Scout a hundred companies. Diligence the three that matter.
An intelligence operating system for the investment workflow: sourcing, screening, diligence and pipeline in one place, where each step hands its work to the next instead of sending you back to a blank search field.
Sourcing, screening and diligence in one workspace. Your pipeline stays inside your team.
Who exists at all?
Scout by thesis, technology or founder background — not by someone else's tags.Worth a second look?

Most investment research is lost in the gaps between tools — a name found in one place, re-searched in another, pasted into a third, and stale by the time it reaches the memo. In evalue8 the output of each step is the input of the next.
Less time maintaining information. More time with the people behind it.
No re-searching a name you already looked at, no copying between a database and a spreadsheet, no stale company summary in a memo. The time saved is not the point in itself — it is where it goes: forming a view, meeting founders, arguing the deal.
Sourcing that doesn't depend on who you happen to know
Scout searches companies and people. Start from a company you like and find the ones like it, or start from a topic and let it sweep the market. A run takes three to six minutes and can surface up to a hundred companies at once — with the relevant people to contact.
- Similar startupGive it a name and a website — optionally a deck — and get the companies that actually resemble it.
- Topic searchDescribe a thesis in your own words and let it sweep the field.
- People searchFind founders and operators by background, not by job title.
- Watchlists and saved runsKeep a thesis running and come back to what has changed.

Real search patterns from the product. Scout returns a structured list, not a page of links.
Every company placed the same way, in 10–30 seconds
The problem with screening isn't speed. It's that the twentieth company of the week gets a different level of attention than the first. Quick Research gives each one the same structure — and tells you where it fits your mandate.
- Company snapshotWhat they build, stage, customers, geography, funding and size.
- Why it matches — and why it fits this investorScored against your thesis, stage and check size, not a generic ranking.
- Fit concernsNamed explicitly. A mismatch on model or round shape gets flagged before the call, not after it.
- Data gapsWhat could not be established — stated, rather than filled in with something plausible.
- Quality checkEvidence, identity confidence, official source and relevance, each graded.
A first diligence pass that survives a partner meeting
Extended Research takes five to ten minutes and assembles what an IC memo actually needs — with every claim linked back to where it came from.
- Signals & risksPositive signals and risk factors side by side, each one sourced.
- Diligence prioritiesFinancial validation, customer traction, IP and tech moat — each with the specific questions to put to the founder.
- Strategic landscapeA competitive map positioned by solution overlap and market presence, including the competitors that don't share the category label.
- Defensibility radarDifferentiation, technology, market, team and moat — interpretive, signal-based, and labelled as such.
- Claim validationUpload the deck and every claim in it comes back supported, likely true, insufficient, likely false or contradicted.
Research your partners can open, check and argue with

Not just "is this a good company?" but "what is the market around it?"
A company only means something in its context. Extended Research places it against the competition by solution overlap and market presence — including the players that do not share its category label.
- Direct and adjacent competitorsGrouped by what they technically do, with overlap, presence and traction scored per company.
- Alternative opportunitiesThe comparable companies you could back instead — so the choice is explicit rather than implicit.
- Market structure and positioningWhere value sits today, and which wedge this company is actually holding.
- Technologies underneathThe approaches in play, and how mature each one is.
You can trace why the system reached an assessment
The reason this can go into a memo is that none of it has to be taken on faith. Every claim in a deck is checked, graded and linked back.

Replace your stack — or keep it and add the intelligence
Most funds already have a CRM, a database subscription and a way of working. You don't have to give those up to get structured research.
evalue8 as the operating system
Run the whole intelligence workflow inside the platform — sourcing, screening, diligence, pipeline and tracking in one comparable view, with the team working from the same record.
evalue8 as the intelligence layer
Keep the databases, CRM and tools you have. Reach evalue8 research through MCP inside Claude or Codex, through the API in your own systems and automations, or through direct integrations with Google Drive and Attio.
Either way it's the same structured, validated, source-linked intelligence underneath.
Your pipeline stays yours
What a fund researches is a signal in itself. It doesn't leave your team.
