Use case · Portfolio owners

Which venture needs you.

Portfolio holders run more ventures in parallel than anyone can sit in calls for. Krans evaluates every venture on the same scale, shows you the whole portfolio in one overview sorted by which one needs attention, and lets you ask one venture or all of them.

Company eval

On the same scale, with the evidence.

Every venture is scored on the same scale from its own customer conversations, so you compare them on evidence rather than on the pitch.

Open Company eval

Company eval

The weakest link in each venture.

For each venture Krans names the weakest link and the next thing to prove, so you know where your time and help matter most.

Willingness to pay rests on two vague remarks from one account.

Next thing to prove: ask for a number on the next three calls with operations leads.
