Tripwire offer · €7 · One-time
Pick a sector. Pay €7. Get the full deep dive in 24 hours.
Most investors won’t pay €49/mo for a tool they haven’t tested on their actual thesis. Fair. The First Look Pass exists for that exact gap. €7, one-time, no subscription - and €7 of credit if you upgrade. If your real question is narrow, hot, and already expensive, this is the paid step before a recurring workflow.
Verify the claim before you buy
If you still need proof, comparison, or buyer-side clarity before paying €7, use the shortest page for that job first. Then come back when the question is live.
What you’ll discover · three open loops
Three things in the report you can’t Google.
The PDF is 14 pages. These are the three pages investors screenshot most. Each one names a specific finding and the page it’s on, so you know exactly what €7 is buying.
The three sectors where 14-day commit-velocity gives the biggest fundraise lead-time
And the one sector where the signal lags by 60+ days because the engineering work happens in private repos until series B. Page 4.
Why a contributor influx of 4+ in 30 days predicts fundraise better than raw commit count
Plus the 90-second test you can run on any GitHub org tonight to see the pattern on a public company before we ship the report. Page 7.
Three pre-Crunchbase startups in your sector, named, with the timestamp we surfaced each one
So when one of them announces a round in 21-47 days you can verify we flagged it first, not back-fitted. Page 11.
Open loops on purpose. The page numbers are real, if any of these three discoveries isn’t in your delivered PDF, reply REFUND and the €7 returns inside one business day, no questions.
Three loops opened, three answers gated behind €7. If even one of those questions is one you’ve been carrying for a month - what’s the cost of carrying it for another?

Four beats on the calendar for First Look Pass · €7. The ladder math by the date it actually moves.
- Today01 / 04
Pick one sector at checkout. €7 once, no subscription.
Your first cheque inside the system, the smallest possible test of whether the signal fits your thesis.
- Inside 24 hours02 / 04
The deep-dive PDF + raw CSV + three pre-Crunchbase breakouts land in your inbox.
You read the artefact during a single working session. Cold-email math says you have 21-47 days before the deck circulates on those three names.
- Day 1403 / 04
If you upgrade to Dashboard, the €7 is credited 1:1 against month one.
Two-week window so you can verify the signal on your own thesis before committing to a recurring tier.
- Day 9004 / 04
You either own the rhythm (Sunday digest, Wednesday filter, end-of-quarter sweep) or you have a written reason to walk.
By 90 days you have your own scorecard. The methodology is the only durable moat, your judgement against it is the second.
Full public roadmap (shipped / in flight / on deck / cut) at /roadmap. Reviewed and re-published quarterly.
30-day Signal-or-It’s-Free guarantee
Read it. Hate it. Reply REFUND. Keep everything.
If the deep dive doesn’t surface at least one startup you’d otherwise have missed, reply REFUND inside 30 days, refund hits your card in one business day, no questions, no clawback. We’ve issued two refunds in three years. The guarantee exists because we’d rather lose €7 than have a buyer feel oversold.
Two refunds in three years, worst case the €7 lands back on your card in one business day. Where else does that downside profile exist for a sourcing tool?

FAQ
What's the deliverable, exactly?
A PDF report (10-14 pages depending on sector) plus the raw CSV. Delivered to your inbox within 24 hours of payment, weekdays. Manually written by the founder, not auto-generated. The same engine that powers the Dashboard, but applied to one sector with a written narrative around it.
How do I pick the sector?
On the Stripe checkout page, the order field asks which sector. We track 19: AI/ML, AI infra, AI safety, climate tech, crypto/web3, cybersecurity, data infra, dev tools, edtech, fintech rails, future of work, gaming, healthtech, identity, observability, open source tooling, robotics, SaaS infra, vertical AI. If your thesis cuts across, name it and we'll pick the most relevant one.
What happens if I upgrade to the Dashboard?
The €7 is credited toward your first month of Dashboard if you upgrade within 14 days of receiving the deep dive. Reply to the delivery email with REQUEST CREDIT and the founder applies it manually, no automation, but it's never been missed.
Why is it €7 and not free?
Two reasons. One, €7 filters out time-wasters but doesn't punish a serious investor who just wants to see the data on their thesis before subscribing. Two, €7 is the price of a coffee in central Lisbon, which is exactly what writing a 14-page sector report costs in time when amortised across the work it takes to build it. The price isn't margin, it's a filter.
What's the order bump and how do I claim it?
Tick the Methodology Vault checkbox in the cart preview before checkout, the 38-page PDF is added to your order as a +€19 line item, total €26. The Vault unpacks every signal definition, every regression coefficient in the SSRN paper, and the three confounders the public preprint does not name. It arrives as an instant download link in your First Look intake email. The bump is only available at this checkout step, the Vault is not sold standalone.
What if I don't like the deliverable?
30-day refund, no questions, no clawback of the artefacts you received. Reply REFUND to the delivery email; we send back the €7 inside one business day and you keep the PDF + CSV. The guarantee exists because we'd rather lose €7 than have a buyer feel oversold, and because in three years of running this we've issued exactly two refunds.
