Company mission
Capital Pilot's mission is to reduce friction and bias in early-stage investment to make fundraising fairer.
Our take
Fundraising is one of the most important stages in the life of any startup. However, in recent years investment in startups has been tarnished by allegations of nepotism and overall inequities relating to which businesses get funding. This is a problem for two reasons: on the one hand it creates an unfair playing field, and on the other hand it leads to allocations of capital which would, perhaps, be better placed elsewhere.
Capital Pilot is an independent rating organisation that measures investability, the attractiveness of a startup or scaleup to potential investors. Their rating system combines data analytics with human assessments of a company’s business model and team, to provide objective insights into fundraising and scaling potential.
Not only does this help funds get allocated where they should, it also helps founders identify and fix flaws in their investor proposition early, to maximise their chances of funding success.
