Venture Capital & Growth Investors

The company and the round. The claims the deck makes about market and moat. The terms, the cap table and where your fund sits on it. The thesis you are about to defend to the partnership.

• ·SEC — issuer filings and disclosure
• ·USPTO — patent record behind the technology claim
• ·FTC — competition and antitrust posture
• ·Federal Register · eCFR — US regulatory text the business model has to live under
• ·IRS — US tax treatment of the structure
• ·OECD · World Bank — market and macro data for the addressable-market case
• ·EUR-Lex — EU legislation for cross-border deals

Every claim carries a provenance tag. [SOURCED] means traced to a verified reference. [INFERRED] means analytical inference — flagged automatically. Claims that cannot be traced are labelled as inference, never presented as fact.

• The Architect maps the deal — the round, the structure, the cap table, and which claims in the deck are load-bearing.
• The Strategist reads the market, the moat and the exit environment this company will actually meet.
• The Engineer works the numbers behind the deck — unit economics, growth math, and the sensitivity of the base case.
• The Counsel surfaces regulatory, IP and disclosure exposure an LP or an acquirer would question.
• The Contrarian sole mandate: argue this deal is a write-off, and name the round at which the story stopped being true.

Five complete analyses. Five distinct angles. Not five versions of the same answer. Then they challenge each other, anonymously. Then they converge — and when one perspective refuses to, that dissent is preserved rather than averaged away.

Questions Pilot5.ai helps with

• What in this deck is evidence, and what is just the founder's narrative?
• Is the moat real, or is it a head start someone better funded can close?
• Where does our investment memo fall apart if the partnership pushes hard on it?
• What does the market actually support, as opposed to what the addressable-market slide claims?
• What is the strongest argument against wiring, and how do we answer it before the term sheet goes out?

Common questions

Is deal-flow and diligence data confidential?

Diligence material is never used to train any AI model. A pseudonymization layer replaces founder and company identifiers with reversible tokens before anything reaches a model, and restores them only in your result — automated detection reduces what reaches a provider, though it cannot guarantee elimination. Each deliberation leaves a timestamped record you can retrieve by ID. Retention periods and Zero Data Retention mode are set out in our Privacy Policy.

Does it replace the partnership's judgment?

No. It is the partner who was not in the room and does not want the deal to work — the anti-thesis, written down and kept, rather than voiced once and forgotten by Monday. Conviction and the cheque remain the fund's.

What does it cost per company screened?

The estimate is shown before the deliberation runs, reserved at launch, settled on completion, with any excess refunded, which keeps it viable at the top of the funnel as well as at IC. Current rates are on the pricing page.
