At 3F VC, we see hundreds of pitch decks and speak to numerous passionate innovators.
While many come forward with a “great idea”, we pay close attention to a few key signals that tell us whether a founder is truly ready to collaborate with investors.
Before you reach out to us, here’s what we believe you should be focusing on:
We’re not looking for just a grand concept — we want to see that you’ve gotten your hands dirty.
This means:
✅ Having a minimum viable product (MVP) — something we can see or use.
✅ Evidence from your users or customers (even if it's small or limited) — their problems, their payments, their loyalty.
✅ Validation that you’re solving a real-world problem — not something you think might be a problem.
At 3F VC, frugality is a key criterion for us.
We appreciate founders who can do more with less — whether that's:
✅ Making the most of available resources
✅ Staying flexible under financial pressures
✅ Prioritizing essentials over fluff
✅ Showing discipline and careful financial judgment in their operations
