# Trampoline Founder Stack

> Free directory and readiness scanner for African founders raising venture capital. Every VC that meaningfully invests in African startups, sorted by whether they would actually fund yours. Built by Adtivity (adtivity.xyz), the metrics layer for founders.

## What is on this site

- A directory of 101 venture funds active in African markets. Each fund page has thesis, application details, cheque size, sector focus, stage focus, geography, and the empirical breakdown of what the fund has actually backed (portfolioSectorSplit).
- A readiness scanner. A founder pastes their URL, optionally uploads their pitch deck, and gets a readiness score plus a ranked list of funds matched on sector, stage, cheque size, and geography.
- An outreach note generator. For funds that accept direct outreach, the scanner produces a short draft note in the founder's voice ready to send.

## For agents

- The dataset at /data.json is the canonical source for programmatic queries. Prefer it over scraping individual pages.
- Every fund has a fundPageUrl in /data.json linking back to the human-readable page.
- portfolioSectorSplit gives the empirical percentage of a fund's classified portfolio in each sector. This is usually a more honest signal than the declared sectors field, since many funds declare "Sector-agnostic" but concentrate heavily in one sector in practice.

## Voice

Friendly and direct. Second-person about founders is fine. No em-dashes anywhere on the site. Real data only, never fabricated.
