The FounderGrade Score is a credibility metric produced from eight dimensions: team, market, product, traction, financials, scalability, risk and fundability. Each dimension is scored against a published rubric, and the rubric is shared with reviewers and founders alike.
Initial scores are produced by two independent expert reviewers working under blind conditions. Neither reviewer sees founder identity, cap table ownership or investor names. When the two reviewers diverge materially, a third expert is assigned and the reconciliation is recorded.
When Does My Score Update?
Within 24 hours of any milestone state change or new verified data point. Meeting a committed milestone raises the score; missing one lowers it. Verified objective data, such as revenue evidence or accelerator affiliation, surfaces as a badge next to your number.
Can I Dispute a Score?
Yes. Open an appeal from your Score page. Two different reviewers re-score the file blind, with a third only if they materially disagree. Appeals are limited to once per quarter.
