Cited diligence for VCs, angels & funds
Cited diligence your fund can act on — and defend.
A company or founder in, a cited RISK × UPSIDE verdict out — in hours. Every finding traces to its source document, with continuous monitoring and alerts on new adverse signals.
Built on public data sources
Public, re-verifiable sources — click any finding to check it yourself. Your subjects are never used to train a model.
The moat
The opposite of a black box.
One verdict, read two ways: defensible enough for your investment committee, transparent enough for your engineers.
For the buyer
- Defensible to your investment committee and your LPs
- Hours, not a weeks-long cycle
- Built on source documents anyone can re-verify
- No proprietary lock-in
For the builder
- Every finding resolves to a source-document URL
- Deterministic risk & upside scoring, not model guesses
- Tamper-evident, hash-chained audit trail
- Self-hosted models — no third party sees your deal flow
The problem
A multi-million-dollar check shouldn't rest on a memo you can't audit.
If you run diligence at a fund, you know the math: a slow, five-figure background check is fine on the deals you close and pure loss on the ones you pass — and a partner can still pick the findings apart. The same is true for an angel or family office making an irreversible bet. Today that evidence arrives slow, opaque, and impossible to check.
Speed
A weeks-long diligence write-up is too slow for a deal that keeps moving. By the time the memo lands, the round has narrowed — or closed.
Defensibility
When your investment committee — or an LP — asks where a finding came from, "the analyst flagged it" is not an answer. You need a verdict anyone can trace back to a source document.
Cost
Bespoke background checks and diligence consulting cost four or five figures per company — before you have even decided whether the deal is worth pursuing.
How it works
Company in. Cited verdict out. In hours.
Resolve the subject
Name a company or founder. We resolve it to registry records, officers, and beneficial owners — then pull the source documents behind every entity, with nothing leaving our infrastructure for a third-party model.
Pull signals + score
We scan adverse media, sanctions and PEP lists, litigation, insolvency and director-disqualification records — plus funding, hiring, patents, launches and web-tech — then run deterministic scorers for risk and upside.
Cited verdict
You get a fused risk × upside scorecard — strong & clean, promising but risky, clean but quiet, or avoid — where every finding carries its source document plus a tamper-evident hash. Export it, or keep monitoring for new signals.
How it compares
Faster than a manual report. Defensible unlike a chatbot.
A diligence verdict that's quick to get and impossible to wave away.
