Your investment thesis, applied automatically to every deal

Forward an email, upload a deck, or paste a URL. RAI scrapes the web, pulls data from multiple sources, and evaluates every company against your specific criteria — with scores, evidence, and rationale you can trust.

How it works

1

Send it in

Forward an intro email, upload a pitch deck, paste a URL, or drop a CSV of companies. 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 pulls signals from news and 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 are flagged instantly.

Every format. One pipeline.

Deal flow arrives in messy formats — forwarded emails with tracking links, PDFs from bankers, newsletters with 20 companies buried inside. RAI handles all of it without manual cleanup.

Email Forwarding

Forward any email. We extract companies, resolve tracking URLs, and process attachments.

Pitch Decks

Upload PDFs. AI extracts startup details, founder info, and funding stage.

URLs & Websites

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

Batch Upload

Drop a CSV of companies. Bulk processing with deduplication built in.

Your thesis. Your criteria. 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" or "predictive maintenance for water injection."

  • Must-have criteria act as hard gates — zero matches caps the score at 30
  • Proportional scoring — partial criteria matches are reflected, not ignored
  • Red flags detected and penalized with transparent reasoning
  • Evidence cited from specific sources — not generic assertions
  • Weighted aggregation across multiple thematics per organization

Deeper than a website scrape

RAI goes beyond marketing copy. It resolves tracking links, follows news articles to find the actual company, 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.

Change Detection

When a company's website content changes, RAI detects it and recommends re-evaluation with context from the previous score.

Instant Alerts

High-scoring companies trigger immediate notifications. Full pipeline completion summaries sent to the submitter.
