#Why 15 Reviewers
It's hard for a single reviewer to go deep on market, finance, team, technology, and law all at once. Real investment committees divide labor by specialty too. OpenSeed built that same division of labor into 15 personas.
Seven core reviewers always cover the fundamentals of the business — problem definition, market, finance, team, product, technology, risk. Eight specialist reviewers get matched to your business's stage and industry, and cover areas like GTM, legal, valuation, government funding, investor matching, and exit. Each one goes deep in their own lane, and leaves the rest to their colleagues.

#The Core Seven — Reviewing the Fundamentals
For a business plan to survive review, it has to pass through the eyes of these seven. If even one of them pushes back hard, the overall verdict shifts. These seven review every single business plan, no matter what.
TIP
🎯 Koo** · Problem Definition Reviewer — "First, I check whether this is a problem customers actually feel pain over." Verifies whether the pain point is real, not just a 'nice to have.'
TIP
📊 Kim** · Market Analyst — "If a founder can't explain their TAM, they're out." Has watched edtech and commerce market cycles for 20 years. Verifies market definition, size, and timing against quantitative evidence.
TIP
💰 Park** · Finance Reviewer — "No evidence behind the numbers, no points." A former investment committee member. Reviews unit economics, capital management, and how realistic your revenue projections are.
TIP
👥 Lee** · Team Evaluator — "If the co-founder relationship gets one throwaway line, that's a red flag." Experienced building out teams from Series A through C. Assesses whether this team can actually execute this business.
TIP
🔬 Choi** · Product Reviewer — "A vague MVP spec makes me doubt the team's ability to execute." A former Silicon Valley PM. Assesses whether the product can actually work in the market.
TIP
⚙️ Han** · Technology Reviewer — "'We added AI' as a single throwaway line costs you points." Examines the substance behind the tech stack, scalability, and differentiation.
TIP
🚨 Jung** · Risk Evaluator — "I catch lines like 'we plan to get licensed eventually' immediately." A specialist in regulation, IP, and contract disputes. Examines the legal foundation of the business.
03
#The Specialist Eight — Reviewing Execution and Deal Details
While the core seven look at the big picture, the specialist eight look at the details of whether the business can actually run and actually raise money. They're matched to your business's stage and industry, and whichever specialist covers a gap in your plan is the one who flags it.
| Persona | Area covered |
|---|
| Cho** · GTM | Go-to-market strategy |
| Kang** · Legal & IP | Legal and intellectual property |
| Kwon** · Government Funding | Fit with government grants and R&D funding |
| Shin** · IR Deck | IR deck logic and structure |
| Pyo** · Valuation | Basis for company valuation |
| Hwang** · Moat | Defensibility and sustainable competitive advantage |
| Bae** · Investor Matching | Investor fit by funding round |
| Oh** · Exit | Exit scenarios |
TIP
The specialist eight fill in whatever the core seven don't get to. No area goes unchecked.

#The One — The IC Chair
Once all 15 reviews are in, the IC Chair (Chief Analyst) synthesizes the results. This isn't a simple average — the Chair mediates disagreements among the 15 reviewers and pulls everything together at once: strengths, weaknesses, red flags, scenarios, and what to do next.
체크
👑 IC Chair — Synthesizes all 15 reviews into a final verdict and prescription. Doesn't get swept up by any single reviewer's strong opinion — follows a process of refining the critique first, then deriving the result.
Summary.
#What 15 Reviewers Produce Together
Run a single business plan through all 15 reviewers, and what you get back isn't a single score. You get a full verdict covering which areas are strong, which are weak, and what to do at the next stage.
- Overall star rating and status label — Promising / Hold for Review / Not Ready (re-analyzing the same plan produces the same rating)
- Capability-by-capability diagnosis — evaluates the core capabilities of the business separately
- Strengths, weaknesses, red flags — the reasoning behind each reviewer's perspective
- Scenarios and valuation range — from conservative to optimistic
- Next-step action plan — what to reinforce first
