The European standard for backability.
Helping founders and investors trust each other faster. We measure what founders and investors currently guess, and show the path that works for both.
A venture rarely dies of rejection.
It dies because it runs out of gas.

So, what are we doing about it?
We are building the European standard for backability. One read of a venture against a published method, applied the same way every time. The navigator is the outcome and it tells you: where the venture stands based on its own evidence, what is missing, and what closing each gap is worth. We recalculate with every new raise or milestone, because a company at early stage moves constantly.
We are a neutral third party. We take no fee from any transaction, no carry from any fund,. Our role is to create the common language founders, investors and boards are missing.
The founder acts. The investor decides. The board governs.

Losing money you were meant to return? Run every venture in your portfolio through one repeatable method. Compare them on the same basis. Spot the critical gaps while they can still be fixed. Protect the returns you promised.
Will your company still be backable when the cash runs low? Get an independent read before the next raise, not a pitch from management. Hold every milestone to one standard. Keep a dated record of what the board knew and when.

Where we are going.
By 2030, a serious European raise carries a Trust Exchange assessment, and its absence is what raises the question.
