For Investors

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

PitchVault scores every deck before the founder reaches you. Only founders above the threshold are ever visible in deal flow.

Cost Comparison · Traditional vs PitchVault

What investors actually spend to source one good deal.

The cost isn't the bad deals you take — it's the hours you spend getting to them. PitchVault eliminates the screening overhead.

VaultValuation™. You see this. The founder doesn’t.

Bear, Base, and Bull range on every raise. Computed before your first call. Founders cannot view or influence this output.

Approved investors only

How it works

From application to viability verdict in four steps.

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

01

Apply & set your mandate

Stage, sector, score threshold. Application-only. Not an open directory.

02

Deal flow comes to you

Every founder in your network view has already cleared the visibility 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. Action Plan progress shows how they are iterating, not just where they ended up.

04

Request an intro. Talk directly.

Send an intro request. The founder responds. No intermediary.

Two levels of access

What accreditation unlocks.

Every approved investor gets full analysis access. VaultScore™, VaultRisk™, VaultMoat™, VaultOps™, and VaultValuation™ on every deal. Some founders restrict their raise to verified accredited investors only. Those deals never appear in the standard network view. 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. There is no cold inbound and no raw directory browsing. Your network view only contains founders who cleared the visibility threshold.

What are the criteria for investor approval?+

Active investing at pre-seed or seed stage, with a defined thesis. Every application is reviewed manually. 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.

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. Founders in the network have earned their way there.
