"How you ranked or scored everything was actually validating. I was very impressed. You could tell that you had done your work on the voice of the investor."

⚑ Fatal Flaw
Blueprint open-sourced last month. TAM 4× overstated.

✅ Co-founder: $2.5B deployed
✅ Market: 22% CAGR

⚑ Fatal Flaw
CEO is fractional. TAM 10× overstated. Zero IP.

Why Not Just Build Your Own?
A custom agent isn't the same as infrastructure.
DIY Agent
SPARC™ Signal
Framework
✗ You write the prompts. Nothing ensures they reflect how investment committees actually think.
✓ Built with angel groups and fund managers. Tested against real investment decisions, not hypothetical ones.
Consistency
✗ Outputs drift as models update, prompts change, or new team members run their own version.
✓ Locked rubric, versioned weights. Deal 3 and deal 103 are evaluated the same way.
Data structure
✗ Outputs land in docs or emails. Nothing is structured, comparable, or queryable over time.
✓ Every assessment stored in the same structure. Compare deals, spot patterns, build your own picture of your pipeline.
Maintenance
✗ Your team owns it. Every model update, criteria change, or edge case is yours to fix.
✓ We maintain the infrastructure. Your time goes to the decisions, not the tooling.
Validation
Tested with real investors. Validated against real decisions.

Beyond Screening
Every deal you screen builds your edge.
Most investors screen deals and move on. The data disappears into email threads and spreadsheets. SPARC keeps it — scored the same way, against the same framework, every time. Do that for a year and you'll have something rare and valuable you don't have today: a real and clean dataset you can mine to get deeper insights you'd be hard-pressed to get otherwise.
Today
Understand every deal more rigorously
SPARC creates a consistent, evidence-backed assessment of every company entering your pipeline. A documented record no individual reviewer's memory can replicate — structured, sourced, and defensible from deal one.
● Available at pilot launch
Over time
See what no individual pipeline can reveal
As structured deal intelligence grows — with appropriate permissions and confidentiality protections — SPARC can help surface potentially overlooked opportunities, identify companies with similar underlying signals, and expand visibility beyond familiar sourcing channels. Patterns across fragmented deal flow that no single investor can see alone.

FAQ
Questions we'd want answered too.
SPARC™ Signal is currently in controlled pilot development with two investor organizations. Initial early-access release is planned for late Summer 2026. Members who join the early-access group today will receive priority access, their rate locked at today's pricing for 12 months, and a free 5-deal pilot to calibrate against their own judgment. No payment required.
You can. Most groups find the hard part isn't the AI — it's everything underneath it. A custom agent will read a pitch deck and return an answer. What it won't do is apply a consistent, investment-grade framework across every deal, capture the outputs in structured, comparable form, or maintain data discipline as your criteria evolve and models change. SPARC was built with that in mind from the start — not just a rubric, but the data architecture behind it. Every assessment is structured the same way, scored against the same dimensions, and stored so you can actually use it later: compare deals, spot patterns, build your own picture of what's hitting your pipeline over time. That's a different kind of infrastructure than a prompt and an API call. It's what takes months to build right and most teams never finish.
Enterprise-level security by default. Clear data lifecycle protocols. Your data is deleted within 30 days and is never used to train the model — expressly stated in the contract.
No payment, no obligation. You're securing early-access pricing — 25% off the already-discounted annual rate — and joining the SPARC Founding Advisor Group: a small cohort of practitioners with direct input on rubric calibration and early feature access. When the pilot opens, you run 5 deals free, calibrate against your own judgment, then choose a plan.
No — by design. SPARC™ frees you to apply your judgment where it matters most: founder conversations, thesis fit, and relationship calls. It automates the research and standardizes the framework underneath those calls.
