For investors
See the work before the deck.
By the time a founder is pitching you, they've decided what to tell you.
What you can read hereThe interesting version was three months earlier.
Every pitch is a performance.
A good founder is good at it, which is exactly why it's a poor instrument. The qualities you're actually underwriting are invisible in that room — and extremely visible in how someone asks a question in public, and how they answer one for a stranger.
It is a slower, truer signal than a deck, and you see the version that isn't optimised for you. Nothing here is a proxy for diligence — it is the thing that makes you decide to start one.
What a founder's profile showsRevenue, and what it rests on.
A figure that arrives via a read-only key from a payment processor is a different object from a figure in a slide. Today, the revenue in the app is the one the founder entered, and CHiiRO does not call it verified.
This page is not going to describe an active deal-flow product, because there isn't one. If you invest at pre-seed, what exists is a self-entered portfolio list, and a network at the stage where the people in it are reachable.
How your data is protected- Portfolio list
- Keep a list of the companies you have invested in, entered by you, in the same app where you found them.
- Revenue verification
- Not in the app. The server side that reads revenue through a founder's read-only processor key is built, but no screen reaches it.
- Moving money
- CHiiRO never has the ability to move money.
- State today
- The revenue shown on a company page is the figure the founder entered. CHiiRO does not call it verified.
What CHiiRO does not do, and won't.
How the connection gate works- It does not vet, accredit or verify investors, and there is no badge on this site or in the app implying otherwise.
- The one verification that exists is an email-domain check, described in exactly those terms wherever it appears.
- It does not sell access to founders, and does not offer paid outreach.
- Nobody skips the connection gate. To reach someone, you send a request like everybody else, and they decide.
What investors ask first.
A room for your portfolioWhat can investors see on CHiiRO?
How a founder asks and answers questions in communities, what they're working on in their own words, which rooms they're in and at what stage, and the investment picture a founder chose to describe on the company page. Revenue shown in the app today is entered by the founder, not verified.
Does CHiiRO verify investors?
No. CHiiRO does not vet, accredit or verify investors. The only verification on the platform is an email-domain check, and it is described in exactly those terms wherever it appears. There is no badge implying otherwise.
How does revenue verification work on CHiiRO?
It is not in the app. The server side that reads revenue through a founder’s read-only processor key is built, and it can never move money, but no screen reaches it — so no revenue figure on CHiiRO is verified today.
Can investors pay for access to founders on CHiiRO?
No. CHiiRO does not sell access to founders, does not offer paid outreach and does not let anyone skip the connection gate. Reaching someone requires sending a connection request like every other member. They decide whether to accept.
Is CHiiRO a deal-flow platform?
No. There is no deal-flow product today. Investors can keep a self-entered portfolio list; beyond that, what exists is a network at the stage where the people in it are reachable, which matters most at pre-seed.
