Our Mission

Make startup evaluation more transparent and useful. We turn scattered signals—product, customers, team, and execution—into a clear narrative founders can share.

  • Clear, actionable feedback instead of vague scores.
  • Consistent criteria aligned with industry standards.
  • Lightweight for founders, insightful for reviewers.

How It Works

01
Evidence Collection
We gather signals you provide (links, traction, team info).
02
Scoring Model
Signals mapped to a versioned rubric co-designed with experts.
03
Human Review
Edge cases sampled by experts to ensure fairness.
Methodology calibrated against historical outcomes.
