More success stories from every cohort
42% of startups fail because they build something nobody wants. Evidnt helps more founders build what people actually want, so more of every cohort survives and becomes a story you get to tell.
Start free in your application form. No setup, no commitment.
See howChange the odds for every cohort
Evidnt changes your odds twice. Stronger founders in: you see who has already done real discovery before you interview anyone. Stronger startups out: every founder does proper discovery, not just the few who already would have.
Each dot is a founder. The greyed ones built something nobody wanted.
A few more survivors per cohort changes the story you get to tell.

See who's onto something real
A polished application can't tell you who has really talked to customers. Ask every applicant for their Evidnt report and you'll see the real conversations behind the idea, so you know who's onto something before you admit them.
See what a founder's report looks like
Here is the shareable report a founder gets with Evidnt: the validation score, the patterns across conversations, and the ones that customers confirmed. This is what a founder who is onto something looks like.
A clear read on whether this founder is onto something
What customers keep asking for, found across every conversation
Confirmed by the customer, not self-reported
More survivors, better stories, a stronger brand
A track record that compounds
Every founder who makes it is a logo on your alumni page and a line in next year's pitch to applicants. More winners attract better founders, who become more winners.
More survivors
More success stories
Better applicants next year
Who become your next winners
If you take equity, it adds up
Hold a stake in your founders? Every one that builds the right thing keeps that stake alive. Save a few each cohort, run multiple cohorts a year, and it compounds well past your costs.
Founders in your cohort
Some fail for a preventable reason
Evidnt helps more of them survive
More stakes stay alive, every cohort
Two ways to build stronger cohorts
Admit more founders who are already building the right thing
Add one line to your application form inviting applicants to include their Evidnt shareable report. You see who has really talked to customers before you interview anyone, so you select a stronger cohort. It costs your program nothing.
Add .md to the end of any report link and it opens as clean text, ready to paste into Claude or ChatGPT. Nothing for the founder to set up.
Add one of these to your application form. Pick whichever fits:
Optional: share your customer discovery report link from Evidnt (evidnt.ai) with your application.
Get your cohorts building the right thing
Want every founder doing structured discovery during the program? We set up your cohort and turn on Pro for each founder, working with you directly. Once a founder's space is Pro, it stays Pro for good, even after the program ends.
What program directors ask
Teaching it and getting every founder to properly do it are very different things. Evidnt does the heavy lifting. Even a founder who has never done customer discovery can do it properly, because the tool guides and leads every step.
Two things stop founders, and Evidnt takes both. One is the method. Most founders have never done proper customer discovery, so they pitch instead: they describe the idea and ask whether people like it, which tells them nothing they can build on. Evidnt writes the questions that test their assumptions.
The other is who to talk to. Friends and family only go so far, and past that a founder has to approach strangers. That is the wall. Every founder gets an open link they can post wherever their customers already are, in a group chat or a LinkedIn group. Whoever taps it has the conversation with their Evidnt Assistant, and anyone who is not their customer is filtered out before they reach the questions.
Evidnt does the heavy lifting on both, so it feels like real help, not homework. Founders stick with it because they can see what they are getting back.
Faking it helps no one. A founder who invents conversations only fools themselves and ends up with nothing real to build on. Evidnt allows each potential customer to confirm the conversation happened, so the signal you see holds up. And when a founder collects through an open link, everyone who answers is screened first, against a rule the founder never wrote and cannot loosen. The whole point is to find out if the problem is real, and you cannot fake your way to that answer.
The application filter costs your program nothing. To run Evidnt across a whole cohort, pricing depends on the size of the cohort, so we work that out together on a call.
Founders keep Pro forever. Their data, patterns, and verified conversations stay with them.
Evidnt was built by someone who has spent years guiding founders inside programs like yours, watching the same avoidable failure repeat. You work with the Evidnt team directly, not a support queue.
