Angel & Seed Investment Screening
Fast, systematic early-stage deal evaluation when there is minimal data to work with.
What It Does
Early-stage deals have less data than Series A+ rounds — shorter decks, unaudited financials, limited operating history. The Angel & Seed module is calibrated for this reality. It focuses on founder verification, market sizing plausibility, competitive positioning claims, and red flag detection.
Who Uses It
Angel investors managing personal deal flow, seed-stage VC firms, family offices exploring early-stage allocations, and accelerator programmes evaluating cohort applicants.
How It Works
Upload deal materials
Pitch deck, one-pager, or executive summary. The module works with minimal documentation.
Founder verification
Cross-references founder claims against LinkedIn, company registries, patent databases, and academic records.
Market sizing check
Validates TAM/SAM/SOM claims against industry reports, analogous markets, and bottom-up calculation plausibility.
Red flag report
Structured output highlighting verification failures, implausible claims, and areas requiring further investigation.
Key Capabilities
Founder background verification (education, employment, prior ventures)
Market sizing plausibility analysis
Competitive landscape validation
Cap table and valuation benchmarking
Red flag detection (inconsistent dates, missing disclosures, circular references)
What Makes It Different
Designed for the data-sparse reality of pre-seed and seed deals. Where the VC module expects comprehensive pitch decks, the Angel & Seed module works with whatever documentation exists and flags what is missing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can DiligenceWorks screen deals with just a one-page summary?
Yes. The Angel & Seed module is designed for minimal documentation. It will analyse whatever is provided and explicitly flag what information is missing and should be requested.
How does founder verification work?
The module cross-references stated education, employment history, and prior ventures against public sources including LinkedIn, company registries, patent databases, and academic institution records.
