The whole argument — in 250 words.

Reading time: 90 seconds. If you have five, the 5-minute version is here. Twelve minutes, the long-form is here.

Crunchbase tells you the day a startup raised. We tell you the day they started preparing — 21 to 47 days earlier — by reading their public GitHub.

Single SSRN-published panel, n=219, five quarters. Median 31-day lead time. Methodology open, dataset CC-BY-4.0.

Three objections, three sentences:

“GitHub data is noise.” Two-period confirmation + contributor-quality filter — 8% false-positive rate, published.
“The good orgs are private.” The 219-startup panel is venture-backed and 100% public-GitHub. Private repos aren’t needed for the signal to fire.
“€9.97/mo is too cheap to be real.” We don’t have a sales team. The buyer is a developer-investor writing €5k–€50k checks. Pricing matches the buyer.

What €9.97/mo unlocks:

→ Live dashboard, refreshed every Monday at 06:00 UTC.
→ 219-startup backtest CSV — replicate the regression yourself.
→ Monthly sector deep-dive PDF, your sector.
→ 30-day Signal-or-It’s-Free guarantee. Reply REFUND.

The math:

€119.64 a year. The expected value of one missed seed name that 8×’s — at a €5k cheque — is €40,000. The price isn’t the cost. The deal you miss is.

If all this did was surface one name you would have missed in the next 12 months — would €119.64 be worth it?
