Founder Intake

Tell us what you are building, what is blocking progress, and what decision must be made.

The first intake should be useful without requiring confidential disclosure. It helps determine whether the right next step is a pilot, two-week mechanism audit, external research project, technical review, or IP conversation.

Founder Intake

This is a short qualification and routing form. It is not the place to disclose trade secrets, unpublished patent claims, credentials, confidential code, or restricted data.

Founder and company

Tell us who owns the decision and how to respond.

What are you building?

Describe the technology in plain language before giving us the technical detail.

What is blocking progress?

State the uncertainty, failure, mismatch, or decision that brought you here.

Technology area and available evidence

Choose all that apply. This helps route the request without forcing the company into one category.

Requested starting point

Choose the closest option. Ontomics may recommend a narrower or different first engagement after review.

Submission and boundaries

Provide enough information to understand the company, technical problem, evidence, and decision. Sensitive materials can move into a controlled process after fit and authority are established.

Do not submit passwords, access credentials, export-controlled information, patient-identifiable information, trade secrets, unpublished patent claims, or material you are not authorized to share.

A submission is reviewed for fit. It does not create an engagement until scope, terms, access, and responsibilities are agreed in writing.
