## Narrative

The kept rate fell sharply from 35% to 12%, with "Not enough info to judge" still dominating (21/30 removals, 70%)—worse than last run. These are leads with no visible accelerator affiliation in scraped data, failing the hard requirement. The second class, "Wrong company archetype" (8/30, 27%), includes medical/biotech companies, consulting firms, and holding companies that don't align with the creator economy platform.

## Suggested filter diffs

| Kind | Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| negative_keyword | consulting | Excludes consulting firms that call themselves 'accelerators' but are services businesses, not startups (e.g., STNDRD 'Consulting and Growth Accelerator') |
| negative_keyword | medical | Removes medical device/therapeutics companies (Progenerative Medical, ConKay Medical, ReEngage Therapeutics) that don't fit creator economy use case |
| negative_keyword | therapeutics | Targets biotech/pharma startups (ReEngage Therapeutics) with no alignment to digital products, memberships, or courses |
| negative_keyword | holdings | Filters out holding companies (KitchenLabs Holdings) that are financial structures rather than active product startups |
| title_exclude | CTO | ICP specifies 'Founders and Co-Founders' only; CTOs without founder titles are out of scope (Shahrzad Naraghi at ANAFLASH) |
| note | Consider tightening data source to require accelerator field populated, as 70% removals are insufficient evidence cases | 21/30 removals had no verifiable accelerator participation despite hard requirement; suggests upstream filter or data provider issue |

| Name | Title | Company | Tier | Code | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Antony Fuleihan | CTO and Co-Founder | CurveAssure |  | insufficient_evidence | No LinkedIn company page or scrape data exists to confirm whether CurveAssure is currently in an accelerator program, which is a hard requirement per the user's emphasis. The parent company is flagged as not in the approved list, suggesting this may be a mismatch. Without evidence of accelerator participation or company details to assess archetype fit, this lead cannot be validated as meeting the… |
| James Sumner | Co-Founder & Chief Operating Officer | ProWire |  | insufficient_evidence | No LinkedIn company page or role scrape is available to confirm ProWire is currently in an accelerator program, which is a hard requirement in the user's emphasis. The CSV provides only basic fields (co-founder at ProWire in New York) with no mention of accelerator participation. Without explicit evidence of accelerator membership, this lead cannot be kept under the stated criteria. |
| Daricus Releford | Chief Executive Officer | StoreCash.AI |  | insufficient_evidence | No LinkedIn scrape is available to confirm the person's current role or company details. The CSV shows a C-suite title at StoreCash.AI, but there is no evidence that this company is in an accelerator program—the user's hard requirement for this audit. Without access to LinkedIn data showing accelerator participation or company context, this lead cannot be verified as meeting the mandatory 'MUST B… |
| Jarred Fox | Co-Founder | Mancamped |  | insufficient_evidence | No LinkedIn scrape is available and the CSV provides only bare facts (co-founder at Mancamped in Philadelphia). The emphasis explicitly requires the startup MUST BE IN AN ACCELERATOR PROGRAM, but there is zero evidence that Mancamped is or was in any accelerator. Without company details (no LinkedIn page, no description of what Mancamped does), I cannot verify U.S. operation, industry fit, or acc… |
| James Poser | CEO | Progenerative Medical, Inc. |  | wrong_archetype | Progenerative Medical, Inc. is a medical/healthcare company, and the CEO role suggests a traditional life sciences or medical device business model — not a digital creator, online community, or educational product seller. There is no evidence this startup is in an accelerator program (required by user emphasis), and the company archetype (medical/biotech) fundamentally misaligns with Whop's creat… |
| Ifeanyi Umejei | Founder & CEO | Groovv.io (Techstars '22) |  | wrong_location | The CSV location field shows 'Addison' without country specification. Given the user's explicit emphasis that startups MUST be in the United States and the location data is ambiguous (could be Addison, Texas or elsewhere), combined with the lack of LinkedIn scrape to verify US presence, this fails the hard location requirement. While the company explicitly mentions Techstars '22 accelerator parti… |
| Linda Alvarez | CEO and Co-Founder | Levelle Nutrition |  | insufficient_evidence | The user emphasis mandates the founder MUST BE IN AN ACCELERATOR PROGRAM and located in the United States. While Linda Alvarez meets the US location requirement and holds a founder title, there is zero evidence in the available data that Levelle Nutrition is or was participating in any accelerator program. Without LinkedIn scrape or company page data confirming accelerator participation, this is … |
| Wilder Lopes | Founder & CEO | ogre.run |  | insufficient_evidence | The CSV provides only a company name (ogre.run) with no description, industry, or accelerator affiliation visible. The user emphasis requires the startup MUST BE IN AN ACCELERATOR PROGRAM and be US-based. While the location (Tulsa) suggests US presence, there is zero evidence that ogre.run is participating in any accelerator program. Without LinkedIn or other data confirming accelerator membershi… |
| Alireza Mirmontazeri | Founder | Lurkin |  | insufficient_evidence | No LinkedIn scrape available to confirm accelerator participation, which is the mandatory requirement per user emphasis. CSV shows only 'Founder' at 'Lurkin' in Los Angeles with no accelerator affiliation mentioned. Without evidence of accelerator program participation, this lead fails the hard filter specified for this run. |
| Neal Vail | Chief Executive Officer | Progenerative Medical, Inc. |  | wrong_archetype | The emphasis requires startups in accelerator programs in the United States. Progenerative Medical, Inc. shows no evidence of accelerator participation. Additionally, as CEO of what appears to be a medical company, this does not match Whop's target buyer profile of digital creators, course instructors, or community owners monetizing online content. Medical companies typically operate in regulated… |
| Egor Firsov | CEO | Track Tennis |  | insufficient_evidence | The emphasis explicitly requires the startup MUST BE IN AN ACCELERATOR PROGRAM and be in the United States. No evidence exists in the CSV or available data that Track Tennis is in an accelerator program, nor is there location confirmation for the United States. Without LinkedIn company data or scrape confirmation of accelerator participation, this fails the hard requirement stated in the emphasis. |
| Adam Ciralsky | Founder & CEO | P3 Media Inc. |  | insufficient_evidence | No evidence provided that P3 Media Inc. is currently participating in an accelerator program, which is explicitly required by the user's emphasis. The CSV shows only basic founder information with no company details, no LinkedIn data, and no accelerator affiliation. Without proof of active accelerator participation in the United States, this lead cannot be confirmed as a fit. |
| Drew Gottenborg | Co-Founder \| Managing Partner | SPUR Acquisitions |  | wrong_archetype | SPUR Acquisitions appears to be an acquisition firm or holding company, not a startup in an accelerator program. The emphasis requires founders whose companies are actively participating in accelerator programs in the United States. An acquisition/investment firm does not fit the creator economy use case for Whop (selling memberships, courses, digital products) and shows no evidence of accelerato… |
| Christopher Rhodes | Co-Founder and CEO | Mimio Health |  | insufficient_evidence | The user emphasis requires the founder's startup MUST BE IN AN ACCELERATOR PROGRAM and be United States-based. While the location (Davis) suggests US presence, there is zero evidence in the provided data that Mimio Health is or was in an accelerator program. Without LinkedIn company page data or role description confirming accelerator participation, I cannot verify the mandatory criterion. |
| Hunter Macmillan | Co-Founder & CEO | Forever Analytical |  | insufficient_evidence | The emphasis requires the startup MUST BE IN AN ACCELERATOR PROGRAM, but no accelerator affiliation is evident in the available data for Forever Analytical. Without LinkedIn scrapes to confirm accelerator participation or company details, and with no parent company match, there is no evidence this founder meets the mandatory accelerator requirement. The location (South Bend) suggests U.S. presenc… |
| Stephen Kalinsky | Co-Founder | Augment Health |  | insufficient_evidence | No LinkedIn scrape available for either the person's role or Augment Health's company page. The CSV shows a Co-Founder which matches the ICP persona, but the EMPHASIS requires MUST BE IN AN ACCELERATOR PROGRAM and there is zero evidence of accelerator participation. Without being able to verify accelerator status or confirm the company operates in the United States with appropriate fit signals, I… |
| Tetsuya Ishikawa | CTO & Cofounder | Alchemist Material Inc. |  | insufficient_evidence | No evidence of accelerator program participation found. The CSV shows only 'Alchemist Material Inc.' as company name, which could reference Alchemist Accelerator but provides no confirmation of active participation in any accelerator program. The user emphasis requires MUST BE IN AN ACCELERATOR PROGRAM, and without LinkedIn data or explicit accelerator mention, this cannot be verified. Additional… |
| Eyal Gottlieb | Co-Founder | ReEngage Therapeutics |  | insufficient_evidence | No evidence that ReEngage Therapeutics is participating in an accelerator program, which is a hard requirement per the user's emphasis. The company appears to be in the therapeutics/biotech space based on the name, which has no fit with Whop's creator economy platform (digital products, memberships, communities). A therapeutics company would not be selling courses, community access, or digital co… |
| Shahrzad Naraghi | Chief Technology Officer | ANAFLASH Inc |  | insufficient_evidence | No evidence the person is a founder or that ANAFLASH Inc is participating in any accelerator program. The emphasis requires MUST BE IN AN ACCELERATOR PROGRAM, and the ICP specifies 'Founders and Co-Founders' — this person holds a CTO title, not founder. Additionally, the parent company is flagged as not in the approved list, signaling a likely mismatch. |
| Josh Burris | Founder \| CEO | STNDRD - Comprehensive Consulting and Growth Accelerator |  | wrong_archetype | STNDRD is described as a 'Comprehensive Consulting and Growth Accelerator' — this is a consulting/services firm that helps other companies, not a startup building a digital product or community to monetize. Whop serves creators and entrepreneurs selling memberships, courses, and digital products to end consumers, not B2B consultancies. Additionally, there is no evidence this company is participat… |
| Albert Yuan | Founder - President and CEO | ConKay Medical Systems, Inc. |  | wrong_archetype | ConKay Medical Systems is a medical systems company, not a digital creator or entrepreneur selling memberships, courses, or digital products. The ICP requires founders in accelerator programs selling online services through platforms like Whop, but medical systems companies are traditional B2B businesses with physical/regulated products—an explicit anti-fit per the seller context. No evidence of … |
| Mohan Misra | Founder/Chairman | ITN Energy Systems |  | wrong_archetype | ITN Energy Systems appears to be a traditional energy/industrial company based on the name, which is a hard anti-fit for Whop's creator economy platform serving digital content sellers and community builders. More critically, there is zero evidence this founder is participating in an accelerator program, which is a hard requirement from the user's emphasis. The company profile suggests B2B indust… |
| Jason Killings | Chief Executive Officer | LEADVOLT •  A Techstars portfolio company |  | wrong_archetype | LEADVOLT is described as a Techstars portfolio company, confirming accelerator participation and US location. However, the CEO of a Techstars-backed venture is building a funded startup with institutional backing, not monetizing digital products or communities as an individual creator. Whop serves solopreneurs, coaches, and micro-businesses selling memberships and courses—not funded startup CEOs … |
| Tatsunori Suzuki | Co-Founder President&CEO | Alchemist Material Inc. |  | insufficient_evidence | The CSV shows Co-Founder/CEO at Alchemist Material Inc., but there is no evidence in any available data that this company is currently participating in an accelerator program—the user's mandatory requirement. Without LinkedIn company details or role descriptions to confirm active accelerator membership, and given the user's explicit 'MUST BE IN AN ACCELERATOR PROGRAM' emphasis, this lead cannot b… |
| John Abbey | Chief Executive Officer | SafeFlight Corporation |  | wrong_archetype | SafeFlight Corporation shows no evidence of being in an accelerator program, which the user marked as a MUST requirement for this run. The CSV shows a C-suite executive at an established corporation with no accelerator affiliation mentioned. Additionally, the company name 'SafeFlight Corporation' suggests a traditional B2B aerospace/aviation business rather than a digital creator or community mon… |
| Yildiray Sager | Founder & CEO | BOXOLOGIC |  | insufficient_evidence | The user emphasis requires the founder's startup MUST BE IN AN ACCELERATOR PROGRAM and located in the United States. No LinkedIn scrape or company page data is available to confirm accelerator participation. The CSV shows only 'BOXOLOGIC' as company name with Boston location, but provides zero evidence of accelerator membership—the mandatory criterion for this audit. Without confirmation of accel… |
| Aika Birnazarova | Co-Founder | Loadex AI |  | insufficient_evidence | No LinkedIn scrape is available for this person or company. The emphasis requires MUST BE IN AN ACCELERATOR PROGRAM, but without LinkedIn data or company page information, there is zero evidence that Loadex AI is participating in any accelerator program. The CSV fields alone do not confirm accelerator status, which is a hard requirement for this audit. |
| Andrew Yakub | Chief Executive Officer | Rayton |  | insufficient_evidence | The emphasis requires the founder's startup MUST BE IN AN ACCELERATOR PROGRAM and in the United States. No evidence of accelerator participation is present in the CSV data, and location is unknown (cannot confirm US presence). Additionally, 'Rayton' as a company name provides no context about industry, stage, or digital product fit for Whop's creator economy platform. |
| Marcos Galante | Co-Founder | KitchenLabs Holdings |  | insufficient_evidence | No evidence the company is participating in an accelerator program, which is an explicit MUST requirement from the user emphasis. The title 'Co-Founder' and seniority match ICP criteria, but without LinkedIn company data or accelerator participation signals, cannot confirm the critical accelerator requirement. Additionally, 'KitchenLabs Holdings' naming suggests potential holding company structur… |
| Khurram Aslam | Founder, CEO | Laminate |  | insufficient_evidence | No evidence the founder's startup is participating in an accelerator program, which is the mandatory requirement emphasized for this run. The CSV provides only basic role information (Founder/CEO at Laminate in New York) with no LinkedIn scrape, no company page data, and no mention of accelerator participation. Without confirmation of accelerator status, this lead fails the core ICP criterion. |
