Find and apply

Fill it out once. Apply again and again.

Startup accelerators, incubators, grants, pitch competitions, and entrepreneur in residence programs ask for the same company information in different forms. In ValidData you keep one company record, use it to discover verified opportunities, and prepare each application from it.
Opportunity types in the directory
  • Accelerators and incubators
  • Grants
  • Pitch competitions
  • EIR and FIR programs
The directory is a verified opportunity discovery surface, not an open listing. Every entry shows its source and provenance, and no placement is paid.

Substantiate

Understand what is known. Substantiate what matters.

Relevant suggestions help you explore. Verified evidence helps you understand your position. You decide what to share.
  • Declared
    What you enter about your company. Useful for suggestions and applications, always labeled as founder provided.
  • Substantiated by evidence
    Claims with documents or an authorized connection attached, ready to be checked against the Standard.
  • Verified as of a stated date
    What the platform verified through that evidence, stated with its date. Never a forecast.
No scores. No rankings. No predictions. Just evidence that can be substantiated as of a stated date.

One company record. Three jobs.

  • Find what can help you.

    Discover accelerators, incubators, grants, pitch competitions, and residence programs, and apply from one record.

  • Establish what you've accomplished.

    Attach evidence to your claims and let the platform verify what it can, as of a stated date.

  • Keep the right people informed.

    Turn the same record into monthly updates for the audiences you choose.
How each part strengthens the others
  • Company record
  • Applications
  • Evidence
  • Readiness record
  • Monthly updates
  • New company information
    • which returns to a stronger company record.
The directory is more useful because ValidData knows your company.
Applications are easier because your information is reusable.
A readiness record is useful because your evidence becomes portable.
Monthly updates are stronger because they draw on the same record.
Monthly updates keep the record alive instead of leaving another abandoned profile.
