Every innovation program loses the founder the day the program ends. Nexus Core assembles — from the systems a sponsor already runs, plus outcome evidence from outside them — a durable, evidence-linked record of what happened to every founder its programs touched. Across programs, cities and years. Sold to the sponsors who fund many programs and cannot see across them.
“Programs count attendance. Sponsors fund outcomes. We keep the record of what actually happened.”
This is a demo, not the MVP: a synthetic seeded tenant, the artifact under design-partner evaluation. The MVP is the Q1 2027 pilot — a real sponsor, real systems, read-only. Every founder, program and sponsor below is fictional. What is real is the shape: one sponsor, several programs, founders who reappear under different names, and outcome evidence the founder never had to report. Click a founder. Then click a source.

An overlay on the systems the sponsor already runs — not another tool to adopt, migrate into, or fill in.
The sponsor’s existing system of record (Salesforce first, per the design partner) plus a CSV importer. No write scope exists in the codebase; a build that adds one fails.
The same founder across programs, cities and company names. Deterministic matching first; probabilistic matching with human review second; no unattended merge below a 0.99 precision bar.
Each resolved founder joined to dated events from sources the founder does not control: entity registrations, capital events, federal awards, re-entry into a sibling program, closure.
Every displayed fact resolves in two clicks to its source record, system and timestamp. Consent, retention and tenant deletion are enforced in code and tested quarterly.
Foundations, state innovation agencies, university systems and federal-program intermediaries that fund multiple programs and must defend renewals with outcome evidence they cannot currently produce.
Receive a roster view across their own cohorts and alumni, with no new data entry. A week of “hero work” to assemble a funder answer becomes a query.
Never payers, never surveilled. Nothing is asked of them. The record exists so the institutions that invested in them stop losing them.
50-interview discovery corpus, reconciled. Three dominant signals: the graduation cliff, checkboxes over outcomes, self-reporting broken.
MVP v2 specified as the Founder Continuity Record, with scope cut against the evidence. Consent architecture with counsel.
Synthetic seeded tenant (above) under design-partner review. One national foundation has offered design input — appetite, not commitment, and described as such.
Q4 2026: walking skeleton and identity slice against a developer org; external-outcome coverage test. Q1 2027: first pilot, cohort capped at three.
West Point ’02 · U.S. Army · EY, KPMG, BNY Mellon · NYU Stern EMBA · compliance and operations leadership in institutional banking and digital assets. Found the problem inside a funder’s own process and refused to build before understanding it.
Building the Founder Continuity Record: ingestion, the identity-resolution service and its labelled holdout set, outcome linkage, and the consent subsystem enforced in code.
Cohort capped at three. Unpaid by default; a paid shadow-pilot option exists where a sponsor prefers a commercial footing from day one.
