Due Diligence Copilot
Archstone's DD Copilot analyzes pitch decks across 9 dimensions — founders, financials, product, market, competition, customers, legal structure, cap table, and use of funds. Every section gets a grade, strengths, concerns, deal-killers, and key questions for the founder call.
Drop a PDF. Archstone extracts the text, identifies the company, and queues the analysis. Max 20MB.
AI evaluates founders, financials, product, market, competition, customers, legal, cap table, and use of funds simultaneously.
Each section is graded A-F. Deal-killers are flagged. You get an IC-ready one-pager and the top questions for the founder call.

An emerging GP reviewing deal flow has a screening problem. You receive 10-20 pitch decks a week. A proper initial diligence pass — reading the deck carefully, researching the founders, checking the financials, analyzing the competitive landscape, validating the market size — takes 4-6 hours per deal. At 200 decks a year, that's 800-1,200 hours just on initial screening. You don't have that time. Nobody does.
So you skim. You look at the team slide, glance at the revenue number, and make a gut call. The good deals get a deeper look. The rest get a polite pass email. But you know that some of those passes had buried signals you missed — a concerning cap table structure, a legal red flag in the entity setup, customer concentration that makes the revenue number misleading.
The DD Copilot gives you a comprehensive initial screen in 90 seconds. Upload the deck and get back a graded analysis across all 9 dimensions a diligent investor would check. It's not a replacement for deep due diligence — it's the screen that tells you which decks deserve it and which ones you can confidently pass on, along with the specific questions to ask when you do take the meeting.

No. The DD Copilot is a screening tool that gives you a structured initial analysis in 90 seconds. It identifies the sections that need deeper investigation and generates the questions you should ask on the founder call. The actual diligence — reference checks, financial audits, legal review — still requires human judgment.
PDF files up to 20MB. The deck needs to contain extractable text (not image-only PDFs). Most pitch decks exported from Google Slides, Keynote, or PowerPoint work perfectly.
Yes. DD reports can be linked to existing deals in your pipeline, or they can automatically create a new deal with the extracted company data, sector, stage, and score. The DD grade appears on the deal card in your kanban board.
You get 1 free DD report per month on any Archstone plan. For higher volume, the DD Copilot has its own pricing tiers (Scout, Analyst, Partner) starting at $149/mo. This is separate from your Archstone subscription because the AI analysis costs are significant per report.
