The structured operating system for early-stage startup cohorts. Equip every founder in your batch with a self-guided AI co-founder across ideation, customer validation, financial modeling, and grant prep — while your mentors track clean, standardized plans without wading through messy spreadsheets.
Program managers and mentors spend dozens of hours reviewing unstructured materials instead of providing high-leverage strategic advice.
Every founder submits their plan in a different format. Half the batch skips competitor analysis; the other half has zero realistic financial assumptions. Mentors spend the first month deciphering drafts.
Unresolved equity splits, unvalidated customer willingness-to-pay, or missing 3-quote supplier schedules surface two weeks before Demo Day or statutory grant deadlines.
Mentors spend critical 1-on-1 advisor sessions explaining basic concepts like TAM/SAM/SOM or debugging broken Excel models, instead of focusing on distribution and product traction.
A complete, standardized infrastructure that turns early-stage batches into high-performing, grant-ready ventures.
From Founder Motivations & Beachhead Personas to Ruthless Product Filtering and Go-To-Market playbooks, every founder is guided through an identical, rigorous standard. Advisors receive consistent, clean summaries rather than disparate documents.
Pre-checks applicant plans against statutory non-displacement criteria, mandatory 3-quote supplier schedules, and laptop expenditure limits for Ireland LEO & Enterprise Ireland, and compiles Innovate UK IFS 9-question responses and British Business Bank workbooks.
Co-founder disputes are the #1 killer of accelerator teams. Our blind-reveal survey asks co-founders sensitive questions in private (equity splits, financial survival runway, time dedication, IP transfer) and generates a shared heatmap so mentors can mediate before conflict arises.
Every startup can generate a bias-free survey, launch a hosted public page (startuppreflight.com/v/[slug]), test willingness-to-pay tiers, and synthesize qualitative feedback into quantifiable demand blocks.
Translates operational headcount, platform transaction fees, and survival budgets into a verified 36-month cashflow trough, breakeven crossover graph, and Worst-Case / Aggressive Growth scenario sandboxes.
Ideal for student entrepreneurs, academic researchers, and university spin-outs. Provides the structured scaffolding needed to turn research into commercial viability without getting lost in jargon.
Equips Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) and UK Growth Hubs with an automated feasibility compiler that ensures founders meet strict public grant criteria before submitting funding applications.
Accelerates portfolio companies from raw concept to investor-grade pitch within 8–12 weeks. Ensures founders understand their unit economics and customer acquisition channels before pitch day.
Enables corporate venture teams to run rapid 14-day concept validation sprints across dozens of internal ideas, filtering low-potential initiatives before committing build capital.
Interactive preview of what program managers and mentors see inside Startup Preflight. Track completion milestones, detect blind spots before Demo Day, and pre-screen grant compliance.
