Elevent Index is a scoring framework, not a company, designed by Dr. Bitan Ghosh to solve a problem most due diligence tools never address: what happens to an evaluation method after the money moves? For most investors using conventional scorecards, the answer is that it disappears, replaced by an entirely different set of portfolio metrics.
A Score Investors Can Apply at Every Stage
Using Elevent Index, investors can apply the same underlying scoring architecture across a startup’s full lifecycle, measuring Investment Quality, Funding Readiness, and Capital Readiness from the moment a company first appears on their radar through screening, full due diligence, and investment committee review.
Into the Portfolio and Beyond
That continuity extends into portfolio monitoring and follow-on funding decisions, where a rising or falling Capital Readiness Score across rounds becomes a signal in its own right, evidence of whether a company is genuinely maturing rather than simply getting bigger.
Weighting That Adjusts With the Company
In the earliest stages, when little exists beyond a founder and an idea, leadership capability and market opportunity dominate the score. Later, as a company approaches an exit, the comparison between successive scores carries more weight than any single snapshot.
Institutional Memory as a Feature
By preserving a consistent evaluation thread from first pitch to eventual acquisition, merger, or public offering, Elevent Index aims to prevent investors from having to rebuild their evaluation logic every time a portfolio company hits a new stage.
