The default view. Each chart is paired with key observations on the opposite side so you can read the takeaway without interpreting the visualization yourself. Charts cover where matched founders studied or worked, their research fields, how much they published before founding, and how research fields map to startup themes. The field → theme map is interactive — filter by a startup theme or research field, or adjust the number of nodes shown.
A searchable, filterable card for every founder in the run. Filter by startup category or research topic, toggle to show only founders with a research profile or those that need manual review, and sort by papers, citations, match confidence, or name. Click any card to open the full profile with bio, company details, research signal, and match quality breakdown.
