Before we touch price, I want to see how buyers react to per-pick vs. a flat monthly fee. Can you run five interviews with the warehouses in the pilot?

Sarah Chen

On it. Two are already booked for Thursday. Sharing the current price page so you can see what they are reacting to.

02 · The problem

What this costs you today

What hurts

What hurts

  • Deal flow arrives scraped, so everyone has already seen it

  • Screening waits for the monthly meeting, even when a deal is live

  • The company you liked eighteen months ago is untracked

  • Diligence is redone from scratch every round

  • Members see different information depending on who forwarded it

The stack it replaces

The stack it replaces

A data provider subscription, a shared drive, a spreadsheet and a monthly meeting.

Where you end up

Where you end up

You see deal flow at origination. Thesis screening and watch lists that flag when a company is ready are coming soon.

03 · The jobs

What it takes off your desk

Source at origination

Run the pipeline
