RateVC (查VC)

Investors run due diligence on you. Now you run due diligence on them.

RateVC rates investors using a Michelin-style 3-star system. Input an investor's name, get a rating and a clear recommendation in 30 seconds.

How It Works

Rating	Score	What It Means	Your Action
⭐⭐⭐	≥ 3.0	Worth a Special Trip	Book a flight to meet them
⭐⭐	≥ 2.0	Worth Meeting In Person	Same-city meeting
⭐	≥ 1.0	Worth a Video Call	30-60 min Zoom
No Rating	—	Don't Invest Time	Reason provided

What Gets Scored

Six dimensions, weighted and scored 1-4:

• Dry Powder (25%) — Do they have money to deploy?
• Sector Fit (25%) — Are they investing in your space?
• Decision Power (20%) — Can they say yes?
• Activity (15%) — How fast do they move?
• Lead Role (10%) — Do they lead rounds?
• Risk (5%) — Any red flags?

13 override rules handle edge cases: CVC limitations, conflict of interest, angel constraints, FA/banker tagging, and more. Calibrated from 120 real investor case studies.

Usage

Just ask naturally — in English or Chinese:

"Rate Sequoia for me"
"朱啸虎值得见吗"
"An investor reached out, should I take the meeting?"
"有个投资人找我，要不要见"
"Compare a16z vs Lightspeed for my AI startup"
"这个基金还有钱投吗"

Coverage

Works for both Chinese and US investors. Automatically selects the right data sources:

Region	Data Sources
China	IT桔子, 天眼查/企查查, AMAC (基金业协会), 36氪, 投中网
US	Crunchbase, SEC EDGAR, LinkedIn, PitchBook, PACER

Who Is This For

• Startup founders deciding which investors to meet
• CFOs managing the fundraising pipeline
• FAs matching companies to the right investors
• Accelerators advising portfolio companies

Why RateVC

Founders meet 60-90 investors to close a round. ~70% of those meetings are wasted time. RateVC helps you cut the noise and focus on the investors most likely to fund you.
