The problem it solves

You want to spot promising startups early, but checking dozens of news sources every day for new funding rounds isn't realistic. By the time you hear about a deal secondhand, other investors may already be ahead of you.

Who it fits

Venture investors or scouts tracking a specific startup market for new deal flow.

How it works

  1. Runs a daily scan of startup news sources
  2. Startups announced within the last day are flagged
  3. AI scores each one against your investment criteria
  4. Qualifying startups are added to a spreadsheet with sources and reasoning
What you get

Funded startups scored against your criteria

You get a daily spreadsheet of newly funded startups scored against your investment criteria.

What you get

An updated spreadsheet of scored, sourced startup deal leads.

What you need

A Google account and an AI service.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
