For Board Members

See past the pitch, between board meetings.

Live organisational dashboards from the startups where you sit. Critical alerts when the signal shifts. Private notes only you can see. The Analyst AI on demand — diagnostic, not predictive, never speculating beyond evidence.

Free during Pioneer Period. Your founder's organisation pays nothing for the dashboard you access until December 31, 2026. Standard plans launch January 1, 2027.
How it starts

Your founder invites you. We never ask you to sign up.

EPIC is not a tool board members buy. It's a tool founders use to share the live signal of their organisation with the people they trust on their boards. The invitation flow is intentionally one-way.

01
Your founder invites you by email
They go to their EPIC dashboard, hit Invite, type your email, choose your role (Chair, Member, Observer, Advisor — informational only). You receive a magic link.
02
You set your account in 30 seconds
Click the magic link, set your name and a password. You're in. No form, no pricing page, no upsell.
03
You see the live dashboard
From now on, every time you log in you see your founder's full assessment — global score, four pillars, KPI breakdown, history, priority gaps. No round-table briefing required.
04
You receive critical alerts
When the signal shifts (new assessment, major pillar variation, stage change), you get an email — between meetings, when it matters.
What you see

Two views, one organisational signal.

Your boards index — a card for each startup where you sit. The startup scorecard — full live dashboard with the pieces only board members see: invisible risk layer, other board members, your private notes, the Analyst AI on demand.

P07— Trust signal · self-rated 3/3 · behavioural pattern suggests 2/3
E04— Delegation maturity · self-rated 3/3 · behavioural pattern suggests 1/3

Your on-demand analyst

EPIC Analyst AI.

Built for investors and board members. Diagnostic, not predictive. Anchored in the live KPI evidence of the startup.

What it does well
  • Reads the organisational signal — invisible risks, internal contradictions, behavioural patterns the founder may not see in themselves.
  • Holds discipline under pressure — never speculates on outcomes, never drifts to prediction, never capitulates to a confident question.
  • Cites only the KPI evidence the data actually surfaces — KPI hallucination is architecturally impossible.
  • Frames stage-appropriate insight — what concerns a Pre-Seed organisation differs from what concerns a Series A organisation.
  • Streams responses with a 3-7s opener — feels like a conversation with a peer analyst, not a wait for a report.
Where EPIC sits

EPIC reads the signal. It does not replace your governance tools.

Your board still needs Diligent or BoardPro for the formal mechanics of governance — minutes, conflict-of-interest registers, mandate documents, electronic signatures, legal archiving. EPIC sits next to them, not over them.

EPIC is for

  • Reading the live organisational signal of the startups where you sit
  • Surfacing invisible risks, internal contradictions, behavioural patterns
  • Triggering critical alerts between board meetings when something shifts
  • Giving you AI-grade diagnostic conversation on demand

EPIC is not for

  • Drafting or archiving board minutes
  • Tracking conflicts of interest and mandate compliance
  • Electronic signature workflows
  • Legal archiving of board decisions
  • Managing the formal mechanics of board meetings
Use EPIC for organisational signal. Use Diligent, BoardPro, Carta or your established tool for formal governance.
Confidentiality

What's private. What's shared.

Your private notes

Visible only to you. The founder cannot see them. Other board members cannot see them.

Your visit times

Visible only to you. The founder does not see when you logged in or how often.

Your role (Chair / Member / Observer / Advisor)

Visible to the founder and to other board members on the same board. Informational only — the role label does not grant or restrict any technical access.

Other board members on the same board

You see the names of the other board members of each startup where you sit. They see yours. The founder sees the full list.

What's free right now

Free during Pioneer Period — until December 31, 2026.

  • All Pioneer board members get free access to the live dashboard, the Analyst AI, and critical alerts from now until Dec 31, 2026 — at no cost to you, at no cost to the startup that invited you.
  • Founders who join during Pioneer Period become Founding Members — a status that keeps permanent benefits when standard plans launch on January 1, 2027.
  • After January 1, 2027, the startup that invited you decides whether to keep the Board Access tier active. You will be notified directly if the access terminates.

Built on the literature

~4,000 startup post-mortems. 51 filtered KPIs. One stage-calibrated instrument.

EPIC Compass synthesises the empirical literature on early-stage failure causation across CB Insights, Startup Genome, Fractl, and peer-reviewed systematic reviews. The instrument you read as a board member is anchored in that evidence base.
