GitDealFlow, the whole pitch — in 800 words.

Hook

Crunchbase tells you the day a startup raised. We tell you the day they started preparing — 21 to 47 days earlier — by reading their public GitHub.

Story (1 sentence)

In 2023 I passed on a dev-tool company because the deck looked weak; eleven months later they raised at a 9× valuation, and their public GitHub had been telling that story the whole time — five new repos, a 4× contributor expansion, a clean velocity curve I would have read in two minutes if I had known to look.

Three objections — collapsed

1. “GitHub data is too noisy.” Two-period confirmation + contributor-quality filter cuts false-positives below 8%. The methodology is published.
2. “The good orgs are private.” The 219-startup panel is venture-backed and 100% public-GitHub. Private repos are absent because they don’t need to be there for the signal to fire.
3. “Why €9.97/mo when comparable tools cost €1k+/mo?” We don’t have a sales team. The buyer is a developer-investor writing €5k–€50k checks, not a partner with a six-figure data budget. Pricing matches the buyer.
