Only a tiny fraction get interviews.
Fewer still receive feedback.

Programs don't reject founders because they lack funding.
They reject because only a small number truly stand out.
There is no infrastructure to help the other 99% learn between batches.
Accelerators filter well. Founders rarely get better.
No rewriting
No scoring
No acceptance prediction

They describe a specific human, a real problem, and clear learning.
This product forces that level of specificity.
