Shark Tank for your stupid startup idea.
Pitch any business. Three AI investors will roast you, grade you, and maybe - maybe - give you a term sheet.
Meet the sharks.
Three investors. Three fixed lenses. Every pitch gets judged on unit economics, moat, and go-to-market - each by the shark who actually cares about it.

Unit Economics
Grills your CAC, LTV, gross margin, and payback period. Knows category benchmarks by heart.
Invests when
Margins above 70%, CAC payback under 18 months, clear path to profitability per customer.
Passes when
Structurally thin margins, commoditized product, or CAC that permanently exceeds LTV.
“Your LTV-to-CAC ratio told me more than your pitch did.”
Check size
$100k – $1M · 5–15% equity

Moat & Insight
Hunts for the non-obvious belief. Asks what you know that nobody else believes yet.
Invests when
Real contrarian bet, compounding moat, or a founder with weird conviction the market hasn't caught up to.
Passes when
Me-too play, consensus idea, or a 'moat' that's just 'we'll build it faster.'
“Everyone in your market believes the same thing you just told me. Where's the secret?”
Check size
$50k – $250k · 3–8% equity

GTM & First 1,000
Only cares how you get to your first 1,000 users. Names specific channels, not platitudes.
Invests when
Obvious distribution, viral mechanics, or a founder with clear hustle and a channel they own.
Passes when
No plan for the first 100 users, 12-month enterprise sales cycle with no sales experience.
“Bhai, this is made for TikTok. I'm in for $1M at 15%.”
Check size
$500k – $3M · 10–25% equity

2. Market Sizing (TAM / SAM / SOM)
Global personal finance software TAM is ~$1.2B (2024), growing 14% YoY. SAM for US-based Gen Z accounts ~$180M. Realistic SOM in 3 years with a bottom-up model: 0.7% of 45M US Gen Z adults × $36 ARPU = $11.3M ARR. Comparable: Copilot Money hit $8M ARR at 24 months with a similar wedge.
3. Unit Economics
| CAC | $42 |
| LTV (yr 2) | $216 |
| Gross margin | 82% |
| Payback | 6.2 mo |
These numbers work. The real question is whether retention holds past month 14 - most finance apps collapse there.

Frequently asked.
Is this actually useful or just a joke?
Both. The sharks are entertainment. The DD Report is legit - we've had founders use it as the basis for real investor decks.
Are the sharks real people?
No. They're AI characters trained to reason like specific archetypes of investor. No real person is roasting you.
Can I get roasted more than 3 times?
Get lifetime access for $4.99 - unlimited pitches plus Deep DD Reports on every idea.
Will you sell my pitch idea?
No. We don't sell or train on your pitches. Pitches are stored to generate your shareable result and leaderboard entry - that's it.
