Before we touch price, I want to see how buyers react to per-pick vs. a flat monthly fee. Can you run five interviews with the warehouses in the pilot?

Sarah Chen

On it. Two are already booked for Thursday. Sharing the current price page so you can see what they are reacting to.

02 · Who it’s for

For your organization

For your organization

A branded perks catalog, and redemption value you can put in a sponsor report.

For your founders

For your founders

Founders get what they need when they need it, at prices they couldn’t negotiate alone.

For providers

For providers

Providers list an offer once and reach every cohort that includes it. Each claim and redemption is recorded against the offer.

03 · Every side of it

What each side gets

For providers

For providers

Founders at formation, before they pick vendors

Reach founders before they choose a vendor, targeted by stage and sector. Recorded redemptions show what the channel returns.

  • Present from formation, with no incumbent to unseat

  • Targeted on stage and sector; location targeting coming soon

  • Surfaced when a founder’s profile shows the gap

  • Recorded redemptions give you a cost per founder

For founders

For founders

Offers that arrive when you actually need them

Your program gives you a curated catalog, and offers show up in your workflow when the need appears.

  • Only vetted providers in the catalog

  • Matched to the stage you’re actually at

  • Surfaced inside the work you’re already doing

  • Free, and yours through your program

For advisors

For advisors

Recommend a specific provider or tool

When a founder needs a lawyer, an accountant or a tool, point them to a vetted option.

  • Vetted providers to point founders to

  • Recommendations recorded against the founder

  • No kickbacks or conflicts of interest

  • One of only two roles that can refer anything to a founder

For investors

For investors

Portfolio value you didn’t have to negotiate

Every company you back gets the catalog. You don’t sign a single partnership agreement.

  • Your whole portfolio covered at the same time

  • No partnership to negotiate per provider

  • Recorded redemptions show the value delivered

  • Platform services that don’t depend on your team’s time

The comparison

Why teams choose Startup Science over the alternatives

Usually the competition is a dozen tools bought at different times. None were built for this work, and they don’t talk to each other.

What matters

Startup Science
