The behavioral intelligence that standard diligence does not surface.
How founders actually make decisions
Decision speed, what they need before committing, where they hold decisions too long, and how they behave when the plan breaks. Not how they describe themselves in a pitch.
Where the leadership team creates friction
The behavioral misalignments between co-founders and key executives that will surface as execution risk at the next stage. Know the fault lines before they become board-level problems.
How they behave under pressure
The dark state behaviors that emerge when runway is short, a deal is at risk, or a key person leaves. The patterns that matter most when your capital is on the line.

Do the founders know they are being decoded?
MindType does not require the subject's participation. The decode runs from publicly available identity inputs. Whether to disclose its use in a diligence process is a decision for the firm and its legal counsel based on applicable law and fund policy.
How is this different from a reference check?
Reference checks surface how others describe the person. MindType decodes the behavioral architecture of the person -- independently of what anyone says about them. The two are complementary.
