FAQ

Common questions.

Is it free?

Yes. There's no fee, and running an assessment doesn't give Althra any equity.

Who sees my deck?

The Althra team. We never share your deck or assessment with investors without your permission.

How do you decide?

We look at your unique insight, understanding of the market and founder–problem fit across your application, deck and track record. It's the same lens we use to pick Althra cohorts.

What stages and sectors do you take?

Idea through Pre-Series A. Any sector can apply. Our investor network is strongest in B2B and vertical software.

I got "Not Ready". Now what?

Fix what the report flags. Build a narrative that shows you understand the market better than anyone. Run it again once you see signals that back your vision.

Is this the Althra incubator application?

No. It's a separate, free tool. If you want to join a cohort, apply at althra.ca. althra.ca.
