[ THE COMPLETE JOB ]
One teammate across the investment workflow.
The page is organized around the job an analyst performs—not a collection of disconnected AI features.
02SCREEN
The mandate goes first
Stage, geography, cheque size, thesis, and exclusions are applied before deep work starts.
03RESEARCH
Claims meet evidence
Company, founders, market, customers, and comparable deals are researched with sources attached.
04DILIGENCE
Missing information becomes work
Evidence gaps become questions, owners, and deadlines instead of disappearing inside a summary.
05MEMO
An IC draft takes shape
The opportunity, fit, risks, evidence, and closest precedents are prepared for partner review.
06DECIDE
The investment stays human
Partners advance or pass. ALIF records the decision and reasoning so the next deal starts from experience.
[ THE OPERATING BOUNDARY ]
Preparation can move. Conviction stays with the partners.
The strongest product promise is not “AI chooses the investment.” It is that your team reaches the consequential decision with less hidden work and better memory.
- Structures inbound deal material
- Applies the fund mandate consistently
- Researches claims and comparable companies
- Builds the diligence queue and IC draft
- Whether the evidence is sufficient
- Which risks the fund is willing to accept
- Whether to advance, pass, or change the terms
- Which reasoning should become firm precedent
[ WHY IT IMPROVES ]
The next deal starts from your firm’s experience.
ALIF does not retrain a foundation model on private fund data. It retrieves approved organizational context, keeps its source and scope, and records new decisions only after your team makes them.
