Improvement insights showing where to level up.
Readiness Scorecard
A scorecard of your readiness in Problem, Market, Team, Financials, and more.
If your Evaluation Scoring shows potential:

- Top projects will then access UNION Capital’s investment process.
- 60% of submitted projects with a score above 4.1 have received funding (avg. €550k)
This is not just a toolkit. It’s your entry gate into the UNION Venture Investment pathway.
kit → scoring → builder → investment

FAQs
The Union Validator Kit is designed for early-stage founders and entrepreneurs who want to structure their startup professionally. Whether you’re still in ideation, preparing for pre-seed, or applying to accelerators, the kit helps you present your project in a way investors understand and respect.
We designed the kit as a 7-day action plan, but you can move at your own pace. Most founders spend 5–8 hours across a week to fill in the essentials. You’ll walk away with a structured workspace, a working forecast, and a clear investor story.
No. The Google Sheets financial forecast template is built for non-finance founders. It guides you with assumptions and examples, and automatically generates the 3-year forecast, charts, and key KPIs like CAC and LTV.
The Notion workspace is central to the kit because it’s interactive and modular. If you prefer, you can export the content into Google Docs or other tools, but you’ll lose the guided navigation and progress tracker that make it so effective.
Yes. Once you duplicate the Notion workspace and download the templates, they’re yours to keep forever. You can update and reuse them for future projects at no additional cost.
Not within the base kit. But when you submit your project to Union Scoring (included for free), we do review your materials as part of the evaluation. You’ll receive a detailed report with improvement insights and readiness scores across all areas.
You’ll receive a scoring report showing strengths, weaknesses, and improvement suggestions. If your project shows potential, you may be invited to join the Union Builder Program, where we work hands-on with startups to prepare them to access UNION Capital’s investment process.
Your startup information stays yours. When you apply to Union Scoring, we only use your data internally for evaluation. We never share or disclose details outside UNION without your explicit permission.
Here’s the best part: if your startup is accepted into the Union Builder Programme after your evaluation scoring, the full value of the kit is returned. That means your pathway to investment could effectively start at zero cost.
"The Union Validator Kit gave us the structure we didn’t even know we were missing. The Notion workspace made our gaps obvious, the financial model gave us confidence, and the pitch deck finally made sense. Within a week we had a story we were proud to share with investors."
