Trakelt, the platform connecting startups, mentors, accelerators, and investors for managing programmes, rounds, cap tables, and valuations, has launched a free test designed for the moment just before asking for money: when the founding team still doesn't know if they have what an investor will ask for.
The test has 13 questions and is answered by clicking, without entering figures. One part reviews what an investor almost always asks for: the deck, the cap table, the financial plan, the valuation, monthly metrics, and company documentation. The other measures the project's maturity in six areas (customers, product, business, team, finances, and legal aspects) and compares it with what is expected of a startup in its same phase, so that a pre-seed company is not measured against the benchmark of a Series A.
Upon completion, the startup sees its score for free, a graph of its six areas, and the three most important gaps. If they leave their email and project name, they receive a PDF report explaining, point by point, what the investor will ask for and how to close it. Cash flow data is optional. The test is available in Spanish, English, and Portuguese.
“"Many startups remake the deck and the accounts every time they talk to an investor, and discover in the meeting what they were missing. We wanted them to know beforehand, in three minutes and at no cost."
The test is available at trakelt.com/calculadora.
About Trakelt. Trakelt (trakelt.com) is the Spanish platform where the entire ecosystem that grows a startup is found: the founders, the mentors who accompany them, the accelerators and incubators that train them, and the investors who finance them, whether they are funds, investment groups, business angels, or syndicates.
It was born out of a problem that any founder knows. The same deck, the same cap table, and the same accounts are remade and sent to dozens of contacts, and each copy becomes outdated as soon as it's sent by email. Acceleration programmes are managed from spreadsheets, and investors prepare their committees by piecing together data that arrives late and via WhatsApp.
At Trakelt, each startup has a live record with its metrics, financial plan, valuation, cap table, round, and data room. The startup maintains it and decides who sees what, for how long, and with what permissions. From there:
The startup knows its valuation and what it lacks before asking for money, simulates its round's dilution, generates its deck and one-pager, and shares an up-to-date report via a link.
The mentor schedules their sessions, records agreements, finalises the session report in two minutes, and has a public profile so that those seeking their expertise can find them.
The accelerator launches its call for applications, assigns mentors and hours, tracks the cohort's progress in real-time, and generates the justification report for the funding entity without manual assembly.
The investor organises their deal flow, analyses each opportunity against their thesis, prepares the memo and committee package, votes with quorum, and tracks their portfolio until exit.
Artificial intelligence is present throughout the process and always supervised: it proposes, and the person reviews and decides. Trakelt works in Spanish, English, and Portuguese.
