Deal flow that is already Raise Ready.
Opened to you by the program that knows the founders.
Every founder in a room has cleared a four-lens rubric — pitch, defensibility, risk, execution — scored against the same logic our partners apply in diligence, and the director has marked them ready. Request an intro, or pass and say why; both reach the director.

Featured opportunities
Founders who cleared the bar, scored the way a room scores them.
Every founder below opted into the public showcase and is pre-scored across all four lenses at their stage — VaultScore, VaultMoat, VaultRisk (lower is better), VaultOps. A room shows the same reading, with the director’s call on each founder.
1 / 1
22 founders in the network have cleared the bar; 10 are shown here, newest first. The rest are in their programs’ rooms.
Cost Comparison · Traditional vs PitchVault
What investors actually spend to source one good deal.

How it works
From invitation to intro in four steps.
One link from the program. No application, no mandate form. The room holds the founders worth a decision, not the screening you’d otherwise do by hand.
01
Get invited by a program
The director sends one link. It signs you in; no application, no directory.
02
The room opens
When the director opens the cohort’s room, the founders marked ready appear, each with the director’s note. Nobody who missed the bar is in it.
03
Read scores, not decks
Four scores and a one-line verdict before you open a slide. Score history shows whether they did the work.
04
Request an intro, or pass and say why.
Both reach the director, who makes the introduction. A pass with a reason helps the program coach the founder.
VaultScore, VaultMoat and VaultOps: higher is stronger. VaultRisk is inverted — lower is the ceiling.
Two levels of access
What accreditation unlocks.
Every invited investor gets the full analysis on every founder in the room. VaultScore™, VaultRisk™, VaultMoat™, VaultOps™, and VaultValuation™. Some founders restrict their raise to verified accredited investors only. Accreditation is how you reach them.
Common questions
How is this different from AngelList or a deal directory?+
Every company is scored before it is visible to you, and a program director has marked it ready. There is no cold inbound and no directory browsing. A room only contains the founders of the cohort that invited you.
How do I get into a room?+
There is no application. A program running its cohort on PitchVault invites the investors it wants in the room; the link is personal and signs you in. This is not an open signup.
What if a founder I want to reach isn't on PitchVault?+
You can refer them. They score for free. You see the result.

“Really great report and feedback. The AI analysis is genuinely impressive. This is the kind of signal I actually act on.”

You shouldn’t be the one filtering out founders who aren’t ready.
That’s already been done.
Access comes by invitation from the program running the cohort. If you run a program, you invite your investors from the cohort page; they open one link and the room is theirs.
