The Problem

You’re doing everything right.
Nobody’s telling you what’s actually wrong.

20 investor calls. All said, “we’ll circle back.” None did. Meanwhile, a project technically worse than yours just announced a $3M seed from a VC who said “too early” to you 8 weeks ago.

01
You burn months learning the hard way
Each meeting is one VC permanently off the table. They don’t revisit a “no” in this cycle. By the time you figure out the pitch was the problem, half your runway is gone.
02
You optimise the wrong layer
You redesign the deck. Polish the visuals. The deck was never the problem. The narrative was. What you’re raising, why now, why you, why this VC.
03
You walk into rooms unprepared for the real objections
The pitch goes fine. Then one unexpected question lands, you fumble for 8 seconds of silence, and the VC writes you off in real time.
04
You take on advisors who don’t advise
Your cap table has five names that did nothing, and the next investor is asking why they’re there. Honest teardowns are expensive. Every minute spent explaining a pass is a minute not spent on the next pitch.
What you get on the call

30 minutes.
Direct feedback. Real diagnosis.

You pitch us, cold. Exactly the same way you’d open with a real investor. Then we show you what’s killing the round, across four layers.

01 / Narrative & Positioning
Where your story is losing them
Where your positioning is causing investors to misclassify you, and where your story arc is losing them between slide 2 and slide 6.
02 / Deck
What’s hurting, what’s working
Which slides are hurting you, which are doing the work, what you’re missing, what to cut. Not a redesign. A diagnosis.
03 / Pitch Delivery
The tells investors decide on silently
The body language and Q&A tells where investors decide silently. Plus the questions you should be asking them at the end of every meeting and currently aren’t.
04 / Your Q&A
Ask what you couldn’t ask the VCs who ghosted
You ask what you couldn’t ask the VCs who ghosted you. We answer. From inside the rooms where the cheques get written.
How it works

Three steps.
One call. Real diagnosis.

Six months of wasted time, back. Most founders learn what’s wrong by burning 20 VCs and a year of runway. You learn it in 30 minutes.

01
Book a slot
Pick a time, upload your deck, write three lines on what you’re raising and where you’re stuck.

02
Pitch us live
30 minutes. Real-time diagnosis. We get into it from minute one. No warm-up, no fluff.

03
Leave knowing what to fix
Not slide redesigns. Not “make your value prop clearer.” The specific reasons your round isn’t moving, and what to change before your next meeting.
Immediate
Who this is for

Be honest with yourself
about whether this is you.

The audit only works if you’ve already taken real meetings. We need real investor reactions to analyse, not hypothetical ones.

✓ You’re a fit if
  • You’re a Web3 founder raising pre-seed through Series A
  • You have a deck and you’ve pitched at least 8 investors this round
  • At least one VC has said “let’s circle back” without a follow-up
  • You suspect something is wrong with your pitch but you can’t tell what
− You’re not a fit if
  • You haven’t built the deck yet. Come back when you have something to diagnose
  • You haven’t pitched anyone. The audit works because of real investor reactions
  • You want someone to redesign your slides
  • You’re Series A+ raising on traction. You don’t need this
Track record

We know what makes VCs say yes. And what makes them ghost. Jinelle led marketing across Immutable and Animoca portfolios before starting Nozomi. She runs Nozomi with Louis, former Head of Growth at Immutable.

Together: hundreds of projects. We’ve been inside launches that 10X’d in month one and launches that crashed 80% on day one. We’ve watched founders burn 6 months pitching the wrong narrative and run out of money before the project could even get started. We’ve seen projects with “perfect pitches” fall apart on curve-ball investor questions testing the founder’s personality.

We know what separated them.

Why it’s free

And what’s in it for us.
Fair question. Honest answer.

The honest answer

Nozomi is YC for Web3. We work with the biggest ecosystems and late-stage projects on advisory (it’s not cheap). But that only works if we have a strong VC network.

VCs don’t stay in our network unless we send them quality deals. So we need to see founders early. Before they’re noisy, before they’re being chased, when we can still tell who’s actually building.

When we help founders early, we build trust. Later, when you’re raising your Series A or scaling pre-TGE, you know who to call. We play the long game.

The exchange
What we get
A stronger VC network. Early relationships with founders who will need our advisory later. Dealflow credibility.
What you get
30 minutes of direct feedback from someone who’s reviewed 100+ Web3 decks. No $500 generalist coach who’s never raised a token round.

We’re not doing this out of charity. We’re building relationships. The best way to do that is to help you when you actually need it.
