Missing The founder’s prior company, dissolved in 2019, is not mentioned. Worth asking why it closed.

Full Due Diligence, in every pilot
Four checks on every deal you advance.
The free screen reads the company’s website, its archived versions, US and UK company filings, public code and the news in 2–5 minutes. In a pilot, Full Due Diligence goes further on each deal you take forward: the founder’s track record, the real team size, the market rebuilt from sources and the competitors the deck left out. Findings below are from the fictional sample, Tallgrass Bio.

Tallgrass Bio
Summary
Tallgrass Bio’s website has been public since March 2021, as the deck says. Its deck claims 26 paying customers, but its own archived customers page names 4 pilots.
The $1.2m ARR figure is self-reported, and so is the 40% month-on-month growth behind it. Both are unverifiable, not false. They become questions for the founder.
Questions for the founder
- The deck says 26 paying customers; the archived customers page names 4 pilots. Which are paying today, and on what contracts?
- Is the $1.2m ARR contracted recurring revenue, and can it be reconciled to bank statements?
- What does 40% month-on-month growth measure: revenue, bookings or usage, and over which months?
Illustrative example. Tallgrass Bio is a fictional company; the figures show what a report looks like, not a real result. AI-assisted decision support, not investment advice. Sources are named by type.

Answers for investors
What investors ask first.
Is our deal flow private?
Yes. Each fund’s data is isolated at the database layer and encrypted. Pilot and paid deal flow is never used to train models, and our AI providers are contractually barred from training on it. On a free account, training is an opt-in checkbox, off unless you check it.
Which inboxes can you connect?
In a pilot, Gmail, Google Workspace or Outlook, or a forwarding address that works with any inbox. Founders get a reply in your fund’s name only once you have approved the wording.
What is the difference between the free screen and a pilot?
The free screen is the first pass: the company’s website, its archived versions, US and UK company filings, public code and the news, in 2–5 minutes. A pilot adds Full Due Diligence on the deals you advance, your deals inbox and memos in your IC format.
What if a claim can’t be checked?
It’s marked Unverifiable. Thin coverage makes the verdict provisional, and the IC memo draft says so.
What does a pilot cost?
Pilots run for 90 days on terms set with each team. There is no public price.
Is it investment advice?
No. AI-assisted decision support, not investment advice. Your investment committee decides.
