How does the health score calculation work?

The engine evaluates five dimensions: Finance, Product, Growth, Team, and Market. It compares your actual metrics against benchmarks retrieved via retrieve_stage_benchmarks for your specific stage (e.g., Series A) to calculate a normalized score.

The evaluation includes Finance (Runway, Burn Multiple), Product (Retention, NPS), Growth (MoM, CAC), Team (Headcount vs Revenue), and Market (TAM Share).

Can I use this for different funding stages?

Yes, the capability uses stage-specific benchmarks for Pre-seed, Seed, Series A, and Series B to ensure the evaluation is contextually accurate.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

One connector, every AI

Startup Health Score works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.
