We're on a mission to transform $300B in venture capital from subjective guesswork to systematic evaluation. Just as credit scores became essential for lending decisions, Investment Readiness Scores will become the standard for venture capital decisions.
MYCOBI was born from a simple observation: the venture capital industry invests over $300 billion annually using evaluation methods that haven't evolved since the 1970s. While other industries have embraced systematic assessment and data-driven decision making, venture capital remains stuck in the era of subjective judgment and "gut feeling."
We saw the consequences firsthand: 75% of funded startups fail, 99% of those seeking funding are denied, 96% seeking accelerator access don't get in—and even when investors commit to due diligence at $50K-$200K per opportunity with 3-9 month timelines, the majority of those companies still don't get funded. The system is fundamentally broken.
But here's what broke our hearts: who is supporting the 99% denied funding and the 96% rejected by accelerators?
These aren't bad companies—they're simply not ready yet. And without systematic guidance, most never will be.
That's the opportunity we saw. Just as credit scores became essential for lending decisions and Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) became mandatory for government technology programs, Investment Readiness Scores will become the standard for venture capital decisions. The question was: who would build this infrastructure first?
That's where MYCOBI comes in. We're building the systematic, evidence-based framework that helps companies become investment-ready, prevents predictable failures, and transforms subjective evaluation into objective assessment. Because the 99% deserve a path forward, not just a rejection.

We're building the infrastructure that will power the next generation of venture capital decisions
Transform $300B in venture capital from subjective guesswork to systematic evaluation. We're building the Investment Readiness Infrastructure that will become as essential as credit scores for lending decisions.
A world where every startup has an Investment Readiness Score, every investor uses systematic evaluation methods, and the venture capital industry operates with the efficiency and transparency of modern financial markets.
