28 questions calibrées pour l'Afrique francophone. Un diagnostic structuré sur 6 dimensions, aligné sur le cadre OHADA (droit des affaires commun, 17 pays) et les attentes des investisseurs régionaux.
The problem isn't supply or demand.
It's the translation between the two.
28 questions · 12 minutes · Gratuit
Anonymous · No sign-up · Not a pitch
Structured questions across 6 key dimensions — team, market, business model, financials, traction, governance. The same framework a fund uses in pre-due diligence.
Weighted score · 6-dimension radar · 3 critical gaps
Yelence detects inconsistencies across your answers, weights each dimension by its actual importance to investors, and pinpoints the gaps most likely to block a raise.
Full analysis · Prioritized roadmap · PDF export
Per-dimension analysis, detected red flags, prioritized action plan, investor lens — a structured document ready to share with your advisors or present to a fund.
An investor doesn't average your strengths. They look for what doesn't hold together.
Yelence analyzes the relationships between your 28 answers. Strong growth without a documented acquisition channel isn't a positive — it's a contradiction that reduces conviction, regardless of the score.
'We have €200K ARR' and '€200K ARR, documented' are not the same thing.
What you claim and what you prove are treated differently. A dossier's credibility rests on the quality of its evidence, not its volume.
Investor cognition is asymmetric: the first obstacle stops everything. Strengths don't compensate.
Opaque cap table, founder dependency, missing regulatory compliance — each can block a conversation independently of the rest. Blocking risks are not points deducted; they are stop signals.
An investor doesn't evaluate a fintech under BCEAO licensing with the same framework as a B2B SaaS in traction.
Dimensions are weighted by your stage, sector, and geography. Pre-revenue: team and execution signals dominate. Scaling: unit economics and governance take over. Calibrated for the francophone ecosystem and OHADA framework.
The full report identifies your critical blockers, documents the evidence investors expect, and gives you a prioritized 3-phase action plan over 90 days.

The report helped me identify exactly why our two investor meetings had gone nowhere. The governance section was our blind spot.
