Venture intelligence that proves its work

Startup Screener turns raw founder material into cited venture decisions.

Upload decks, briefs, and operating files to generate evidence-linked scorecards, SWOT analysis, reviewer heatmaps, and export-ready investor bundles. Every high-stakes claim stays connected to source, confidence, fallback state, and human judgment.

Upload Studio

Screen a pitch deck with evidence, confidence, and red-flag previews.

Drag in supported files, attach optional structured context, and watch Startup Screener orchestrate the existing single-file quick-screen API into a batch-ready studio. Anonymous results remain public, rate-limited, and expire after 7 days.

The backend still receives one file per existing upload contract. The studio queues files locally and keeps merge/reorder guidance as a transparent preview.

Evidence-linked scoring

Every dimension is tied back to extracted slide evidence, flagged gaps, and confidence markers instead of opaque pass-or-fail output.

Role-aware workspace

Participants, mentors, and reviewers move through the same product with the right amount of visibility, privacy, and actionability.

Inside the workspace

Reviewer heatmaps, reports, and exports stay connected.

Program operations

Cohort dashboards, benchmarks, annotations, and exports let operators move from single-deck feedback to repeatable screening workflows.

Founder-led trust

Founder identity, privacy details, and current security posture are now visible on the public site.

Startup Screener is a founder-led product built and operated by Nay Linn Aung.

Public quick screens expire after 7 days, the current privacy and security posture is documented in dedicated routes, and the founder/company narrative is intentionally presented without implying a larger team or unsupported compliance program.

Founder-led build

Nay Linn Aung

Founder & Full-Stack Engineer

The public site now makes the current founder-led operating model explicit instead of leaving evaluator trust to inference.

Retention clarity

7-day public expiry

Anonymous quick-screen results and stored files are described publicly with the same 7-day retention behavior visible in the product and backend.

Documented trust pages

Privacy and security routes

The public site now exposes dedicated routes for privacy handling, security controls, and explicit non-claims around SOC 2 and broader compliance.

Standalone guide

The Entrepreneurship Guide now stands on its own as a public value driver.

The guide is no longer a hidden supporting page. It explains the decision logic behind opportunity quality, team strength, business model fit, financing, risk, innovation, and failure so evaluators can understand the framework even before they open a report.

Ten curriculum modules

Guide

Opportunity quality, people, business models, plans, financing, risk, case studies, platform design, innovation, and failure analysis live in one route.

Standalone learning value

Guide

The guide is not just supporting copy for the app. It is a usable entrepreneurship curriculum that explains how better venture decisions get made.

Direct bridge into the product

Guide

Founders can study the rubric logic in the guide, then move directly into demo reports and the screening workspace with the same framing.

Public proof

Adoption stats and anonymized cohort benchmarks stay visible on the homepage.

The public site now surfaces live adoption counts plus anonymized benchmark snapshots so the product feels like a working system, not only a design exercise.

Processed cohorts

Distinct cohorts with completed deck analysis.

Decks analyzed

Completed analyses that reached finished reports.

Reports generated

Saved review outputs available to reopen and export.

Benchmark snapshots

Cohort-level benchmark records materialized for operators.

Analysis pipeline

From upload to evidence-linked decision in minutes.

Every file moves through the same transparent pipeline: parse, classify, score, cite, and assemble a decision-ready report.

01Signal intake

Use the public quick screen for a fast first look or move directly into a cohort workspace for saved history and deeper review.

02Machine review

Parse, score, and summarize in the background

The pipeline extracts text, classifies content, scores across seven dimensions, and assembles SWOT plus narrative feedback.

03Decision layer

Review evidence and act on the next move

Founders get clearer revision targets while mentors and program teams get annotations, comparisons, and export-ready deliverables.

Why teams keep it open

The product shows why a score exists, not just the score itself.

That matters when a founder needs concrete revision guidance and a reviewer needs enough context to trust the result.

Transparent by default

Core principle

Confidence warnings, fallback markers, and supporting evidence stay visible so reviewers understand how each result was produced.

Designed for throughput

Core principle

The interface surfaces status, queue health, and next actions quickly, which matters when cohorts are moving in parallel.

Closer to a product terminal

Core principle

The new visual direction borrows from modern market-intelligence tools: brighter, denser, and more decision-oriented than a brochure site.

Who it serves

Built for both single-deck feedback and multi-cohort operations.

The redesign keeps the product legible for first-time founders while giving operators a stronger sense of throughput, rigor, and control.

Founders

Workspace

Mentors

Reviewer

Add contextual annotations on top of the machine baseline without losing the underlying evidence trail.

Accelerators

Anonymized benchmarks

Public cohort snapshots after the challenge

These cards avoid cohort or organization names while still showing the kind of benchmark pattern operators can inspect once multiple reports have been completed.
