QUESTIONS

    What you're probably asking.

    What is Capwave?

    I'm the AI chief of staff for venture firms, from the first deck to the next fund. I connect your inbox, calendar, meetings, data rooms, and intake page into one firm memory, then score every deal, prep every meeting, keep the pipeline current, watch every portfolio company, follow up every LP, and hold every commitment until it closes.

    Who is Capwave for?

    Venture firms of every size. Two partners run like ten. A ten-person platform runs like one firm. Any partner who reads decks, takes meetings, writes memos, and manages LPs, and any firm that wants every partner working from what the whole firm knows. Firms with two partners and firms with twenty people. At two, I am the platform team you never hired. At twenty, I am the one memory that stops the forwarding.

    Why not just give everyone ChatGPT?

    Because it knows one person. Each partner's assistant learns that partner, and the firm is the sum of what they never told each other. I am one memory for the whole firm: every deal, score, promise and relationship, readable by every seat, and it stays when people leave. A personal assistant makes one person faster. I make the firm know what it knows.

    How is this different from our CRM?

    Keeping track of things is only part of my job. A CRM stops at what happened: contacts, activity, records. I proactively reason over what happened along with stored context to tell you what something means: which deal to press, what changed in a company, who to reach before the raise. Some firms keep both, but the CRM stays the filing cabinet.

    We already use a general AI assistant. Why this?

    Keep it. An assistant answers the prompt and forgets the deal. I hold the work: I'm connected to your firm's real accounts, I follow a task across them, and I keep tracking it until it closes. And I know venture, not just you. Ask your assistant what changed in your conviction on a deal between the first meeting and the second, and see what happens.

    Is this multiplayer AI for a VC firm?

    It's what I do best. I pull what every partner knows into one shared memory across deals, portfolio companies, founders, and LPs. Shared context with a general assistant still only creates the output of a general assistant. I'm built for the investment cycle the way Harvey is built for legal work: domain-trained with the firm's judgment encoded. The multiplayer part is table-stakes; the vertical part is the point.

    Couldn't we build this ourselves?

    You're all smart, and some of you even come from engineering backgrounds. I'm sure you can build your own v1 in a week; and it will get you maybe 10% of what AI can actually do for your firm. Your edge is picking companies, not maintaining software. What can't be assembled in a week: the founder-side dataset (1,500+ companies raising on Capwave), the evaluation work that makes output trustworthy on live deal data, and the maintenance nobody budgets for. Law firms ran the same math, then bought the legal platform instead; they kept their edge on the work and left the tooling to the experts. The partners raising the next fund are doing the same. Your roadmap is my Tuesday.

    What does Capwave replace?

    The weekend LLM build, the meeting-prep GPT, the signal feed, and the hours after 7pm. On day one your CRM and your notetaker stay: I read what they record and do the work they don't. Over time, the deal sheet, the notes and the follow-through live in me, and each firm decides what the CRM still needs to hold.

    Do I have to replace my current stack?

    Not on day one. I start alongside what you run today, reading what your CRM and notetaker record. Over time the work they were doing lives in me, and when you consolidate, one export-import brings your history over: contacts, deals, notes, and sources, in the right places.

    How does pricing work?

    $200 per seat per month, billed monthly, cancel anytime, every agent on every plan. Firm-wide plans for larger funds are priced in a conversation.

    How do I know a number is real?

    Every fact in every brief, score, and memo is cited to its source: your deck, your email, your transcript, or public data like funding history, marked as such. Hover any field and see where it came from. If it can't be grounded, it doesn't ship.

    How long is onboarding?

    Under five minutes to connect: inbox, calendar, and your notetaker (Granola or Fireflies). I read your last 60 days before you hang up, then go six months deep on every deal and portfolio company. Your first daily brief arrives the next morning at 7:00. Custom thesis scoring is optional and guided, whenever you want to go deeper.

    How is founder and investor data kept separate?

    Capwave for investors and Capwave for founders are fully siloed by design. Pipelines never cross sides and no data leaks between them.

    Our deals are confidential. What happens to them?

    They stay yours, structurally. Your firm's data is siloed on its own infrastructure, never used for training, permissioned by mode (personal, firm, portfolio), and every action I take leaves an audit trail. No fund ever sees another fund's deals, notes, or LPs. That's the difference from ad-hoc AI use, where confidential materials end up in personal accounts under settings nobody at the firm chose. Full detail on the Security page.

    Does it send anything without me?

    No. Nothing goes out to a founder or an LP without your say-so. Auto-pass and stage replies are off until you turn them on, and every action is logged.

    What do you connect to?

    Your inbox, calendar, meeting transcripts (Granola or Fireflies), data rooms, DocSend links, your firm's own intake page, and Slack. Every deal and LP email gets intelligence, and the relationship graph builds itself from them. Texts and LinkedIn are next: deals don't stay in email, and neither will I.

    Can founders submit to us directly?

    Yes. Your firm gets its own intake page. Every submission is scored the same way as your inbox, so you can open the door to every founder and spend your time only on the fits. The non-fits get an answer in your words, once you turn that on.

    Can I use Claude or my own agents with Capwave?

    Yes. I layer your firm's context over MCP, so Claude and any agents you've built run on structured, permissioned data instead of whatever's pasted into a prompt.

    How do I get in?

    Three ways in. Book a demo, and your invite follows it with a set-up call and your first brief the next morning. Ask a current member to invite you, and you skip the line. Or get an invite through the form, and I'll let you know when there's room.

    Why is Capwave invitation-only?

    Because I run on your firm's own inbox, calendar and meetings, I only take firms I can set up properly: thesis loaded, portfolio mapped, first brief the next morning. Ask in thirty seconds; if your firm is a fit, you'll hear from us fast.

    What changes over time?

    Day one, you get the hours back. By month one I hold the firm's memory: where you left off with every founder, what each company promised, what you owe whom. By quarter one, more of the work runs on its own, at the autonomy level you set. By year one your network is liquid: the right person surfaces at the right moment for a portfolio hire, a co-investor, or an LP, with the reason attached. Your social capital grows every quarter you run on me. Think of David Rockefeller's Rolodex, a card for everyone he ever met with the date and what was said, kept for the whole firm and able to answer questions.
