Deal briefs
Last updated
A deal brief is the AI's structured first read on a company — what it does, the traction signals in its profile, and how it fits your thesis. It exists to answer one question cheaply: does this deserve twenty minutes of human attention?
How it works
- 1Generate a brief from the deal flow inbox, the investor dashboard, or a deal room's Overview panel.
- 2The brief draws on the company's profile data — and inside a deal room, the room's shared context.
- 3Briefs carry a viewed/unviewed state, so new analysis is visible at a glance.
Caching
Briefs are cached per company. Requesting the same brief again returns the stored result instantly instead of re-running the model — consistent output, no duplicate spend. A brief regenerates when you explicitly ask for a fresh one.
What it does / doesn't
The AI does
- Summarizes a company from its profile and (in-room) shared deal data
- Scores thesis fit against your stated criteria
- Caches results and tracks what you've already read
The AI does not
- Access documents the founder hasn't shared with you
- Replace diligence — a brief is triage, not verification
- Send anything to the founder
