Role Type: Founder Support | Raise-Readiness | Evidence Acceleration
🚀 Founders & Co-Founders — Stuck Raising Investment? You’re Not Alone.
Most early-stage teams don’t fail because of the product.
They fail because they try to raise without the evidence investors need to say yes.
Pitch decks get rewritten.
Financial models get tweaked.
Narratives get polished.
But the proof gaps remain:
❌ Not enough customer discovery
❌ No repeatable traction signals
❌ Weak problem intensity evidence
❌ No quantified ROI
❌ Solutions built ahead of validation
❌ No segment-backed go-to-market story
❌ “We spoke to a few people…” instead of structured data
This is where ID8 steps in.
We help founders close their Proof Gap and become truly investable.
ID8 is a structured, AI-powered, founder-guided process led by seasoned 3× founders with deep expertise in:
💼 Finance — modelling investor-ready narratives, evidence ladders, economic logic
🧠 Technology — AI-enabled customer discovery, validation tooling, automated insight engines
🚀 Startup Building — raising capital, finding early users, crafting segments that convert
Our mission is simple:
Turn assumptions into evidence.
Turn evidence into credibility.
Turn credibility into capital.
Who This Is For
We work with founders who are:
🔥 Building an MVP or recently built it
🔥 Preparing to raise pre-seed or seed
🔥 Unsure why investors aren’t leaning in
🔥 Overbuilding without customer proof
🔥 Strong technically but weak on evidence
🔥 Pitching well… but not convincing anyone
If you’ve ever said:
* “Investors love the idea but want more traction.”
*
* “We’re close, we just need a co-founder to help with fundraising.”
*
* “We’ve built so much… but still can’t get clarity.”
*
* “We did customer calls, but nothing structured.”

Then you’re the founder we built ID8 for.
