Your friends think your idea is great. So does ChatGPT.
NexTraction scores your market validation and investor readiness across 11 pillars — with honest research, not polite encouragement.
Built to disagree with you.
As seen on TV
Powering startup analysis for business angels on “Qui va investir dans mon projet?”
Why we built this
NexTraction started where most startups die: in the gap between an idea and the evidence it needs. We watched friends spend months stitching together customer interviews, deck reviews, and investor coaching — paying five different tools to do five disconnected things.
We built one workspace — analysis, personas, pitch practice, deck building — on a shared evidence layer. The point is not more AI chat. The point is honest answers before you write code, hire, or pitch.

Specifics, not slogans
MVI scoring
6 evidence-validated pillars (Solution Market Fit, Audience Alignment, Differentiation, Problem Evidence, Market Momentum, GTM Story), each rated 0–100 with cited justifications.
Live research
Refreshed at analysis time from Statista, CB Insights, Crunchbase, and industry sources — not stale LLM training data.
IRS scoring
5 investor-readiness pillars, stage-calibrated (pre-seed through Series A), with slide-level deck feedback.
Investor personas
50+ distinct personas — VCs, angels, family offices, accelerators — each with sector focus and questioning style for pitch practice.
Deck calibration
Deck generation calibrated against patterns from 500+ funded decks (YC, a16z, Sequoia, Khosla, Entrepreneur First).
What NexTraction is not
Honest scope builds trust. We focus on structured evidence — not hype or hand-waving.
This is not ChatGPT
ChatGPT agrees with you. NexTraction runs live web research for your sector, scores you on 6 MVI + 5 IRS pillars with citations, and is calibrated to your stage — it will not flatter you into building the wrong thing.
This is not a survey tool
After thirty years building companies, I've never seen a tool collapse the validation cycle this dramatically. We're not faster surveys — we're a different category.
This is not a magic funding button
We do not get you funded. We get you ready — with evidence, scores, and deliverables you can defend in a room full of skeptical investors.
Everything You Need to Get Funded
Six powerful tools working together to take you from idea to investor-ready.
Know Where You Stand

The same scoring used to evaluate 200+ startups for business angels.
Are You Ready for the Room?
Scored against what investors actually look for at your specific funding stage. Pre-seed? Seed? Series A? Different bar, different score.
Talk to Your Customers Before They Exist

Phase 2 • Live simulation
Pitch practice with The Metrics Hawk
Your CAC is $120 but your LTV is only $340. That's a 2.8x ratio. Most VCs want to see 3x minimum at your stage. How do you plan to improve?

How NexTraction Thinks
Not a black box. Not a chatbot. A structured, multi-step analysis engine backed by real-time research.
Market Validation Index (MVI)
Your startup scored across 6 evidence-based pillars — each independently rated with specific justifications.
Investor Readiness Score (IRS)
Not one-size-fits-all. Our proprietary multi-framework engine adapts from the Berkus Method for concept-stage ventures to the VC Method for revenue-stage companies — calibrated to your funding stage.
Every score comes with the framework used, what was evaluated, and what evidence was considered.
Deep Industry Profiling
Analyses are typically grounded in real-time web research — not just LLM knowledge. Our engine pulls from industry reports, competitive databases, and market intelligence to validate claims and surface sector-specific trends.
50 Virtual VC Personas
Not generic chatbots. 50 distinct investor personas — VCs, angels, family offices, accelerators — each with unique investment theses, personality types, and questioning styles.
Battle-tested: Our AI investor has questioned founders on live television.
