InvestiGate
About this project
In one sentence, what are you building?
InvestiGate automates VC deal sourcing by transforming any startup URL into an investment-ready one-pager. Our workflow scrapes and enriches data from company websites, LinkedIn, Crunchbase, Product Hunt, and GitHub, aggregating 6+ sources into a comprehensive summary with risk/opportunity scoring. Moving due diligence from weeks to minutes, from gut feel to data-driven insights.
What problem are you solving?
Traditional startup due diligence is fundamentally broken: • Time-consuming: Takes 2-4 weeks per company, with comprehensive evaluations extending to 8+ weeks. • Inconsistent: Analysis quality varies significantly by analyst expertise and availability • Expensive: Costs range from $5,000-$50,000+ per evaluation, requiring multiple specialists and tools (legal, technical, financial) • Resource-intensive: Difficult to scale across deal flow, investment firms struggle to efficiently evaluate the 100+ startups they review annually while maintaining analytical rigor The bottleneck: Analysts spend hours manually sourcing data scattered across Crunchbase, LinkedIn, company websites, press releases, and emails. This fragmented approach creates delays in deal flow and causes firms to miss time-sensitive opportunities. The stakes: Poor due diligence leads to bad investments. Yet thorough manual analysis is too slow for competitive markets where the best deals move fast.
