Jev VC is a tool that evaluates startup pitches by scoring them across nine dimensions—team, traction, market, timing, pain, defensibility, and business model—weighted according to seed investor preferences. Term sheet valuations are anchored to 2026 median seed rounds and adjust based on the pitch score.

They have modest savings and potential seed funding ($20k-$50k) but lack marketing expertise and are unsure how to locate trustworthy partners or structure equity arrangements.
