Screen, evaluate and invest in startups, on one record.
VentureSmith is the startup investing solution of InvestWeave. It screens and evaluates each opportunity and runs each direct startup investment on one record, from first pitch to monthly MIS, against the fund mandate held as versioned rules. Agents read the decks, documents, MIS packs and filings and flag what matters; a named person decides, and every consequential action is recorded by name.
One record per company, before and after the cheque, with each role working in its own view.
Pipeline
Every deal logged once.
Pitches arriving by email, portal or WhatsApp are logged once and screened against the fund mandate as they arrive, so deals are not lost or logged twice.

Due Diligence
Rules PASS or FAIL. Gaps requested.
Diligence runs the mandate as rules that PASS or FAIL, and each missing fact becomes a tracked request, with deck claims checked against public filings before the vote.

Data Room
One room per company.

Document Agents
Read, check, flag, draft. A person decides.
Agents read decks, data-room documents, MIS packs, filings and transcripts, run red-flag rules and draft the next step; each has guardrails and a named approver.
