About

An investment memo meets a modern research laboratory.

Proof Lab exists because most ideas fail not from lack of effort, but from untested assumptions. We help founders, product teams and investors see where the evidence actually holds — and where it does not — before significant time or money is committed.

What we believe

Ideas deserve a fair, structured hearing — not flattery. We are intellectually curious, direct but constructive, sceptical without being cynical, and transparent about uncertainty.

How we work

Proof Lab uses LLM-assisted research, structured evaluation rubrics and cited public sources to produce an evidence-weighted assessment. We never fabricate citations, never impersonate people, and never claim an idea is “approved” by any investor or institution.

Who it's for

Aspiring founders, active founders, product and innovation teams, agencies and consultants, and angel investors or accelerators. Different business types and funding strategies are judged on their own terms — not every idea against venture-capital expectations.

Privacy first

Your ideas are private by default. We do not train on your data without explicit opt-in. LLM usage is secured and your submissions are never used to endorse or promote.
