Five quests take you from sign-up to a sent application. Hit “Complete quest” on each one to earn XP. It's a game, but every step is the real thing.

The five quests

  1. Level 1

    Plant the seed

    Nine quick steps

    Tell us about your startup: your round, your market, your founders and your traction. A few quick questions, no deck needed.

    +60 XP
  2. Level 2

    Meet your funders

    Graded AAA+ to C-

    Every VC fund and accelerator in our directory gets a grade for your startup, worked out by code, with its next deadline. Rich Seed adds a rough chance range.

    +80 XP
  3. Level 3

    Do this next

    Your top 3, every day

    No 40-tab to-do list. Each day you see the three steps that matter most, and #1 is the one to do today.

    +100 XP
  4. Level 4

    Keep the streak

    Clear #1 every day

    Clear #1 and your flame stays lit, one day on fire at a time. Missed a day? The plan moves when life happens.

    +120 XP
  5. Level 5

    Boss level: apply

    Submit before it closes

    Deadlines and submit-by dates land on your calendar so you submit before they close: download the .ics on any plan, or sync Google Calendar on Rich Seed. Deadlines can change, so double-check each one on the funder's own site.

    +140 XP
