Read a 50-page deck in seconds
You see hundreds of decks a year. Most won't make it past screening. Archie reads every deck in seconds, extracts the information that matters, flags the risks, and drafts an investment memo so you can spend your time on the founders worth meeting — not on page 37 of a pitch deck.
Start your free trialAn emerging GP sees 500 to 1,000 decks per year. Each one takes 15 to 30 minutes to properly review — that's 250 hours of deck reading annually. Most funds don't have an analyst to delegate this to, which means either you skim decks and miss hidden gems, or you spend your weekends buried in PDFs instead of building LP relationships and helping portfolio companies.
Archie changes the math entirely. Upload a deck — or forward the pitch email — and Archie reads every page, extracts the key information into a structured format, identifies red flags, and drafts a preliminary investment memo. A 50-page deck becomes a two-page summary in under 30 seconds. You read the summary, decide if the company warrants a meeting, and move on. The hours you save on deck review go back into the activities that actually return alpha.
This isn't simple text extraction. Archie is powered by Claude and understands the difference between a compelling TAM slide backed by bottoms-up analysis and a hand-wavy top-down market sizing. It evaluates financial projections against industry benchmarks, spots inconsistencies between the narrative and the numbers, and gives you an honest assessment — the kind a sharp junior analyst would produce, delivered in seconds instead of days.
Upload any pitch deck and Archie extracts the essentials: team background, market size and approach, business model, traction metrics, competitive landscape, and the ask. Everything organized in a consistent format so you can compare deals apples-to-apples regardless of how the founder structured their deck.
Say “Draft an IC memo for this deck” and Archie generates a structured investment memo covering the opportunity, team assessment, market analysis, business model evaluation, risks and mitigants, and a preliminary recommendation. Edit it or use it as-is — either way, you saved hours of writing.
Archie evaluates the financial projections in a deck against industry benchmarks and internal consistency. It flags unrealistic growth assumptions, inconsistent unit economics, and missing key metrics. Ask “Does this model make sense?” and get a detailed breakdown of where the numbers hold up and where they don't.
Archie pulls the competitive positioning from the deck and structures it into a clear landscape map. It identifies whether the founder has addressed key competitors, notes any obvious omissions, and highlights the claimed differentiation. A quick way to assess whether the founder understands their market.
Archie automatically flags concerns: vague market sizing, missing unit economics, inconsistent metrics across slides, unrealistic timelines, concentrated customer risk, or cap table issues. Each flag comes with a brief explanation so you can quickly decide which concerns are deal-breakers and which are worth discussing with the founder.
Evaluating two companies in the same space? Ask Archie to compare their decks side-by-side and get a structured comparison across team, market, traction, financials, and risk. Perfect for IC discussions when you're choosing between competing opportunities or building conviction around a sector thesis.
Monday morning, 20 new decks in your inbox. Upload them to Archie and get structured summaries for each one. Scan the summaries, flag three for first meetings, pass on the rest, and move on with your day. What used to consume an entire afternoon now takes 60 minutes.
You've decided to bring a deal to IC. Ask Archie to draft the investment memo using the pitch deck, your meeting notes, and any DD documents you've collected. Archie synthesizes everything into a structured memo that follows your fund's format. Edit the parts that need your voice, and you're ready.
During due diligence you receive financial statements, customer contracts, employment agreements, and corporate documents. Upload them to Archie and ask specific questions: “Are there any change-of-control provisions?” or “Summarize the revenue recognition policy.” Archie reads everything and gives you targeted answers.
Archie is powered by Claude, which excels at understanding complex documents with mixed text, charts, and tables. It extracts information with high accuracy and clearly labels any sections where it's uncertain or where the source material is ambiguous. Every summary links back to the specific deck pages so you can verify any claim in seconds.
Uploaded documents are stored in your encrypted Archstone data room and processed in a secure, isolated environment. They are not shared with other users, used for model training, or accessible to anyone outside your authenticated team. You can delete any document at any time and it is permanently removed.
Archie can analyze PDFs (the most common format for pitch decks), PowerPoint files (.pptx), Word documents (.docx), and Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx). For spreadsheets, Archie can read formulas and cell relationships, making it effective for financial model review. Image-heavy decks with embedded charts are fully supported.
Yes. Archie learns your preferences as you use it. When you consistently pass on deals with certain characteristics or flag specific metrics as important, Archie incorporates those patterns into future analyses. Over time, its red flag detection and preliminary recommendations align more closely with your investment thesis and decision-making style.
