Faster screening, sharper conviction.

Security & trust

Your deal flow stays yours.

Per-organization isolation

Each fund’s data lives in its own isolated database schema. Organizations never see each other’s deals.

Role-based access

Managed sign-in with roles (admin, analyst, viewer) so people only do what their role allows.

Encrypted by default

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest on AWS. Documents are stored privately, never public.

Revocable sharing

Shared links are tokenized, can expire, and can be revoked at any time.

Frequently asked questions

What file types can I analyze?

PDF pitch decks today. The analysis reads the deck’s real text, so no manual data entry is needed.

Can I edit the AI output?

Yes. You can rename nodes, adjust baseline/goal values, add notes and hide nodes before sharing. The original AI output is always preserved.

How do I share a result?

Generate a private, tokenized link to the interactive report. You choose its expiry and can revoke it whenever you want.

Is my data separated from other funds?

Yes. Every organization has an isolated data schema, so decks and analyses are never shared across funds.

Can I change the analysis methodology?

Admins can edit the prompts that drive each analysis step, so the methodology evolves without waiting on a release.

Is the pricing final?

No. The plans shown are examples while we run the pilot; final pricing will be defined later.

Less math. More judgment.

A premium experience to evaluate startups with clarity and decisiveness.
