  1. Founders in 60 countries

    The PreSeed HQ team has worked side by side with founders on six continents. Their questions shaped these tools.

  2. Our own startups

    The PreSeed HQ founders have built startups themselves. What we learned doing it is in here.

  3. Lessons from what failed

    A lot of it came from things that didn't work. We built these tools so you can spot those mistakes early.

Questions founders ask

Is it free?

Yes. Every tool is free during the pilot.

Who can see my numbers?

You, when signed in. We don't look at your numbers unless you ask us for help. Investors see a snapshot only through a link you make, and a programme sees a summary only if you join it and agree.

Can I delete my data?

Yes. You can delete your startup and everything saved with it at any time, in Settings under Runway, in the "Delete my company and data" section.

Do I need to be in India to use Startup or business?

No. It's for founders anywhere. It borrows the three ideas in India's DPIIT startup definition, not India's legal rules.

What's a cap table?

A list of who owns what share of your company, today and once invested money turns into shares.
