THE PULSE OF
QSTP STARTUPS.

A monthly KPI check-in for founders. A live portfolio dashboard for the QSTP Incubation team. Pulse replaces 150 hours of weekly interviews with a 6-minute conversational fill — and classifies every startup automatically against QNV2030 pillars.

How it works

Capture → Classify → Act

Pulse isn't a form. It's a system that turns a founder's monthly check-in into proactive action by the QSTP team.

01

Capture

9 thematic sections, 40 questions, mobile-first. A conversational agent asks only what applies — skipping POC follow-ups when there are no POCs, skipping revenue questions for pre-revenue startups.

02

Classify

Deterministic stage rules on revenue, funding, and headcount — every label is explainable. The system tags QNV2030 pillar, sector, and health. Founders see exactly why they moved up.

03

Act

Each stage unlocks a real QSTP benefit pack — mentor hours, grant eligibility, lab access, comms visibility. The team dashboard rolls everything up by industry and QNV2030 pillar.

The impact

Built around the metrics QSTP already tracks.
