The problem

Startup evaluation is still slow, uneven, and hard to defend.

Institutions make high-stakes startup decisions with fragmented tools, incomplete research, and no shared standard. Every reviewer ends up assembling their own version of the truth.

Timelined Foundry

Incubators, universities, and startup programs

Too many applicants. Too little consistency.

Cohorts arrive by the hundreds. Teams screen in spreadsheets, forms, and inboxes — so the same founder can look strong to one reviewer and weak to another.

Timelined Analyst

VCs, accelerators, angels, and family offices

Diligence takes too long to become comparable.

Market research, founder quality, financials, and risk live in separate tabs. Partners get memos that are hard to compare across deals.

Timelined Sentinel

Banks, NBFCs, and financial institutions

Startup credit risk is hard to underwrite cleanly.

Cash flow, promoter risk, documents, and policy checks are assembled by hand — leaving credit officers without a clear lending brief.

What breaks for everyoneResearch is manual. Claims go unchecked. Decisions leave no evidence trail.
  • Founder answers live in forms and chat threads
  • Market and competitor research is rebuilt per applicant
  • Scores and recommendations are hard to compare or audit later

Products

Three products. Different jobs. Same evidence trail.

Programs, investors, and lenders need different decisions. Each product is built for one audience — Compass runs underneath all three.

Foundry

Incubators, universities, and programs

Screen many applicants the same way.

Built for volume — comparable shortlists, not deep diligence.

Compass · Founder–Idea Fit

Shared across Foundry, Analyst, and Sentinel. Scores whether the founder has the skills, experience, insight, network, and execution ability to build this idea.

Evidence architecture

Claims, facts and judgment never share a label.

Timelined keeps a score separate from the quality of evidence behind it. Reviewers see what is known, what is inferred and what still needs verification.
