Should you actually raise venture capital?

A practical diagnostic for founders before they start fundraising.

Most founders ask, “Can I raise?” The better question is, “Should I?”

The Founder Capital Test helps founders understand whether venture capital fits their company, market, unit economics, timing and personal goals. Answer each statement as honestly as you can. The result is a starting point for judgment, not a financing recommendation.

Ten statements, then your name, email, company, stage, country, and fundraising status are required to see the detailed result.

Market urgency

Does a narrow window reward speed?

04

Unit economics

Can growth compound without hiding weak economics?

05

Founder psychology

Can you live with the pressure, dilution, and shared control?
