Do I need to be an accredited investor to play the Scout Game?

No. The Scout Game is a public prediction game with no money involved, no securities transactions, and no accreditation requirement. Anyone with an email address can play.

How are predictions resolved?

Auto-resolved 6 months after submission against public funding announcements. If the org announced a Series A or later round during the window, the prediction is correct and points are awarded based on confidence; otherwise the prediction is incorrect and points are deducted at half rate.

Can I delete a prediction after submitting it?

No. Predictions are immutable once submitted, that is the point. The track record is meaningful precisely because past calls cannot be edited after the fact.

How many predictions can I make per month?

Free tier: 3 predictions per month. First 100 scouts to make a prediction receive a permanent Founder Scout badge. The Insider Circle (EUR 197/month) adds the 24-hour-early Acceleration Watch and the private member briefing.

Get a Startup’s Breakout Signal in 2 Seconds

Paste any startup’s GitHub organization name. We pull live commit velocity, contributor growth, and signal classification from our weekly index of Q3 2026 acceleration data. Same engine VCs use to spot seed-stage breakouts before the round closes.

TL;DRPredict is the forward-looking counterpart to GitHub Receipts: pick any GitHub org, call whether they raise a Series A in 6 months with a 50-99% confidence value, and we auto-resolve at the 6-month window. Free tier: 3 predictions / month. Same engine reads our Q3 2026 dataset of 350+ venture-backed startups across 15 sectors. Public scout profile at /s/{handle}, leaderboard at /leaderboard.

Resolution is automatic at the 6-month window. Correct calls = +confidence/10 pts; wrong calls = −confidence/20 pts. (Methodology)
Same five-rank ladder as Receipts: Curious → Scout → Sharp → Elite → Oracle. (Leaderboard)
Underlying signal data is exposed via MCP (get_startup_signal), JSON (/api/signal?name=...), and the function-calling API. (agents.md)
