For universities and innovation programmes
Application intake for student ventures.
For enterprise offices, incubators and research commercialisation teams running open calls. One link per programme, every application assessed against your criteria, and every student or researcher gets a specific answer rather than silence.
The part nobody talks about
- How many applications does an open call generate, and who reads them all?
- How many students hear nothing after applying?
- How long between the deadline and the decision?
- Do the ones you turn down get anything useful back?
- Could a strong research spinout be missed in the batch?
No setup, no commitment
Start with one open call.
One link for one programme. See the assessment and the replies before you roll it out further.
What it doesn't do
DealDoor doesn't manage your programme, your funding decisions or your reporting. It handles application intake, assessment against your published criteria, and giving every applicant a real answer.
How it works
- 01
Set the criteria for the call.
- 02
Share one application link.
- 03
Assess, shortlist, answer everyone.
What makes it different
Students and researchers who don't get funded still get feedback they can act on, which is usually the point of the programme.
