Investment screening software

Every inbound deal, screened with evidence.

DealSense turns decks and intake forms into scored, source-linked screening memos — then writes clean, auditable updates back to your CRM. Your analysts make the call on every deal; nothing inbound goes unread.

Built for small and mid-size VC funds, family offices, VC secondaries, and corporate venture teams.

How it works

From inbound deck to documented decision.

Three stages, each producing artifacts your team can inspect, override, and audit.

01

Capture

Decks and intake forms arrive from your existing channels — forms, email, shared drives.

  • PDF and slide parsing with OCR fallback
  • Structured fields aligned to your CRM schema
02

Assess

Claims are extracted, verified against external sources, and scored against your mandate.

  • Score breakdown with per-pillar rationale
  • Screening memo with source citations
  • Regulatory and risk flags
03

Sync

Results are written back to your CRM — append-only, with run IDs and optional approval gates.

  • No fields overwritten, no context lost
  • Full audit trail per run
A screening run, end to end

Product

Outputs an investment committee can rely on.

Not a black-box score — a documented decision with the evidence attached.

Decision rationale

Each score decomposes into weighted pillars calibrated to your mandate, so a partner can see why in ten seconds.

Screening memo, cited

A concise memo per deal: what the company claims, what could be verified, key risks, and the diligence questions worth asking.

Screening memo — Fieldline Robotics Recommendation: CALL · 82/100

£1.2m ARR across 9 industrial customers, 138% net revenue retention [Deck p.7]. FY25 filings consistent with claimed headcount and capitalisation [Companies House].

Key risks
  • Hardware margin path unproven at scale
  • Top two customers are 46% of ARR
Diligence questions
  • Churn and expansion by customer cohort
  • Split of recurring vs. services revenue

CRM writeback & audit trail

Results land in your CRM as append-only notes with run IDs and timestamps. Approval gates before writeback are optional.

Writeback — Pipedrive deal #4821 run 9f2c-4a81
  • 14:21:47Approval granted — reviewing analyst
  • 14:22:05Score 82/100 + memo link staged
  • 14:22:08Note appended — no fields overwritten

Governance

Controls your ops and compliance teams will ask about.

Approval gates

Require analyst sign-off before anything is written to the CRM. Read-only pilot mode available.

Append-only writeback

Idempotent payloads and append-only notes — analyst context is never overwritten.

Run-level audit trail

Run IDs, deck hashes, and timestamps on every output, traceable end to end.

EU/UK data handling

Clear subprocessor list, DPA inputs, and transfer safeguards included in the security packet.

Screen the full inbound funnel to your thesis without adding headcount.

Family offices

Consistent, documented screening across direct deals and fund flow.
