😤 The Problem

⏰

No Time for Deep Research

Angels seeing 20+ deals/year can't spend 4 hours on each one. But without research, you're just betting on the founder's story.

👻

No Customer Validation

Most investors take founder word that "customers love us." Nobody actually talks to those customers before writing a check.

📉

Projections Are Always Wrong

Founder projections are fiction dressed as finance. Without benchmarks, you can't even ask the right questions.

💸

Analysts Cost $2K+ Per Deal

Hiring a human analyst for each deal is out of reach for most angels. You do the best you can alone.

💬 The Most Unique Feature: Real Customer Interviews

Most investors never talk to customers before investing. We do.

⚠️ This is how you catch companies with fake or dying products
If 3 of 5 customers say "we barely use it anymore" — that's a red flag worth knowing before you invest.

🏆 Why Due Diligence Lite Wins

💬

Customer Calls Are the Moat

Nobody else does this at this price point. It's the single most valuable data point and the hardest to get.

⏱️

48 Hours vs. 4 Weeks

A human analyst takes 2–4 weeks. We deliver in 48 hours. Speed matters in competitive deal flow.

📊

Consistent Methodology

Every deal gets the same framework. Compare apples to apples across your entire deal flow.

🍎

Mac Mini Economics

Runs on your Mac Mini. Ollama handles 80% of research. Only pay cloud API for final polish.

"The best investors I know do rigorous research on every deal. This makes that rigor available to every angel investor, not just the ones who can afford a full-time analyst."
