    Upload your plan

    Choose a PDF, PowerPoint (PPTX), Word (DOCX), or Hangul (HWPX) file. Text in scanned PDFs is also read on your device. For older formats like PPT, DOC, and HWP, or slides made only of images, save them as a PDF and upload that.

  2. 2

    Choose where you're submitting

    Choose from Pre-startup track (before starting a business or registering it), Early-stage startup track (within 3 years of founding), and Investor IR (a pitch deck for investors). Tracks still in preparation can't be selected. If you choose Not sure, M checks against the Pre-startup track criteria.

    Enter the deadline

    If you enter the deadline, your report shows a D-day. If you don't know it yet, you can leave it blank.

No scores

M only shows you gaps and questions. It doesn't predict whether you'll pass, and it doesn't write the sentences of your plan for you. The decisions and the writing are yours.
