Reach technical founders before the round is public

Four steps. Start with five free names a week. Pay only when five is not enough. Every paid step carries the same 30-day Signal-or-It’s-Free guarantee.

In a documented panel of 219 startup-period observations across 55 startups, the GitHub signal appeared 21 to 47 days before the public fundraise announcement. It is evidence to investigate, not proof of a future round. Read the methodology.

Signal or It’s Free, 30-day guarantee

Every paid step (Pre-Round Report, Dashboard and Insider Circle) ships with the same guarantee. If, in your first 30 days, the signal does not surface a startup you find genuinely interesting, defined as one you would have wanted to know about earlier, reply to any email with the word REFUND and the full payment comes back.

The prediction ledger publishes the misses as well as the hits, so you can judge the signal before you pay. See the public ledger.

The Report is one snapshot of 25 names this month. The Dashboard is the full field every week for the same €49 per month. If you buy the Report and decide within 14 days that you want it weekly, the €49 is credited in full toward your first Dashboard month.

What does the guarantee cover?

Every paid step ships with the 30-day Signal-or-It's-Free guarantee. If the signal does not surface a startup you find genuinely interesting, one you would have wanted to know about earlier, reply REFUND within 30 days and you get the full payment back.

Is this a prediction that a company will raise?

No. These are engineering signals from public GitHub data. In a documented panel of 219 startup-period observations across 55 startups, the signal appeared 21 to 47 days before the public fundraise announcement. It is evidence to investigate, not proof of a future round. The prediction ledger publishes the misses too.

I run a fund. Is there a fund plan?

Can I cancel?
