Assessment Platform
MEVA goes beyond resumes and interviews. Our multimodal AI platform analyzes video responses across text, voice, and visual modalities to produce the most defensible entrepreneurial readiness score in the industry.
The Challenge
Traditional assessments measure what candidates know — GPA, test scores, case studies. But entrepreneurial success is 80% about how someone shows up: their passion, resilience, risk tolerance, and persuasiveness under pressure.
of startup failures are due to people problems, not ideas.
correlation between GPA and entrepreneurial success (Harvard, 2019).
in venture capital deployed with minimal behavioral screening.
The Platform
Candidates record video responses. Our AI simultaneously analyzes three data streams.
Sentiment, vocabulary, optimism framing, certainty language, and content quality scoring via large language models.
Speaking rate, pitch variation, vocal energy, fluency, and paralinguistic markers of confidence and engagement.
Duchenne smiles, body language, hand gestures, eye contact, and micro-expression analysis via computer vision.
These streams produce two complementary scores: a Competency Score measuring the knowledge, skills, and logic of each response, and an Emotional Score capturing behavioral stability grounded in Russell's (1980) circumplex model of affect. Together, they form the MEVA Readiness Score — auditable, reproducible, and scientifically defensible.
The Framework
Our entrepreneurial framework assesses 13 dimensions — from Self-Efficacy to Principled Leadership — each weighted and scored independently.
Process
Candidates receive structured questions via secure video link. Each response is recorded and timestamped.
