AI Dealflow Analysis

Upload a pitch deck, get a full investment memo — financials, market, competition, team, and red flags, all cross-checked against web sources.

What you get

• A complete investment memo (Markdown) ready for your IC, covering every dimension of the deal
• A structured JSON summary with investment scores, key signals, strengths, and risks
• Automated web research — claims from the deck are verified against public sources (Google, company websites, LinkedIn, Crunchbase...)
• Dual scoring when you provide your fund mandate: Deal Quality (1-10) + Fund Fit (1-10)

What the analysis covers

Financial deep-dive

• Unit economics: CAC, LTV, LTV/CAC ratio, payback period, gross margin
• Revenue quality: MRR/ARR coherence, growth rate validation, net revenue retention
• Projections: bear / base / bull scenarios, assumption critique, sector benchmarks
• Burn rate and runway assessment
• Valuation analysis: revenue multiples, comparable transactions, dilution impact

Commercial deep-dive

• Market sizing: TAM / SAM / SOM with methodology critique
• Competitive landscape — including competitors not mentioned in the deck
• Go-to-market strategy: channels, sales cycle, scalability
• Product-market fit signals: retention, expansion, customer evidence
• Pricing analysis: model, competitive positioning, ARPU benchmarks

Verification and red flags

• Deck claims vs. web evidence — each claim rated as confirmed, exaggerated, false, or unverifiable
• Suspicious metrics flagged against industry benchmarks
• Founder due diligence: LinkedIn verification, background check, career coherence
• Critical unknowns and due diligence questions to resolve before investing

Investment recommendation

• Investment score (1-10) with detailed rationale
• Signal: Positive / Neutral / Negative
• Recommended action: Invest / Investigate further / Pass
• Deck confidence score — how trustworthy the pitch materials are

How it works

The actor runs an AI pipeline that audits every aspect of the deal in sequence:

1. Data extraction — structures all information from your documents
2. Financial audit — analyzes unit economics, projections, valuation, and burn
3. Commercial audit — assesses market, competition, GTM, and product-market fit
4. Web research — plans and executes searches to verify claims and fill gaps
5. Cross-validation — stress-tests assumptions, flags inconsistencies and exaggerations
6. Memo writing — synthesizes all findings into a structured investment memo
7. Quality review — reviews the full analysis, can trigger rework if needed, and finalizes

The financial and commercial audits run in parallel. The quality review can send earlier stages back for rework (up to 2 iterations), ensuring consistency and thoroughness.
