Our Story

Building the Credit
Score for Startups

Before FICO, every bank did its own credit check. Before FounderGrade, every investor does their own due diligence. We're building a universal credibility standard for startups.

Our Mission

Transparent, Portable, Permanent

We believe startup ecosystems deserve a shared, verifiable credibility standard - one that reduces information asymmetry, protects capital, and rewards real progress over promises.

Trust First

Every score is backed by blind expert review and recorded on-chain for permanence.

Milestone-Based

Capital flows only when real progress is proven. No more hope-based investing.

5 Days, Not 5 Months

Reduce due diligence from months to days with standardized expert scoring.
