Built on empirical evidence

Why do startups actually fail? CB Insights analyzed 111+ startup post-mortems and found the answers: 42% had no market need, 23% had the wrong team, and 19% got outcompeted.

Our scoring weights reflect reality, not theory. Problem-Market Fit carries the highest weight (25%) because it's the #1 startup killer. Every dimension is scored using rubrics derived from VC due diligence frameworks like the Berkus Method and Scorecard Method.

Machine learning models achieve 82-94% accuracy predicting startup success with these signals. Creo applies that same intelligence to your idea—instantly.
