For Startups
Get scored, get visible, get funded. Our Organizational Strength Index (OSI) helps you demonstrate your operational excellence to sophisticated investors.
Why Get Your OSI Score?
In a crowded funding market, having a great idea isn't enough. Investors want to know that you can execute — that you're building a company that can actually scale.
But how do you prove operational excellence? Pitch decks are subjective. Financial projections are optimistic. foundd.ai gives you objective, comparable data that shows investors you're ready.

Investors using foundd.ai prioritize startups with strong OSI scores. Get ahead of the curve by getting scored before you raise.

What We Assess
- Organizational Structure Role clarity, decision-making processes, hiring patterns, team composition, and organizational design. Do you have the right structure to execute?
- Technical Foundation Architecture quality, technical debt levels, infrastructure reliability, testing practices, and deployment processes. Can your tech scale?
- Execution Capability Delivery cadence, roadmap reality, prioritization discipline, and shipping velocity. Are you actually building what you said you would?
- Market Signals Customer traction, revenue mix, hiring pace, market position, and velocity trends. Are you gaining or losing momentum?
Get your OSI – free operational readiness score
Startups fill out a structured questionnaire once. foundd.ai turns their answers into an Operational Signal Index (OSI), benchmarks it against comparable companies, and returns a short summary of where they are strong – and where similar startups are ahead. It’s free, fast and fully standardised.
Step 1 – Answer the questionnaire
Founders complete a focused questionnaire on organisation, technology, execution and momentum. No slide deck, no consulting call – just structured input.
Step 2 – We map your signals
foundd.ai maps the answers into our Operational Signal Framework and computes your OSI score for your current stage.
Step 3 – See how you compare
You receive a concise summary: your OSI score, how you compare to similar companies, and where other startups at your stage typically score higher.
Step 4 – Share with investors (optional)
You can download the summary or share it directly with investors using foundd.ai. For us, your input becomes part of an anonymised benchmark that improves future scores.
Step 5: Share with Investors
Use your OSI report in investor conversations. Investors using foundd.ai can see your score in their platform.
Who Should Get Scored?
Pre-Seed to Series B startups raising venture capital from sophisticated investors who care about operational excellence, not just growth-at-all-costs.
