## The Problem

Venture Capital associates screen 200 deals to fund 2 — the screening work is where deals get missed and where junior time gets burned.

## What We Build

AI pre-screens deals against the fund's thesis in Affinity, drafts a one-page summary per target, and pushes the top 10 to partner review — associate time goes to judgment, not triage.
