What's inside your Pioneer subscription
VC Chamber

Your private monitoring platform — track your portfolio + watchlist, get alerted to founder updates, fundraising signals, and material changes the moment they hit our pipeline.

VedAI methodology

The full nine-pillar scoring engine. Drill into how every score was computed, weighting choices, and the audit trail behind any number.

24,000+ startup intelligence

Live access to the entire IVL universe — every Indian startup we cover, with MCA filings, RBI charges, GST data, and announced rounds cross-checked into a single dossier.

Claude Opus chatbot

An LLM analyst trained on the IVL knowledge graph. Ask it anything about a startup, sector, or investor — get answers grounded in the database, not the open internet.

MCA + news lookups

On-demand company filings, director histories, charge filings, and news mentions for any registered Indian entity. No separate ROC subscription needed.

Thesis-matched assessments

Save your investment thesis in plain English. We surface the startups that match it weekly, scored against your own framework — not ours.

Pillar One

A research engine that justifies its own subscription.

24,000+ Indian startups. Each one scored across nine pillars — team, traction, market, moat, capital efficiency, governance, distribution, product depth, ecosystem. Each one cross-checked against MCA filings, RBI charges, GST data, and announced rounds.

You stop trusting pitch-deck numbers without verification. The dossier is on screen before the founder finishes their second slide.

Replaces a junior associate, a research subscription, and three browser tabs of LinkedIn stalking. ₹999/month, locked.

Pillar Two

Founding-member status, recognised once, yours forever.

Pioneer Investors are formally recognised as the people who joined first. Your standing is permanent. Even if you eventually leave, that status was earned and is part of the record.

Your Pioneer Investor badge appears on your IVL profile, on your downloadable certificate, and on the public Pioneer roster (if you opt in). You also receive a small Pioneer welcome kit by post — see the perks list further down.

A founding-member line on your profile, signed and dated. The kind of credit that earns the right to compound only because you took the bet early.

Pillar Three

Direct access to the people building this.

Pioneers do not just use IVL. They shape it.

Every month, you receive a written Pioneer Brief from the founding team. Real depth. What we shipped, what we learned, what is next. Things public users do not see.

Every quarter, you join a live Pioneer Town Hall with the CEO and C-Suite. You see the roadmap before it goes public. You vote on what gets built next.

A small Pioneer Council of 8–12 Pioneers is hand-picked each quarter for an intimate working session — earned by activity, not by paying. Anyone can be selected.

A Pioneer-only WhatsApp channel keeps you in the loop in real time — including private heads-up on rounds we score before they go public.

Pillar Four

Every future upgrade, included. Forever.

IVL will quadruple in scope over the coming years. New surfaces. New modules. New intelligence layers — including the screening calibration suite, sector heatmaps, and cap-table reverse engineering. Public pricing will climb to capture each new capability.

Your Pioneer seat does not change. Whatever we ship, you receive — included in your locked rate, no upsell, no upgrade prompts.

You also see every new feature first. Two ways: a polished early-access lane (default), and an opt-in alpha lane where your feedback shapes the final version.

What lands when

Three deliverables. Real dates.

Pioneer status is not a status collectible. It's a working membership with shipped commitments. Here's what your seat earns you, on the calendar.

First call · 15 June 2026

Monthly closed-door roadmap call

A live 60-minute call with the founding team. You see what we shipped that month, what's coming, and you vote on what we build next. Recorded for Pioneers who can't attend live.

Active from day one of your seat

Fund profile verification priority

Your fund profile gets fast-track human-reviewed verification within 48 hours (non-Pioneers wait the standard 7-day SLA). Verification badge appears across your IVL surface and on the public Pioneer roster.

Every public feature, 14 days early

Early access to new investor modules

Two weeks of head-start on every new IVL module — IC Memo Generator expansions, DD Framework presets, sector heatmaps, cap-table reverse engineering, screening calibration suite. Default access. No queueing.

On top of these, you also get the founding-member perks above (locked rate forever, recognition on the public roster, monthly Pioneer Brief, Pioneer-only WhatsApp channel including private round heads-up, and the Pioneer welcome kit).

The maths, simply

A regular Investor seat is ₹2,999/month at launch. Yours is ₹999/month — locked.

After one year: ₹24,000 saved at minimum. After three years: ₹72,000+ at minimum. If regular pricing increases — as is typical for SaaS as platforms mature — your savings widen accordingly.

IVL does not commit to specific future pricing changes. We commit to the principle: regular pricing reflects regular value. Pioneer pricing is locked.
