Hockystick Documentation
Last updated
Hockystick is a deal flow platform for founders and investors in the GCC and MENA: verified profiles, NDA-gated deal rooms, structured diligence, and recorded decisions — with an AI layer that drafts the work and never acts on your behalf without confirmation.
What Hockystick is
The platform replaces the warm-intro bottleneck with structure. Founders build a profile whose claims are actually checked; investors set a thesis and see matched, verified companies; deals progress inside deal rooms through six explicit stages; and every deal ends in a recorded decision — including a Pass with a reason the founder receives.
Where to start
- 1Founders: start with the founder feature map, then the company profile — everything downstream (matching, verification, the AI panel) depends on it.
- 2Investors: start with the investor feature map, then set your thesis and read the intake parser to get your existing pipeline in.
- 3Evaluating the platform's security? Go straight to Security & compliance — encryption, Row Level Security coverage, and the NDA legal framework are documented with specifics.

How these docs are written
- Every limit stated (10 Q&A questions, 500-character answers, 50 MB uploads, 40% AI gate) is read from the source code, not from marketing copy.
- Security claims are verified against the live system — the RLS page shows the query and its result.
- Where something has a boundary, the docs say so. See "Known boundaries" on the security posture page.
