If you want founder radar
Distribution gravity
Same check size. Different pull.
Teaching diagram with fixed scores (89 vs 27) — not your workspace. Open Gravity compare for live founders after Identify or Apply + GitHub.
Cold-start founder
89
Small audience · high velocity
Pedigree · quiet
27
Large audience · low pull
Pipeline
Four stages, one funnel
Live sources only. Axes stay separate. Trust surfaces contradictions before the memo.
Sourcing
Identify live: GitHub · Hacker News · arXiv. Hackathons / Product Hunt / accelerators: coming soon (never fabricated). Activate → Converge into one funnel with inbound.
Screening
First-pass gate · 3 axes never averaged (Founder / Market / Idea-vs-Market) · thesis lens · persistent Founder Score with cold-start mode.
Diligence
Per-claim Trust Score · contradiction flags · URL verify when evidence links exist · validator before the memo.
Decision
Evidence memo + gaps + $100K yes/no/watch (decision-support, not an investment offer) · full agent traces.
How to start
Three clicks to signal
- Open radar — Identify · refresh for live GitHub + HN + arXiv signals
- Gravity compare — cold-start distribution vs quiet pedigree on the same thesis
- Diligence probe claim → Screen → evidence memo for a $100K decision-support check (not an investment offer)
Judge runbook
Live investor flow
For judges, the deterministic path is one click and ends at the memo.
1) Trigger
Click Run judge flow so radar performs identify → top candidate selection → auto screen.
2) Validate
Each run validates required providers (OPENAI, GitHub, Tavily, Firecrawl) before opening a candidate.
3) Open memo
When screening finishes, the flow lands on memo for the founder so judges can review decision-support immediately.
Shared spine
Same engine as the marketing fleet
vibemarketer manufactures distribution. VC Brain measures it to source founders. Shared spine: ingest → memory → reason → trace.
