    The signal we look for before we invest time

    Hypergility May 21, 2026

    Founders ask us "how do I get on your radar?" The honest answer: ship something this week that you weren't asked to ship. That's the signal we look for before we put a Hypergility partner in the room.

    We don't run a pitch process. We run a signal process. The difference matters because pitch quality correlates weakly with founder outcome, and motion correlates strongly.

    The three artefacts we want to see: a transcript or note from a real customer conversation in the last 14 days; a built thing (Figma, prototype, landing page) that didn't exist a month ago; a written decision log showing what you chose not to do.

    None of these need to be polished. They need to be real, dated, and yours.

    “Show me what you shipped when no one was watching. That's your signal.”
    Cruz Chilaka, Hypergility
