After a decade of running Propelia as a specialist UK Founder Market Fit early stage accelerator, working with 100's of founders across market sectors, we believe it’s time for pre-revenue investor startup conversations to shift away from always defaulting to Product Market Fit.Building on this, we have now designed and launched Pilot Round is the missing piece of the FounderTech ecosystem, that for the first time enables exceptional investors and aligned investors to identify, connect and evaluate each other via the lens of Founder Market Fit.Explore more and sign up to the Beta at www.pilotround.com Show less
