Set your own availability windows and meeting types
  • Bookings confirm automatically — no manual back-and-forth required

Message anyone in the ecosystem — as any role you hold, from a single login.

X1 Messaging is built around how you actually work. Because you can wear multiple hats on X1 — founder, investor, advisor, career professional — your conversations live in the context of the role you're messaging as, not in a single shared inbox that blurs everything together.

Every profile you hold on X1 has its own inbox. When you send a message, you choose which role you're messaging from — your startup team member profile, your career profile, your investor profile — and the conversation lives there. The person you're messaging receives it in the context of the role you reached out to.

This means you can have a conversation with the same person as a founder reaching out to their investor profile, and a completely separate conversation with that same person as a career professional reaching out to their career profile. The conversations are independent — no crossover, no confusion, no need to log out and back in as a different account.

Everything stays where it belongs. Your founder conversations live in your startup inbox. Your career conversations live in your career inbox. Your investor threads stay with your investor role. Switch between roles and your messages are always in context.

  • Role-based inboxes — each profile you hold has its own dedicated inbox, keeping conversations in context
  • Message as any role — choose which profile you're messaging from when you start a conversation
  • Same person, multiple threads — message the same user from different roles and those conversations stay independent
  • No account switching — all your roles and their inboxes are active simultaneously under one login
  • Conversations stay in context — founder outreach doesn't bleed into investor threads or career conversations
💬Role-to-role messaging
When you send a message, you're messaging as a specific role — and the recipient receives it in the context of their role. A founder reaching out to an investor's investor profile. A career professional connecting with another user's career profile. The context is always clear on both sides.
📥Separate inboxes, one login
Your startup inbox, investor inbox, and career inbox all live under the same account — but they're completely separate. Switching roles shows you the messages that belong to that role. No shared inbox mixing your deal flow with your job search with your portfolio companies.
🔄Multiple threads with the same person
You can have more than one conversation with the same user — one from your founder profile to their investor profile, another from your career profile to their career profile. Each thread is independent. The messaging system respects the role context that X1 is built around, so nothing gets conflated.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about X1 Pipeline, the Investability Score, and how to prepare for funding.

How do accelerators and investor networks use X1?
Accelerators ask applicants to share their X1 Startup Profile link when applying. This gives every program an objective Investability Score for every startup without changing existing application workflows. Investor networks use scores to sort deal flow and set minimum thresholds for pitch events and demo days — replacing the first pass of pitch deck reading with objective, scored data.
Is the score objective? Can it be gamed?
The Investability Score is AI-generated from the data you provide and cross-referenced against stage-specific benchmarks, making it significantly more objective than human feedback. Inflating your answers produces a misleading score that doesn't help you — and won't hold up in due diligence. The score is most valuable when you're honest: it shows you exactly where investors will push back before they actually do.
How often can I update my score?
You can update your Investability Score at any time. Score updates are user-initiated — you choose when to re-evaluate as your company evolves. There's no forced schedule and no cached stale results. Every evaluation runs on live data at the moment it's generated. Most founders re-score after major milestones: closing a round, hitting a traction target, adding a key hire, or shipping a major product update.
Do investors actually use the Investability Score?
Yes. Investor networks and accelerators on X1 use the Investability Score as a standardized first-pass filter for deal flow. A strong score signals that a founder has done the work to understand what investors look for — and that the company meets baseline expectations for its stage. Founders with scores of 70+ consistently report more productive first meetings with fewer basic questions.
How does X1 compare to DocSend or other pitch deck tools?
DocSend tracks who views your pitch deck and for how long — it's an analytics tool for deck distribution. X1 Pipeline evaluates your actual company: your founding team, technology, market, traction, and investor sentiment. The result is a 0–100 Investability Score with a specific action plan. Pitch deck tools improve your presentation. X1 improves your company's fundability and gives investors objective data to work with.
What is startup due diligence and how does X1 help?
Startup due diligence is the process investors use to evaluate a company before writing a check — covering the founding team, technology, market opportunity, competitive landscape, and financial trajectory. X1 Pipeline runs this same analysis automatically using AI, giving founders a pre-due-diligence report that shows exactly what investors will find — and what to fix before the conversation starts.
How do I prepare for a VC meeting?
The best preparation is understanding exactly how investors will evaluate your company before you walk in. Run your startup through X1 Pipeline to get your Investability Score and premium report. The report shows you the specific questions investors will ask, which dimensions are below expectations for your stage, and a ranked action plan for what to address first. Founders with a score of 70+ are ready for serious investor conversations.
Is the Investability Score industry-specific?
No. The X1 Investability Score is industry-agnostic, built on the universal metrics every successful business needs to demonstrate to attract investment — regardless of sector. The 7 dimensions (Problem, Founder, Team, Technology, Market, Conditions, Traction) apply across every industry. This creates a consistent benchmark that investors can trust across any sector or stage, and that founders can use to benchmark against peers globally.
What does a score of 70 or above mean?
A score of 70–84 means your startup is investor-ready — you meet most expectations for your stage and are likely to get real investor conversations. A score of 85 or above is top tier and sends a strong signal. A score of 50–69 means you have a solid foundation but need stronger proof, traction, or clarity before serious fundraising. Below 50 means significant gaps remain — X1 shows you exactly what to fix. See the full scoring methodology →
