Every idea starts as a seed. Watch yours sprout.
Describe your startup idea in a sentence. Sprout researches it, scores eight pillars, and pressure-tests every assumption until the map tells the truth.
Three steps. One living map.
Describe your idea
One sentence is enough. Sprout reads it the way a sharp mentor would.
It builds the map
Eight pillars, researched and scored. Every number has a source behind it.
Pressure-test it
Every challenge moves the map, with receipts. Watch the pillars rise or fall.
Every change traces to a source.
Each pillar's score is the sum of evidence for and against it. Open any node and read exactly what moved it, where it came from, and when.
Eight pillars. Every idea, same map.
Customer, problem, solution, approach, edge, reach, revenue, risks. The same eight questions a partner asks, scored the same way every time.

Built by founders who got the feedback too late.
We spent years building things nobody asked for, and learned the expensive way that the right question at week two beats the right answer at month nine. Sprout is the mentor we wish we had: patient, well-read, and unwilling to let a weak assumption slide. It started as an internal tool for a university accelerator and grew into a product when founders kept asking to keep using it after demo day. We are a small team of engineers, researchers, and former program directors. We believe most ideas deserve a fair test, and most founders deserve it sooner.
