Private by design.

Assessment data is stored in a private, access-controlled database, and documents are held in private file storage. Access is limited by role. Raw startup evidence is not shared with programme managers or partners unless the founder has explicitly authorised it.

The free pilot is open now.

There is no fixed application cap. To protect the quality of human review, onboarding and delivery may be scheduled in waves. Participants agree to provide structured feedback. Testimonials are optional and are published only with explicit approval.
