Hello everyone,

Happy to announce the launch of Applyifi – a private platform for startups and early-stage companies to create a comprehensive and elegant online investor pitch deck.

Applyifi also provides startups and investors a 36-point scorecard and assessment report, which helps startups understand their strengths and weakness, and provides them actionable inputs to sharpen their business plans.

Startups can share their Applyifi profile with multiple investors or accelerators and incubators, including those not registered on Applyifi.

Applyifi for Startups

A comprehensive form helps the startups to think through their plans
Applyifi converts the application into an elegant, comprehensive pitch deck with all the relevant data points investors/accelerators need to evaluate a venture
Startups can apply for assistance from experts to help sharpen their business plans
Applyifi scorecard helps startups understand their strengths and weaknesses, and make necessary adjustments in their plans
Only investors and accelerators/incubators can view startup profiles
Startups however can share their profiles privately outside the platform through a username and password

Applyifi for Investors and Accelerators

For investors and accelerators we solve the problem of “How do I sift through and shortlist from the 1000s of deals that I get through various sources?”

Investors can filter deals using the Applyifi 36-point scorecard
Elegant, comprehensive pitch deck give investors all the information that they seek without the information they do not need
Select, shortlisted deals are vetted by experts, including in-person or Skype interviews for a detailed assessment of the investment worthiness of the venture
Investors, accelerators & incubators can use customer filters to shortlist as per individual investment thesis

Hows this going?

Going well Alok. In fact, we had out first pitch room session this Friday and Saturday where we presented 4 crated startups.

Great feedback from investors on the usefulness of the scorecard & assessment report (Applyifi had been developed with on-going inputs from quite a few investors). Startups too had very generous comments to make, especially about getting a good perspective on their venture. In fact, even startups that did not make the cut realized that the assessment report & scorecard provided them actionable insights to think about.

Thank you for checking.

Cheers,

Prajakt
