Why investors use SprintPlanner

Better decisions, with less time in the maybe-zone.

SprintPlanner helps you increase hit-rate on early bets while reducing time spent on founders and ideas that aren't ready.

Higher signal per founder

See how founders behave over a real 4-week sprint — not just in one polished pitch meeting.

Faster yes / no decisions

Time-boxed sprints give you enough evidence to move from “maybe” to a clear yes, no, or park.

Reduced risk on early bets

You get proof of execution, experiments, and learning speed before wiring the first serious cheque.

Scalable founder screening

Run multiple founders through the same sprint framework and compare performance apples-to-apples.

Investor sprint cycle

From idea intake to decision-ready narrative.

A simple, repeatable cycle you can run with dozens of founders, across multiple themes or thesis areas.

Step 1

Idea intake & sprint setup

You or the founder submit a concise idea brief. SprintPlanner converts it into a 4-week venture sprint.

Step 2

Execution & weekly check-ins

Founders execute inside the sprint — logging tasks, launches, and learnings week by week.

Step 3

Anonymous Q&A & AI summaries

You ask questions anonymously. Founders respond; AI keeps a clean, searchable summary of the thread.

Step 4

Decision-ready narrative

At the end, you receive a compact narrative memo, metrics snapshot, and risk/edge highlights.

Anonymous Q&A workspace

Ask anything, stay anonymous.

SprintPlanner gives you an anonymous Q&A lane with each founder. You ask the hard questions; founders respond in their own words; AI turns the conversation into a compact summary that travels with the sprint.

Ask hard questions without influencing founder behaviour or tone.
Let AI cluster repeated questions, highlight unclear answers, and surface red flags.
Keep all context in one thread instead of scattered emails and calls.
Use the Q&A history as part of your IC / partner discussion material.

AI Q&A Summary

"Founder moves fast on product, still early on go-to-market clarity. Strong bias for iteration, open to feedback, aware of main risks around distribution."
