🇫🇷 Investment Manager

I built Ugly Baby after spending years inside venture capital, reading, writing, and debating the internal investment memos founders never get to see.

Ugly Baby replicates that exact process.

No pitch coaching.
No storytelling polish.
No “investor readiness” theater.

Instead, startups are analyzed the way they are internally:

Under time pressure
With incomplete information
And zero emotional attachment

Ugly Baby surfaces what actually matters in investment decisions:
Where conviction breaks
Why a deal stalls internally
What quietly kills momentum before IC

Sometimes that means hearing your baby is ugly. Early.

Because fixing reality beats fixing slides, and ugly babies grow up faster when you’re honest with them.
