01 · The problem
The startup ecosystem is broken
It wasn’t designed. It was assembled: a separate tool for each role, with the same company re-typed into each one. By the last copy, the details no longer match.

03 · The solution
04 · The platform
Every module uses the same record
Program management, advisory, capital and marketplace all work from the same founder record. Founders see their own profile on their phone.
Three reviewers score each application on one weighted rubric. The table ranks them by score, and you advance the strongest.
They see this week’s sessions, what’s due and what changed.
Matching uses stage, sector and the gaps the founder named. Session notes save to the founder’s record.

What it is
Founders use the platform free. It holds their personal, company and startup profiles, and everything the people around them add.
Why it exists
A founder is the only person who works with every part of the ecosystem: the program, the advisor, the investor and the provider. Everything else connects through their profile.
How it works
They fill in their profiles once, and every module uses what they entered. Their profiles stay with them after a program ends.
06 · The paid layer
One price for the whole platform: $495 a month
$495
A month, flat, for the whole platform.
Program Management, Advisory and Mentor Management, Investors and Capital and Providers and Marketplace, with Nova. Academy, Resources, Community, Communicate, My Stuff, Connect, Tools and the Help Center stay free.
No hidden costs
One price covers every module and every seat.
No user fees
Add staff, reviewers, advisors and founders at no extra cost.
Flat forever
The price does not rise as your program grows.
Founders free
Founders never pay, inside a program or on their own.
07 · Why us
Everything in one place
One record sits under everything you run. You answer questions by opening a view, and nobody spends a week reconciling data.
Your data isn’t split across tools. When someone asks what last quarter produced, or which founders are stuck this week, you look it up.
Piloted with UCSD
Fulbright Entrepreneurship Initiative co-founded

08 · Nova AI
Nova answers from your program’s own record
Nova answers questions, suggests a founder’s next step, recommends what fits them and explains the numbers. It shows up inside the screens you already use.
Nova · On the record, in context
Which founders are stuck this week?
Three flagged: two stalled on pricing actions from their last advisory session, one unresponsive for nine days. All three are on their records.
