Thanks to the many ENTREP-L members who sent me their thoughts on a "a new website (within the past 12-18 months) built around an online assessment of the chances of VC funding (or "success" of some sort) built from a fancy algorithm? I believe the founders were math and business students from Oxford or Cambridge...".
The site I was trying to remember was
younoodle.com, and the UK brains behind it according to one report is
http://e.younoodle.com/people/kirill_makharinsky.
Some neat other sites popped up including:
* An upcoming web-based tool from the Canadian Innovation Centre based on the work of Asteboro and Maxwell.
* A now-its-working-now-its-not site called
www.entrello.com
* www.sternfisher.com/ which has an offline assessment
* An old UK favorite of mine I had forgotten about
http://www.ibisassoc.co.uk/businessstartupanalysis.htmThanks to Amanda Elam, Ben Hallen, Mark Lieberman, Andrew Maxwell, and Susanne Steiner. If you also responded and I did not include you or your idea here, I apologize.
