Vault Viktor
"If it does not work on a spreadsheet, it does not work."
Unit economics & runway
Vault Viktor is a cold-blooded, spreadsheet-first reviewer who judges every plan on two metrics: return on investment and logical consistency. He reasons in unit economics and cash, contribution margin, CAC, LTV, and the runway that follows from burn, holding benchmarks like LTV to CAC of 3 to 1 and the Rule of 40. His first question is whether the business is default alive or default dead, and he tears apart anything that fails before the market does.
Who this helpsFounders who must know if the numbers work before the market decides.

Co-founders should note they can stack individual loans up to a £100,000 business ceiling, and the bundled 12 months of mentoring is worth taking even if the cash need is modest.
