Psychometric Panel
A 15-minute, non-invasive scan of founder psychology. Research-grade psychometrics (ETH Zurich) to de-risk the individual.
Compatibility Topology
Deep tissue analysis of team friction. We map conflict styles and decision velocity to predict failure before it happens.
Comprehensive Diagnostic
Replacing gut feel with evidence. LP-grade reports that justify your high-stakes investments and due diligence venture capital strategies.

Science
50 years of psychometric research. ETH Zurich methodology.
Technology
24+ specialist AI agents across research, debate, and synthesis.
Output
Actionable risk report. Not a black box.
From "Vibe Check" to Risk Report
Dialectic Crew
Bull & Bear agents debate every domain. A Chaos agent stress-tests assumptions.
Psychometric Crew
Research-grade assessment of founder cognitive and socio-dynamic profiles.
Synthesis Crew
Cross-domain pattern recognition. Investment Committee simulation.
Reporting Crew
Verdict, risk flags, and actionable recommendations in 48 hours.
Simulate the Boardroom. Reveal the Blind Spots.
We merge the IPM Engine's behavioral insights with our proprietary DIALECTIC AI. Simulate your investment committee to stress-test founders and prescribe measurable improvements.
Deep-Level Diversity Diagnostics
Evaluating achievement motivation and leadership orientations using IPM AG Categories. We pinpoint sources of task vs. relationship conflict before they erode team efficacy.
Compatibility Topology
Visualizing co-founder stress-response alignment and capacity to manage extreme technological and demand uncertainty in early-stage environments.
DIALECTIC Investment Committee
Our autonomous AI agents mimic a rigorous investment committee, interrogating psychometric data against market reality to uncover hidden risks before you deploy capital.
Prescriptive Mitigation Paths
Beyond diagnostic labeling, we deliver surgical suggestions for founder improvement. We map clear mitigation strategies to offset identified behavioral liabilities.

Questions VCs Ask
We've heard them all. Here are the honest answers from VCs who were skeptical too.
It's not a replacement—it's an amplifier. You're already great at pattern-matching. 1% Better shows you the patterns invisible in pitch meetings: team dynamics under stress, cognitive flexibility that predicts pivots, and EQ that correlates with crisis leadership. Even the best poker players use data now. This is your unfair advantage.
Completely different methodology. Corporate hiring tests measure compliance and fit for existing roles. We measure entrepreneurial traits: resilience under chaos, team conflict navigation, pivot IQ. Built by ETH DMTEC and HSG researchers who study startups, not employees.
That's actually one of the biggest benefits. When LPs ask 'why this founder?', you have EQ scores, team compatibility metrics, and cognitive flexibility benchmarks from peer-reviewed research. It transforms 'I have a good feeling' into 'here's our proprietary data advantage.' VCs using systematic team assessment raised their next funds faster.
Great founders actually prefer it—it signals you're serious and systematic. The assessment is positioned as 'team dynamics optimization,' not evaluation. Founders get valuable insights about their own team, and it builds trust. We've found it actually strengthens VC-founder relationships.
No. Every score is explainable, research-backed, and you see the full methodology. AI assists with pattern detection across our dataset, but the assessments are based on peer-reviewed frameworks from ETH and HSG. You make the final call. Always.
