The research problem

A browser full of tabs doesn't answer whether this fund fits the round.

A fund page tells you what the firm says. A database gives you a row. Old notes remember a conversation. None of those alone answers the useful question: does this fund fit this round, and what evidence supports that answer?

Fit before effort

See the mismatch before it takes a week.

RoundOS compares the fund’s mandate with your company and round across stage, check size, business model, sector, geography, traction and portfolio. Missing evidence remains a concern; it does not become a flattering guess.

Inside the dossier

Strategy, process and proof, specific to this fund.

Each section has a job. Together they explain how the fund invests, what appears to create conviction, where portfolio adjacency helps or hurts, and which facts still need checking.

01 · Strategy

How they invest

Stage, sector, company type, geography and supported check-size evidence, kept separate from vague brand language.

02 · Decision process

What seems to convince them

The decision signals found in their public material and research evidence, without inventing a process that is not documented.

03 · Portfolio signal

Patterns, adjacency and conflict

Relevant portfolio companies and what each one changes about the fit: pattern proof, useful adjacency or a concern to resolve.

04 · People & news

Who matters now

Relevant partners, their focus areas and recent fund intelligence, so the logo resolves into actual people and current context.

RoundOS preserves supported claims and names the unknowns. That makes the dossier useful in a meeting: you can rely on the evidence without confusing completeness with confidence.

People and access

A fund is a handful of people. RoundOS shows you which ones matter.

The dossier shows who is relevant to your company and ranks the path through people already in your network. Path strength, freshness, intro likelihood and connector load stay visible, so a “warm intro” is not treated as a binary badge.

Built on your round

The same fund can be a different answer.

A static database returns the same record to everyone. RoundOS assesses fit against the company and round in front of it, so the reasons and concerns change with the actual raise.

Round A · Seed SaaS

Check size and stage align; one portfolio adjacency needs review.

High fit4 supported reasons

Recommended opener: durable weekly usage and the market gap between fundraising events.

Round B · Growth marketplace

Stage mandate conflicts and the expected ownership is unknown.

Needs review2 material concerns

Recommended move: verify the new fund mandate before spending partner-meeting time.

Questions

Investor research, answered.

01Where does the research come from?

RoundOS builds global fund intelligence from public research and combines it with the company and round context already in the workspace. The dossier keeps a source summary and surfaces missing evidence as unknowns.

02How is this different from an investor database?

A database describes the fund. RoundOS assesses the relationship between that fund and your current round, with concrete fit reasons and concerns backed by evidence.

03Does it identify who to talk to?

It surfaces relevant people and focus areas, then combines that research with ranked introduction paths from the relationships already known to your workspace.

04What happens when information is missing?

The dossier marks the gap. Unknown check size, geography or decision evidence stays unknown instead of being turned into generic venture-capital copy.

05Do I need a Data Room connected?

No. Research can work from the company, round and connected relationship context. A RoundOS room adds engagement signals that can change the next move after an investor starts reading.
