For any team that evaluates companies

Your investment thesis, applied automatically to every deal

Forward an email, upload a deck, connect your CRM, or paste a URL. RAI ingests from any source, enriches with external databases, and evaluates every company against your specific criteria — delivering scores, evidence, and rationale you can act on.

How it works

1

Send it in

Forward an intro email, upload a pitch deck, paste a URL, drop a CSV, or let your CRM push deals automatically. RAI extracts every company mentioned — even from newsletters and tracking links.

2

We research it

RAI scrapes company websites, resolves redirect links, detects hub pages, extracts data from pitch decks, and enriches every company with funding, headcount, and market signals from external databases — automatically.

3

You get a verdict

Each company is scored against your thematics with evidence, rationale, matched criteria, and red flags. High-scoring deals trigger instant notifications. Export results as CSV for your team.

Every source. One pipeline.

Deal flow arrives from everywhere — forwarded emails, PDFs from bankers, CRM deal updates, newsletters with 20 companies buried inside. RAI ingests from all of them without manual cleanup.

URLs & Websites

Paste a link. Multi-page scraping with hub page detection gets the real content.

Your criteria. Your lens. Applied consistently.

Define thematics that reflect what your organization actually cares about — not generic dimensions like "team quality", but specific lenses like "offshore energy storage", "Series A SaaS for Nordic enterprises", or "SOC2-compliant vendor under 200 employees."

  • Must-have criteria use weighted gating — independently verified criteria count more than LLM-only claims
  • Proportional scoring — partial criteria matches are reflected, not ignored
  • Criteria verified against external data (funding, headcount, location) — not just LLM assertions
  • Red flags detected and penalized with transparent reasoning
  • Evidence cited from specific sources — not generic assertions
  • Evaluation lens adapts to your org type: VC, PE, Corporate, or Startup

Deeper than a website scrape

RAI goes beyond marketing copy. It resolves tracking links, enriches companies with funding and headcount data from external databases, detects hub pages, and combines multiple data sources to build a complete picture before scoring.

Smart URL Resolution

Tracking links, URL shorteners, and newsletter redirects are automatically resolved to the actual company website.

Multi-Page Scraping

Not just the homepage. RAI crawls about pages, team pages, product pages, and technology sections for a complete view.

Hub Page Detection

If a link points to a Crunchbase profile instead of the real site, RAI detects it and scrapes the actual company website.

Pitch Deck Analysis

AI-powered extraction of startup details, financials, founder info, and competitive positioning from uploaded PDFs.

Data Enrichment

Funding history, employee headcount, hiring trends, web traffic, accelerator participation, and investor networks — pulled from external databases, not just the website.

Global News Monitoring

Recent press coverage, partnerships, and media mentions from thousands of outlets worldwide — automatically collected and included as evaluation context.

GitHub Activity

Engineering velocity, open-source activity, commit frequency, and contributor count — pulled directly from GitHub to validate technical progress.

Adaptive Feedback

Rate any evaluation with a thumbs up or down. Approved feedback is injected into future evaluations so RAI continuously learns what matters to your team.
