Qanot / Apply
One evening of writing. Ten days to an answer.
No deck. No warm introduction. No NDA. Four partners score what you write below against the published weights, independently, before they discuss it — and you get the four scores back whether we invest or not.
SEC.00 // What to expect
The whole process, before you start typing.
- Time to complete
- About 45 minutes if you know your numbers. Do not spend a week on it — we are scoring evidence, not prose.
- Acknowledgement
- Within 72 hours, from a person.
- Decision
- Ten business days from a complete submission.
- If we decline
- You receive all four scores, the dimension that held you back, and what would change it. Reapply any time.
- Confidentiality
- We do not sign NDAs at this stage. Do not send anything you need protected — describe the shape of the idea, not the secret.
- Pre-prototype
- Apply anyway and say so. A waiting list and a letter of intent satisfy Evidence of demand as well as revenue does.

| Founder slope | 25% | Q6 | Visible acceleration, not a flat line of effort |
| Market shape | 15% | Q7 | Wins at home, ports to MENA without a rewrite |
| Unfair insight | 15% | Q8 | A non-obvious claim you can defend with data |
| Capital efficiency | 10% | Q9 | Got to revenue on under $25K |
| Coachability | 5% | Interview | Updated your position live, with reasons |
