Know how ready you are to raise — and who to raise from.
Axel turns a structured founder workshop into an evidence-based readiness status, a ranked list of investors that fit your company, and the next steps that move you closer to a round.
Nearly ready — targeted gaps
Gather stronger evidence for traction — signed pilots or usage data — before approaching seed funds that weight it heavily.

LYQOS reviews and releases your report
Your full workshop goes to LYQOS for review before anything is released. We email you when your reviewed readiness status, tiered investor list and data-room plan are ready.
What you get
Every output traces back to what you told us in the workshop — no black-box scores.
Readiness status
One clear band, from foundational gaps to ready to approach, broken down across founder & team, market, product, traction and investment fit.
Investor matches
Investors ranked by fit to your stage, sector, geography and raise, each with the reasons and concerns behind the match.
Next actions
The specific gaps holding you back, ranked by how much they matter to the investors you're likely to approach.
Data-room plan
The documents investors will expect at your stage, with what you already have checked off.
Fit, not promises
Axel tells you how well an investor appears to fit your company and how ready you look against what investors at your stage expect. It never claims an investor will invest — that decision is always theirs.
