ScoringFactory for Investors

Score your deal flow.
Against your thesis.

Too many decks, not enough hours. ScoringFactory reads the real record and scores the founders and companies in your pipeline against your thesis, surfacing the ones worth diligence with the exact line of evidence behind every call. Your partners keep the judgment. The memo just writes faster and holds up at IC.

The problem

The best deal is buried. The memo has to hold.

Great founders get lost in the volume, gut calls fall apart the moment a partner pushes back, and a score nobody can trace is a score nobody trusts.

Too many decks

Hundreds of inbound and sourced companies a month, and the founder worth backing is somewhere in the pile that never gets a real read.

Gut calls stall at IC

A conviction you cannot break down into evidence does not survive the room. The deal dies on a question you could have answered.

Black-box scores

A number with no receipt is worse than no number. If nobody can defend where it came from, nobody puts it in the memo.

How it scores founders and companies

Reads the record. Calibrated to your thesis.

ScoringFactory builds a bespoke company brain from your thesis and how your team actually decides, then scores every company against your bar with the evidence attached.

01 Reads the real record

It reads the record and the traction signals.

  • The real record, not the deck. Team history, product, hiring velocity, and growth pulled from the sources you already trust.
  • Traction signals. Revenue trajectory, retention, and momentum weighed against companies at the same stage.
  • Inflated claims get flagged. A title or logo with no supporting evidence in the record never moves the score.

02 Calibrated to your thesis

Weighted on the dimensions your fund cares about.

  • Your thesis, encoded. Stage, sector, and the pattern behind your best checks become the bar every company is measured against.
  • Five dimensions. Founder signal, Traction, Market fit, Team and network, and Momentum, each weighted the way your partners weight them.
  • Sharpens over time. Every pass and every deal you do calibrates the model closer to your judgment.

What partners, ops, and IT ask before they trust a score.

How does thesis calibration actually work?+

Onboarding is a guided engagement, not a 60-second form. Our team runs working sessions to capture your thesis, your rubric, and how your partners actually decide, then builds a bespoke company brain and validates it against your real deals. From there it scores every company against your bar and sharpens with each pass you review.

Does this replace partner judgment?+

No. It augments it. ScoringFactory surfaces the companies worth diligence and assembles the evidence, so your partners spend their judgment on the deals that clear the bar instead of triaging the pile. The conviction and the decision stay yours. The score just makes them faster to reach and easier to defend.

What data sources do you pull from?+

For diligence we read from Crunchbase, PitchBook, Harmonic, LinkedIn, and Apollo, and scores sync back to your CRM in Affinity, Salesforce, or HubSpot. It is model-agnostic too: run scoring on OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, your own cloud tenant, or bring your own key.

How do you handle our data and security?+

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored in an isolated database for each customer, and never used to train shared models. We run on SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure, and a DPA is available on request.

Score your next fund with the receipts.

Bring your thesis and your pipeline. We build the company brain, score the deal flow, and hand back a ranked shortlist your IC can trust.
