VENTUREPROOF
Founder readiness must be measured through actual operating evidence rather than self-reported accelerator milestones.

MVP Use Case
A funded or fund-seeking startup records customer discovery, pilot agreement, product milestone, investor update and use-of-funds approval. Rails manages the founder workspace; the Rust kernel issues the five corresponding receipts.

Investor Narrative
VentureProof is not another accelerator-management platform. It is the evidence layer connecting startup activity, accelerator support, investor updates and diligence readiness.
Gate Path
- G1Gate 1 — Thesis ReadyThe specific workflow · The evidence failure · The developer user · The economic buyer · Why the founder is suited to solve it · Why the startup should exist independently
- G2Gate 2 — MVP ReadyOne Rails workflow · One Rust receipt family · One local verification path · One Evidence Room export · One developer quickstart · One design-partner use case
- G3Gate 3 — Pilot ReadyExternal acceptance criteria · Integration documentation · Measurable baseline · Commercial terms · Claims boundaries · An explicit end-of-pilot decision
- G4Gate 4 — V1 Venture ReadyProduct functionality · Developer adoption · External workflow completion · Verified artifacts · Willingness to pay · Repeatability and expansion potential · Capital requirements
