LinkedInAskLeo is an AI tool built on Leo's investment framework. It is not a substitute for direct VC feedback.
Most first-time founders get feedback too late — after they've already pitched and been rejected. By then, the market sizing was wrong, the competition slide missed the point, and the team story didn't land. AskLeo asks the hard questions before you pitch.

I have a PhD in Bioengineering from Harvard and did my postdoc at MIT Broad Institute. I'm a General Partner at FoundersX Ventures, an AI and deep-tech VC fund, with 10 papers, 6 patents, two research projects that led to startups, and one technology licensed to Quanterix (NASDAQ: QTRX). I'm a founding leadership member of Nucleate.
A lot of first-time founders and students have reached out asking for feedback on their ideas. I can't always respond to everyone — so I built this instead. Still a work in progress.
