Founder features
Last updated
The founder side of Hockystick is built around one loop: build a verified profile, get discovered by investors whose thesis you match, open a deal room, and get a real decision — Invest, Hold, or Pass with a reason — instead of silence.

The founder flow
- 1Create an account and build your profile — by hand, or by letting the AI extract it from your pitch deck.
- 2Pass verification checks. Tier 1 is automated and instant; higher tiers add document evidence.
- 3Fill the document vault against your stage's checklist so you're ready before the first investor call.
- 4Open a deal room when an investor engages. The NDA gate protects everything inside it.
- 5Progress through the six stages — Overview, Information Vault, Q&A, Due Diligence, Term Sheet, Closing — and receive a recorded decision.
