For founders
Get discovered by investors you never pitched.
- Clear the bar, reach the investor.
- Pitch against an investor's published bar. Clear it and your scored report can reach them. This is not an introduction.
- Let Discovery find you.
- Opt in, and matching investors see anonymized evidence with fit reasons. Your name unlocks only when you approve a reveal.
- A pass isn't a dead end.
- On a pass, syndication shares your case with more matched investors.
For investors
Dealflow, screened before it reaches you.
- Your thesis takes the first call.
- Founders pitch your published bar around the clock. Scored handoffs arrive only when they clear it. Scores assess the pitch, not the claims.
- See beyond inbound.
- Discovery surfaces anonymized, thesis-matched companies. Identity reveals only with founder approval.
- Streamlined from first look to IC.
- Requests, decisions, memos, and portfolio context stay in one system.
Your copilot prepares. You make the call.
Review every change before it applies. Intro emails go out only after the investor requests one, approves it, and the handoff is accepted. Private evaluations stay with the investor.

Agentic infrastructure.
Venture that learns. With every company.
Gatekeep is early. The direction is clear: evidence, judgment, and outcomes accumulate in one place, owned by the people who create them.
Evidence graph
Every pitch adds structured, cited records: what the founder claimed, what public sources substantiate, what changed between attempts. Records are queryable and exportable.
Decision data
Accepts, declines, score feedback, meetings, and terms feed precision and observed-versus-stated views. Your calibration improves with every deal you run through the platform.
Market intelligence
At volume the graph becomes a market signal: substantiation rates, pass rates by sector and stage, where bars are moving. Built from consented records.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What founders and investors ask before they start.
01What is Gatekeep?
Gatekeep is an AI-native operating system for venture. Founders pitch an AI persona built on a real investor's published criteria and get scored across 12 evidence-backed dimensions. Every pitch adds to the same record, which investors can read with its cited detail before any intro is made. AI agents prepare the work, and people approve every change.
02How does a pitch work?
Pick an investor, read their thesis and pass bar, then pitch in a timed 30-minute conversation. The persona asks real questions and follows up. You get a 12-dimension scored report with evidence tied to what you said, plus an action plan. Every attempt sharpens the next one.
03How do I get in front of investors without a network?
You pitch the investor's real bar instead of asking for an intro. When that persona has been claimed and you pass, your scored report can reach the investor. You do not need cold emails or a network. If you are not there yet, you get exact feedback and can retry.
04What is the difference between pitching and Discovery Mode?
Pitching is direct: you choose one investor, and passing their bar can surface your report if they have claimed the persona. Discovery runs alongside it. With visibility on, your anonymized evidence can match other investors who opted in, even investors you never pitched. They can request an intro, and you decide whether to reveal who you are.
05Do investors see who I am before I approve a connection?
No. Discovery shows investors an anonymized profile with fit reasons, not your identity. Your name and contact unlock only when you approve an intro request. For direct pitches, surfacing is on by default; you can turn it off to keep a pitch in practice mode. A report reaches an investor only if the persona is claimed, you pass, and surfacing is on.
06Is Discovery Mode free for investors?
Claiming your persona and receiving direct handoffs is free. Discovery Mode, the anonymized founder feed, is included with VC Pro ($50/mo) and Scale ($150/mo). Partners and approved angels have Discovery access too.
07Who are the AI investor personas based on?
Personas are based on real investors and funds. Claimed personas are calibrated by the actual investor and carry a green badge. Unclaimed personas are built from public investment data and tell you that reports cannot reach the real fund until the profile is claimed.
08Is it free to pitch?
Yes. You get 2 free pitches to start, plus 1 free pitch per rolling 24 hours. Core ($20/mo) adds unlimited pitches and up to 10 discovery matches with fit reasons. Free and Core plans syndicate your report to 5 investors on pass; Pro ($50/mo) raises that to 10 and adds warm intro requests, match alerts, and update automation.
09What is the founding membership?
A one-time $379 payment for Core-tier access for the lifetime of the service, with no subscription. It includes unlimited pitches, no cooldowns, up to 10 discovery matches with fit reasons, benchmarks, the data room, and investor updates, plus future Core-tier data features. Limited to 100 spots.
10What happens after I complete a pitch?
You get that investor's verdict (Pass, Conditional, or Fail), a score out of 10, a 12-dimension breakdown, evidence-based feedback, a SWOT analysis, and a next-step action plan. A Fail is one investor's read on one conversation, not a verdict on you. If the persona is claimed and you passed, your report can reach that investor.
11What can the assistant do?
Connect Gatekeep and the agent can read your own pipeline, portfolio, fund, or Watch, then prepare changes as approval cards. Nothing saves without your approval, and it never pitches, sends, or acts on your behalf.
