UBS Project Female Founder special rate. · 2026
Before you pitch to investors, see your business the way the VC will see it. Get the investor-grade read, with the actions to close any gaps before you pitch.
A full founder assessment, your personal Fundability Review, and an IC-grade VC Investment Memo. The clearest read on where you stand.
When an investor passes, it never comes with the real reason.
"Not the right fit for us right now." "Come back when you have more traction." Sometimes just silence. The actual structural problem never gets said out loud.
So the fear isn't hearing a hard truth on why not.
It's never hearing it at all, and carrying the same invisible problem into every investor meeting after that.
That gap is avoidable.
The week ahead is about finding what's weakening conviction in your business and pitch before an investor quietly passes on it.
We've built you the assessment that provides you with constructive feedback, and tells you what you need to change. An investor-grade read before you pitch, written from the seat of the VC who would lead your round, so you see exactly what they'll push back on.
You also get a 90-day action plan built around your specific gaps, dated and concrete, so you know what to fix, in what order, before the next investor meeting.

What you get
One connected assessment produces two reports.
Catches the fixable gap: a fund that would back a business like yours, but passes because you walked in before you were ready, and you burned that warm introduction. Fix the gap, then use the intro.
Catches the wrong target: a fund whose returns maths means it was never going to back a business like yours, however good you are. That intro is wasted before it's sent. The memo shows you how a fund actually judges you, and which funds are worth your time at all.
Whether you're pitching now or next year, you need to walk in confident in your readiness, and acting today is what gets you there.

How it works
Every submission moves through three stages, each building on the last. No interviews. No waiting on a panel.
A two-step assessment you complete in your own time. The first step takes just 10 to 15 minutes and tells us enough to build the second: a deeper, more detailed questionnaire adapted to your stage, vertical and business model, with your deck and financial model uploaded alongside.
Every section maps to six independently scored pillars. A Velocity Index measures how fast you are de-risking the business. Outlier signals earn an uplift score. The same standard applied every time, with no bias from a fatigued reviewer reading their fortieth deck of the day.
Your Fundability Review and VC Investment Memo land in your inbox within 24 hours. Ready for your next investor conversation.
Founder voices
In their words, after the reports landed.
The review is INSANELY good. It basically made me think OH MY GOD, I can't believe I was considering talking to investors at all yet.
Refreshing detail
"The level of detail has blown me away. It has been truly refreshing."
Hannah Teale · Diffuse Retail
Found it actionable
"It genuinely reads like the notes from a rigorous pre-seed investor, and I found it both encouraging and highly actionable."
Achia Khaleda Nila · Lumina Works
Honest, not generic
"For the first time since I've started building the app, I got honest feedback on every aspect of my business instead of a polite rejection. The memo didn't just say 'not ready', Amber and Bridget showed me exactly what blocks funding and gave me a concrete roadmap to fix it."
Marina Shmayger · Structed AI
Operating plan
"One of the most grounded assessments I've received. I'll treat this as an operating plan."
Yvonne Buluma-Samba · LocaeRise
Investor package
"We used their insights to create our entire investor package: a six-month conversion plan, a refined pitch deck."
Ali Al Ramahi · Global Gaming Ltd

From the founders
Between us we've spent years on both sides of the table, raising, building, and watching how capital actually gets allocated. We've seen the same pattern too many times: a strong founder with a real business, turned away or quietly passed over, never told why, and left to guess. The feedback that would have changed the outcome never reached them. For women raising venture capital, that gap is wider and the room is often colder.
We didn't want to write another piece about the problem. We wanted to hand founders the thing the system withholds: the honest read, the investor's actual reasoning, and a clear plan to act on it, before the meeting that matters rather than after it.
That's what we're offering you. We're glad you're here, and we mean it when we say we want you walking into your next raise undeniable.
