Paste a company name or URL and get a 30-second read on the domain before the founder call: namespace strength, sector benchmark, and upgrade likelihood.
The Pre-Pitch Domain Scan is built for investors who want a fast, deterministic read on a company's domain before a founder meeting. Paste a brand name (e.g. "exampleeee") or a URL (e.g. "https://getexampleeee.io/about") and get back three quick signals in seconds — no login, no credit cost, no AI guesswork.
The tool reuses the same brandability scoring engine and sector benchmark data that power the rest of the Grails toolkit, so the read you get here is consistent with what a founder would see if they ran the deeper diagnostic tools themselves. Sector is auto-inferred from the company homepage when a URL is provided, with a manual override if you'd rather pick it yourself.
The output is a single compact card showing namespace strength (TLD quality, prefix/suffix noise, stretched spelling, hyphens, length, pronounceability), sector benchmark (percentile against the sector average), and upgrade likelihood (a 0–100 score derived from the gap between current namespace and sector norms plus deterministic heuristic flags). A "Flag for the founder" snippet generates a neutral, copy-ready paragraph you can paste into your notes or follow-up email.
No. The Pre-Pitch Domain Scan is fully public. No login, no email capture, no credit cost.
It combines the gap between the current namespace strength and the sector benchmark with deterministic heuristic flags — modifier prefixes/suffixes (get-, try-, -app, -hq), non-.com TLDs, stretched spelling (repeated letters), hyphenation, and length. No AI or LLM calls.
From the same dataset that powers the Sector Naming Patterns tool — brandability scores across 88K+ company domains, grouped by sector.
For multi-domain audits, use the VC Portfolio Domain Audit. The Pre-Pitch Domain Scan is the single-domain, pre-meeting version.
