Get Ready To Witness The Evalify Effect

3 min readFeb 21, 2024

In the rapidly evolving startup ecosystem, where innovation and originality are at a premium, Evalify is set to change the game for investors and founders alike for good.

Evalify stands at the intersection of evaluation, validation, and verification, offering a unique blend that assesses startup pitch decks through an intellectual property (IP) lens. This is not just another analytical software; it represents a paradigm shift in how startup potential is gauged.

Evalify takes a startup’s pitch deck and, in less than five minutes, sifts through almost 190 million documents across more than 170 jurisdictions. Its core functionality lies in parsing the technical features presented in a pitch deck, distinguishing between what is patentable and what is not. For the patentable features, Evalify searches worldwide patent databases to determine their novelty and whether they risk infringing on existing patents. This process ensures that only the most innovative, non-incremental, and legally sound ideas rise to the top.

The inception of Evalify was driven by a desire to democratize the assessment of startup ideas, moving beyond the traditional networks that often benefit founders from prestigious backgrounds. Evalify levels the playing field, ensuring that the merit of an idea — its novelty, its potential for breakthrough innovation, and its adherence to patent laws — becomes the focal point of investor attention. By doing so, Evalify opens doors for outsiders, the undiscovered geniuses with groundbreaking ideas, providing them with visibility and opportunity that was previously inaccessible.

Evalify’s impact extends beyond individual startups. By automating the evaluation process and providing a ranked list of pitch decks based on IP strength and innovation, it revolutionizes the workflow within venture capital firms. Partners at VC firms are now equipped to quickly identify and prioritize meetings with founders of the most promising ventures, many of which may have been overlooked in the past due to biases or lack of visibility.

It is at this juncture I find a personal resonance with Evalify’s mission, as I identify with the group that has lingered in the “long tail” of individuals who struggled to capture the attention their ideas rightfully deserved. My journey has been marked by the challenge of breaking through the noise, not for my own recognition, but for the innovative potential of the ideas I bring to the table. Evalify embodies the solution to a barrier I, and many like me, have faced: gaining visibility and merit-based consideration in a landscape traditionally skewed by network influence and prestige.

Moreover, Evalify underscores the significance of patents not just as legal documents but as repositories of detailed, actionable knowledge — akin to a chef’s recipes for replicating technology instead of a meal. Viewing the worldwide patent database through Evalify’s lens transforms it into a vast hub of technological blueprints and solutions. This perspective not only aids in identifying and supporting the best ideas but also enriches the entire ecosystem by encouraging a deeper engagement with the comprehensive knowledge embedded in patents.

For all this and more, to me, Evalify is not merely transforming the way pitch decks are evaluated; it is reshaping the landscape of innovation and investment. By removing biases and leveraging the wealth of information in the worldwide patent database, Evalify ensures that the brightest ideas, regardless of their origin, receive the attention and support they deserve. This is a pivotal moment for founders and investors alike, as Evalify paves the way for a future where the best ideas shine based on their merit, driving forward the frontiers of innovation. Seriously, get ready to witness the Evalify effect.
