Mind Reasoner

Stop Pitching. Start Validating.

The shift: Create investor minds. Test any pitch. Know how they’ll respond before spending months on the wrong investors.

Result: Close funding rounds faster by pitching what investors actually want to hear.


What You Can Predict

Pitch Resonance

Know before pitching:

  • Does your story resonate?
  • Which metrics matter to them?
  • What concerns will they raise?
  • Which proof points build credibility?

Test pitches with investor minds.

Valuation Range

Validate numbers:

  • Is your valuation realistic?
  • What range will they accept?
  • Which multiples do they use?
  • What justifications matter?

Propose acceptable valuations.

Investment Priorities

Understand focus:

  • What do they invest in (vs. what they say)?
  • Growth vs. profitability priorities?
  • Which risks worry them most?
  • What makes them pass?

Target right investors.

Decision Criteria

Navigate process:

  • What convinces them to invest?
  • Which partners need to approve?
  • What timeline do they operate on?
  • What kills deals for them?

Understand their process.


How to Predict

Create Investor Mind

Upload transcripts from investor discussions:

  • Initial meetings
  • Pitch sessions
  • Due diligence calls
  • Past interactions

Training: 5-15 minutes per investor

Test Any Scenario

Validate pitch:

$> "Our pitch: [your story]. Does this resonate with you?
>What concerns would you have?"

Check valuation:

$> "$50M pre-money on $5M ARR. Is this acceptable?
>What's your typical range for Series B?"

Understand priorities:

$> "What matters most to you in Series B investments?
>Growth rate? Unit economics? Market size?"
Refine and Close

  • Is this valuation acceptable?
  • What concerns will you raise?

Get answers. Refine pitch.

After meetings:

  • Did they respond as predicted?

Use Mind Reasoner through Claude Code

No coding. Just natural conversation in Claude.

You:

$> "Create an investor mind for Michael Park, Partner at Sequoia,
>using /Documents/meetings/sequoia-partner-meetings.vtt"

Mind Reasoner:

Training investor mind... (~10 min)

You:

$> "We're Series B company: $5M ARR, 150% NRR, growing 3x YoY.
>Pitching at $50M pre-money valuation. What concerns
>will you have? Is this valuation acceptable?"

Mind Reasoner:

Based on Michael's investment patterns:
Valuation concerns:
- $50M on $5M ARR = 10x multiple
- Michael typically invests at 6-8x for Series B
- This is at high end of his range
What he will think:
"10x is steep. Need exceptional growth or margins
to justify this. What's the path to $20M ARR?"
Other concerns:
- 150% NRR is good but not exceptional
- Wants to see new customer growth, not just expansion
- Will ask about CAC payback and unit economics
- Needs competitive moat story
Likely outcome at $50M: Passes or counters at $35-40M
What would make $50M acceptable:
- Path to $20M ARR in 18 months (proven)
- Strong new logo growth (not just expansion)
- Clear competitive differentiation
- Best-in-class unit economics
Michael will invest at $40-45M if you show these.
