For Investors

The question isn’t whether the deck is good.
It’s whether the company will become a business.

Every week you read decks that tell a compelling story. Most of your time goes to founders who aren’t ready. Not because they’re bad founders, but because nobody told them the truth about their deck before they sent it.

PitchVault runs the evaluation before the founder reaches you. Only founders who score above the threshold become visible in deal flow. The rest stay invisible until they’ve done the work. You see the ones who have.

How we assess viability

Four questions. One verdict.

No single score tells you whether to invest. A deck that scores 90 on pitch quality but shows CRITICAL operational gaps and HIGH risk exposure is a beautiful pitch that will probably fail to execute. You’d only know that if all four dimensions were visible together — before you wrote the check.

Is the investment thesis credibly constructed?

VaultScore™

Stage-calibrated pitch quality — not just slide design, but the logic of the business. Weighted by what actually matters at this round.

Can this company defend its position long enough to compound?

VaultMoat™

Moat type, compounding trajectory, and the stress-test result: what would a $50M entrant need to replicate this?

What could destroy this company before it reaches exit?

VaultRisk™

Downside exposure across 12 stage-calibrated risk dimensions (Exit Risk weighted from Series B+). The risks behind the pitch, not the risks in the pitch.

Can this team actually execute the plan they're pitching?

VaultOps™

Operational execution scored across seven dimensions calibrated to your stage — binding constraint clarity, scaling fragility under 3× demand, founder dependency risk, and capital-to-throughput efficiency.

VaultValuation™Beta · All approved investors

Stage-calibrated valuation pass on qualifying reports — bear / base / bull range and ask verdict. Available to all approved investors. Founders do not see this. How it works →

How to read the signals

The combination is the intelligence.

A high VaultScore™ means the thesis is well-constructed. It does not mean the company will execute. Here’s what the combinations actually tell you.

Pass

The deck tells a compelling story. The business behind it has critical execution gaps and no structural moat to buy time. Pass — or re-evaluate post Series A operator hires.

How it works

From application to viability verdict in four steps.

Apply once. Set your mandate. We handle the rest — so your inbox contains the decisions worth making, not the screening you’d otherwise do by hand.

01

Apply & set your mandate

Stage, sector, archetype, score threshold. Approved investors only — this is not an open directory.

02

Deal flow comes to you

Every founder in your feed has already cleared your threshold. Bad deals are never visible to begin with.

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. Talk directly.

Send an intro request. The founder responds. No intermediary, no cold outreach.

Two levels of access

What accreditation unlocks.

Every approved investor gets full analysis access — VaultScore™, VaultRisk™, VaultMoat™, VaultOps™, and VaultValuation™ on every deal. Accredited investors additionally unlock founder-exclusive deals that founders have restricted to verified accredited investors only.

“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.

Applications reviewed within 48 hours. Access is intentionally limited to keep deal flow quality high. The founders in your feed have earned their way there.
