Verified metrics for early-stage AI
Before the pitch deck,
there's the Stripe account.
Startups whose retention, revenue, and momentum are pulled from real integrations, not founder claims. "Verified" means the numbers come straight from the source — not that we vouch for the company. No scores. No spin. Just provenance.

We also publish the verification convention itself
Any company can publish signed facts about itself at a fixed address on its own site, and anyone — human or agent — can check them for free, offline, without asking us. The spec, the reference verifier and the benchmark are MIT licensed; the daily transparency log is public and append-only. Our own attestation is the first entry in it.

The first entry in the log is our own, and it is unflattering on purpose. A verification convention that starts by flattering its author isn't one.
How it works
Data you can trust, sourced at the wire.
We connect to the systems founders actually build on and surface the raw numbers — each tagged with where it came from and when we last checked.
Founders connect Stripe — we only read
Revenue and retention in one OAuth click. GitHub is a bonus for technical founders.
We compute verified retention & revenue
Gross retention, ARPU, churn, MRR — synced every 6 hours, never typed in by hand.
Investors see durable traction, not marketing
Retention leads. Every figure carries a source pill and a freshness timestamp — you decide what matters.
Verified at the source
Retention, revenue, churn — pulled straight from Stripe by read-only sync code, never self-reported.
No composite scores
We refuse to reduce a company to one number. Raw data, full provenance — your judgement, not ours.
Accredited investors only
Investors attest to accredited status and their market before they see verified data. Anyone who does not attest to accredited status cannot access the investor product.
The vault
Deal flow, with the receipts.
Built for angels and micro-VCs who are done taking pitch decks at face value.
- We only ever read — we can see revenue, never touch money or change anything.
- Tokens encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM).
- Every figure labelled: verified-stripe, verified-github, or self-reported.
- Access is invite-gated, attested, and geo-controlled.
