This check assesses the six criteria Indian Series A investors apply: ARR or revenue scale (typically ₹5–25Cr ARR for SaaS or equivalent revenue for other models), revenue growth rate (typically 40–80%+ YoY), unit economics quality (LTV:CAC ratio, gross margin, CAC payback), product-market fit evidence (NPS, retention, expansion revenue), founding team credentials and execution track record, and total addressable market with believable penetration assumptions.
Indian VC firms receive thousands of pitch decks annually and invest in 1–2% of them. The difference between a fundable and unfundable business is rarely the idea — it is the data quality, unit economics clarity, and team credibility that determine whether a VC spends time on due diligence. Knowing your gaps before pitching saves 6–18 months of rejected processes.
Scored across 6 critical dimensions.
ARR / revenue scale — at the threshold for the round size you are targeting
Growth rate — revenue growth trajectory over the last 12–24 months
Unit economics — LTV:CAC, gross margin, CAC payback, net revenue retention
Product-market fit — NPS, cohort retention, expansion revenue, churn rate
Team credibility — domain expertise, prior track record, ESOP structure
Market size narrative — TAM with evidence, penetration assumptions, competitive moat
Three outcome ranges — each with a clear next action.
