Edge Alpha benchmarks every dimension that matters to institutional investors — market, team, IP, traction, financials — and gives you a single, actionable score in minutes.
How it works
Drop your pitch deck. Edge Alpha extracts and scores up to 30 indicators across 6 parameters automatically. Supported formats: PDF, PPTX, Google Slides link.
3 adaptive questions fill the gaps that would move your score most. No form-filling. No fluff. Each question is chosen based on what your deck left ambiguous.
A live, partial score based on what you've shared — with a clear breakdown of what to improve and by how much. Benchmarked against 450+ sector data points.
Scoring framework
Every indicator maps to a question an institutional investor will ask. Edge Alpha asks it first — and scores the answer before you're in the room.
Paying customers, customer conversations, retention, sales cycle length, and commitment level — LOIs and signed contracts.
TAM size, market urgency (why now), competitor landscape, and degree of differentiation from existing solutions.
Patents and trade secrets, months to replicate, technical depth, and build complexity. What stops a well-funded competitor from copying this in 6 months?
Years of domain experience, founder-market fit, and functional coverage across tech, sales, and product. The right team for this specific problem.
Impact focus and mission alignment. Weighted low for most sectors — weighted higher for health and climate. Not a vibe check; a structural signal.
MRR/ARR, monthly burn rate, runway in months, and gross margin. Does the unit economics story hold at the next stage of scale?
Edge Alpha is available exclusively to founders in the InnoSphere network.
