The 6 Reasons VCs Pass

WhyNotFunded identifies which one (or more) is killing your deal.

You have users, but they're not growing fast enough. Investors need 3-5x month-over-month growth.

Your founding team lacks domain expertise or startup experience. VCs bet on founders, not ideas.

Your CAC is too high, your LTV is too low, or your burn rate is unsustainable. Math doesn't work.

You're attacking a TAM that's too small or too crowded. VCs need a 10x outcome opportunity.

Your distribution strategy is unclear or unproven. How will you acquire customers at scale?

You're too early for VCs, too late to bootstrap, or in a market that's hitting saturation.

Sample Analyses

Seed

Your churn is 8% monthly. That means you're replacing 96% of ARR annually. You need <2% to raise.

No Product-Market Fit

Pre-Seed

First-time founder with no payments experience pitching to a veteran VC who wrote the book on payments.

Team Red Flag

Series A

Your CAC is $8k but your ACV is $12k. At 2yr LTV, you're barely breakeven. VCs want 3x minimum.
