Applicants who fit
People see whether they qualify before they apply, so your reviewers read applications that meet your rules.
Run your program from one link, with applicants who qualify.
Create your program page and share one link. Every applicant is checked before they reach you: who they are, where they work, the startup behind them. Your team reads applications that meet your rules.

Questions about running a program
Do I need an audience on Superscout first?
No. Share your apply link wherever you already reach people: your newsletter, community, partners and social. Whoever sent them, applicants check whether they fit and prove it here. People already looking for programs on Superscout find it too.
Can applicants use your own form?
Yes. Send applicants to your form with what was already checked attached, so they skip those questions. Or keep everything in your Superscout inbox.
What do applicants share, and what stays private?
You see what your rules ask for: whether each one passed, how it was checked and when, plus the answers to your questions. ID documents and phone numbers stay with Superscout.
Can a program run several rounds a year?
Yes. Each round has its own dates and places. Applicants who were declined once can apply to the next round with their record ready.
Your program is already on Superscout. How do you take it over?
Create your program from the same link, with an email at your organization's domain. Once that address is confirmed, your version is the official one and leads wherever people compare programs.
