Scored on what each program wants

Every accelerator backs a specific profile. We score your idea against what each program actually looks for, not a generic VC lens.

Common questions

Each score runs your idea through a 10-dimension rubric calibrated to what each program actually funds: their thesis, signals, and selection criteria. We don't promise admission; we give a clear-eyed read on how well your idea fits each program. Treat it like a calibrated mock, not an oracle.
