How it works

Four steps, and you never wonder where you stand

Every stage tells you whose turn it is — yours or ours — and what happens next.

  1. 01

    Talk it through

    Scout, our intake assistant, asks about your idea in plain conversation. No forms, no fixed questionnaire — it follows where your answers lead and stops when it understands.

    About 15 minutes

  2. 02

    Get your summary

    You receive a written summary of what we understood: the shape of your idea, and the open questions worth your thought. Our team reviews the same submission.

    Usually under a minute

  3. 03

    Meet an expert

    If we want to go further, you pick a time that suits you and meet one of our experts online. The invitation lands in your calendar automatically.

    You choose the slot

  4. 04

    Move to deal flow

    Share contracts and agreements, talk directly with our team, and keep everything about the deal in one place.

    One room, both sides

A preview of the dashboard: an idea called ClinicFlow has passed review, its progress bar shows the interview stage in play, and the next step is to choose a meeting time.

What you get

A dashboard that answers “what now?” before you ask

No inbox archaeology, no chasing an update. Your idea has one page, and that page always shows the single next thing.

  • Your summary, in writing

    What we understood about your idea, and the open questions worth your thought — the same document our reviewers read.

  • Booking that books itself

    Pick a slot that suits you. The calendar invitation and joining link arrive without anyone emailing back and forth.

  • One room for the deal

    Contracts, signed copies, and the conversation about them, all in the same place as everything that came before.

Where we stand

An assistant asks. A person decides.

Scout exists to make the telling easier, not to sit in judgement of what you told it.

Built for any field

A biotech venture and a neighbourhood bakery need different questions. Scout adapts rather than forcing both through the same form.

A person decides

Every submission is read and decided on by our team. Scout gathers and summarises; it never issues a verdict.

Yours stays yours

Your conversation, your files, and your documents stay attached to the idea they belong to — not pooled across your other ideas, and never across anybody else’s.

Questions

Before you start

What happens right after I submit?

Scout writes your summary — usually inside a minute — and the same submission goes to our review team. You will see the status on your dashboard and be emailed when it changes.

Can I edit my answers later?

Each idea gets one conversation with Scout, so it is worth finishing in one sitting. You can leave and come back — your place is saved — but once you finish, the conversation closes.

Does an AI decide whether my idea is good?

No. Scout only asks questions and writes up what you said. Approving, rejecting, or asking for more information is always a person on our team.

How many ideas can I have going at once?

Five in progress. Once one is completed or closed, its slot frees up. Contact support if you need more room.

What does it cost?

Submitting is free. If we go further together, terms are agreed with you directly in the deal room — no surprises tucked into a signup flow.

Ready to tell us about it?

The conversation takes about ten minutes, and you will know what we understood before you close the tab.
