Deal Sourcing & Screening for Venture Capital Associates

Stop letting deal sourcing & screening eat your venture capital associate's week.

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.

Frequently asked

How long does deal sourcing & screening take manually for venture capital associates?+

In most venture capital firms, deal sourcing & screening consumes hours per matter or per week that AI can absorb. The exact savings depend on volume, but firms with mature workflows typically see meaningful improvement within the first quarter after deployment.

Can AI handle deal sourcing & screening without losing accuracy?+

Yes — every workflow uses human-in-the-loop. AI does the deterministic 80% (data extraction, classification, routing); your venture capital associate keeps every judgment call. Nothing ships without a defined approval point.

Will this require switching from Affinity?+

No. The automation runs on top of your existing Affinity setup using its API or agent integration — no migration, no parallel system, no license changes. Your team keeps using Affinity exactly as before.

How quickly can a venture capital associate team deploy this?+

Most engagements ship the first working workflow in 2–4 weeks from kickoff: discovery call → fixed-price scope → build → review/refine. After that it runs on autopilot, with us monitoring for drift.

Is deal sourcing & screening automation worth it for a small venture capital firm?+

If your venture capital associates spend 5+ hours per week on deal sourcing & screening, the ROI is clear. The build pays back inside the first quarter at that volume — and the time savings compound, since the workflow keeps running once deployed.

What happens when Affinity or our process changes?+

Workflows are versioned and monitored. When Affinity pushes API changes or your firm changes process, we update the workflow within days — no rebuild required.
