First-Round Calls Don't Scale
Partners and associates spend 20-40% of their time on introductory calls that rarely convert. As deal volume grows, the team doesn't - and coverage breaks down.

A live AI-led session with every founder, plus independent research on each company — so you evaluate what's real, not what's on a slide. IC-ready reports, no first calls.
Trusted by investors and founders across the globe
When a founder completes their AI-led pitch session, your team receives a structured evaluation — scored consistently, ready for committee. No first call required.
When a deal looks promising, run Deep Analysis. Enter the company's website and a few details — the platform researches the web and returns a full institutional dossier, so you see the facts before you commit.
Not because the deals aren't there. Because the first-layer process doesn't scale - and the best opportunities get missed before the right person ever sees them.

Evaluation quality varies by reviewer, day, and how the founder pitched. There is no consistent standard - which means the best deal in your pipeline might be scored lower than it deserves.
Outlier companies from non-traditional networks get screened out before reaching the right evaluator. Not because they aren't good enough - because no one had time to look properly.
Six stages. Every startup. No scheduling required from your team.

Your team uploads founder and company information using a structured template. The platform ingests profiles, pitch decks, and any supporting materials submitted.

Most AI tools read a static pitch deck and score what the founder chose to show. Smart AI Investor runs a live, adaptive session with the founder and independently researches the company — so you evaluate what's real, not what's rehearsed.
Trained on pitch decks, memos, and deal outcomes. Evaluates logic and coherence - not just content. Gets sharper as your thesis data grows.
No fixed question list - adapts to each response. Probes deeper where answers lack supporting evidence. Goes further on areas your thesis prioritizes.
Cross-references session responses with submitted deck. Flags gaps between spoken claims and data room evidence. Every flag included in final report with evidence.
Most tools either analyze a static pitch deck or track deals in a CRM. Smart AI Investor runs a live, AI-led session with the founder and researches the company independently — a category of its own.
"Manual process" = associate review using general tools. Categories shown reflect typical capabilities, not any specific product.

Run multiple pipelines simultaneously. Each program has its own thesis and scoring setup. One dashboard - full visibility across all programs.
AI represents your firm - not a generic platform. Configure name, style, and visual identity per program. Consistent founder experience across every evaluation.
Every completed evaluation produces four structured outputs - designed to give your team everything they need for an investment decision, without requiring a follow-up call.
Full audio and video archive of every founder pitch session. Shareable directly with your investment committee or deal partners.
Searchable, annotated session text - key moments flagged, claims highlighted, cross-references to submitted materials noted inline.
Synthesized analysis of founder clarity, business logic, thesis alignment, and risk signals - written in plain language for your team.
Standardized scoring sheet with thesis alignment score, risk flags ranked by severity, and a deal recommendation - formatted for IC presentation.
Partners and associates spend time on qualified opportunities - not information-gathering calls.
Quality no longer depends on which team member reviewed the deal or how the founder pitched on the day.
Outlier companies receive the same structured evaluation as every other deal - business fundamentals, not surface signals.
Every deal that reaches your committee comes with a structured memo, session recording, evaluation score, and risk flags.
