Notes from the AI

Strongest on market and traction. The founder story ties the problem to lived experience, which is the highest signal we look for. Clear ask, clear plan.

In production: each pitch is scored by Claude Haiku and added to the partner’s graded queue.

02 / READ

The problem

Partners read 30 pitches a quarter and miss 70.

Most VC firms with a public-facing brand get more inbound decks than partners can read. The honest triage is: the partner reads what came in this week, what got warm-introduced, what looked interesting at first glance. Everything else sits in a folder. Some of it is good. We give every pitch a fast first-pass: clarity of the ask, size of the market, evidence of traction, the story behind the founder. The partner reads a graded shortlist instead of a chronological inbox. Founders feel heard. The unicorn that almost slipped through gets a second look.

Situations this fits

You’ll recognise these.

A founder cold-emails you on a Sunday night.

They get an instant scored read. Monday morning, you see the grade attached, no triage by hand.

Your associate spent Friday afternoon reading 30 pitches.

The first read happens automatically. They spend Friday on diligence for the shortlist instead.

A pitch you almost skipped turned out to be a unicorn.

Won't happen again. Every pitch gets a real first read, no inbox triage by feel.

How it works

Three steps. No human in the loop until the price.

01

Founder submits the pitch

A short form on your site (or a dedicated /pitch URL) takes the deck text and a few structured fields. Confirmation lands in the founder's inbox immediately.

02

AI scores in seconds

Claude reads the pitch and grades it on clarity, market, traction, and story, with a one-paragraph note on the strongest and weakest dimension. Each pitch costs about a cent.

03

Partner sees the queue

Pitches arrive in your dashboard sorted by score, with the AI's note visible. The partner reads the graded shortlist, not the chronological inbox.

What you get

The shortlist replaces the inbox.

Every founder gets a real first read. Every partner reads pitches in order of signal, not order of arrival. The cost is about a cent per pitch, less than your associate's time to do the same triage by hand. Built first for Draper Associates, the same flow fits any firm with public deal flow.
