Every intake round buries your reviewers. LaunchValid turns the pile into a ranked cohort, gives your committee a written memo on each founder, and moves the ones you pick straight into a funded validation workspace, all billed to your program.
Programs run on the Business plan. We will set you up and price it for your cohort size.
Each step feeds the next, so the work your team does to review a founder is the same work that funds them once you say yes.
Import a CSV or add applicants by hand. A hosted application form is available too, though never required, so screening works even where your review process cannot host an outside tool.
Every applicant is scored against your rubric, criterion by criterion, with a written rationale for each. The cohort comes back ranked, so triage that took days takes minutes.
Assign reviewers, collect their recommendations and interview notes side by side, and generate an investment-committee memo that compiles the score, the reviews, and how your program can help.
One click turns an accepted applicant into a full validation workspace, funded by your program, so your founders start real research the day they are in.
Your criteria and weights, a per-criterion score with rationale, and a ranked cohort view. A sensible default rubric is ready on day one.
Multiple reviewers per applicant, recommendations and interview notes in one panel, and per-reviewer round-robin assignment.
A candid internal memo per applicant: snapshot, problem and traction, market and moat, strengths, honest weaknesses, and how your program helps.
Accepted founders move straight into validation research, decks, and a data room, paid for by your program account.
Run a live, shared session with a founder inside their own research. You work together in one room, and what you cover folds back into their project when you wrap up.
An optional application form applicants fill in, with entries landing straight in your cohort. CSV import and manual entry work just as well.
Buy pooled credits per cohort. They do not expire, so you spend them when your cycle runs.
Buy credits your program spends across the whole cohort. One account pays; every founder draws from the same pool.
Credits do not expire. Buy for an intake round and consume them when the cycle runs, whether you admit once or twice a year.
When the program ends, hand a founder off to their own plan. Their workspace and history come with them.
Tell us about your program and we will reply with the details and pricing for your cohort size.
No. Admin CSV import and manual entry are first-class and permanent. Some programs cannot embed an outside tool in their review pipeline, so screening works end to end without one.
Screening is priced to run across your whole intake, so scoring hundreds of applicants stays affordable. The full research run only happens when you explicitly advance a founder, so the expensive step is always your decision.
Your program buys pooled credits and the whole cohort draws from that pool. Credits do not expire, so you can buy per intake round rather than on an annual commitment.
No. The committee memo is an internal, advisory document for your team only. It is candid by design and never shared with the founder.
You can move a founder to their own self-serve account when the program ends. Their research, decks, and data room stay with them.
