For accelerators and incubators
Every applicant gets a real answer.
One application link per cohort. Every application graded against your programme criteria, sorted into a shortlist, and a specific reply for every applicant instead of a silent rejection. The founders who don't get in still leave with something useful — and they apply again next cohort.
The part nobody talks about
- How many applicants are waiting on a decision right now?
- How many will hear nothing at all?
- How long does one person spend on first-pass screening per cohort?
- How many good applicants get lost in a batch of two hundred?
- Do the ones you reject apply again next cohort?
No setup, no commitment
Run one cohort through it.
One application link, one intake window. See the shortlist and the replies before you commit to anything.
What it doesn't do
DealDoor doesn't run your programme, track alumni or manage mentors. It handles application intake, assessment against your criteria, and making sure every applicant gets a real answer rather than silence.
How it works
- 01
Set your programme criteria.
- 02
Open one application link for the cohort.
- 03
Shortlist, reply to every applicant, close the round.
What makes it different
Rejection at volume is a reputational problem. DealDoor turns it into a specific, useful answer that costs you nothing to send.
Questions
- Can we set different criteria per cohort?
- Yes, one link and one set of criteria per programme.
- What do rejected applicants receive?
- A specific reason referencing your criteria, which you approve before it sends.
- How long does setup take?
- About ten minutes to write the criteria and open the link.
