Deal flow for emerging managers · Fund I / II
Praxis reads every pitch that reaches you, scores it against your thesis, queues the decision, and — with your approval — sends the reply and updates your CRM. Every step recorded, so you can show anyone exactly why.
Works on top of Gmail, Notion, Attio and Slack. Nothing leaves the building without you.
Home — what needs you, and what the agent did overnight. Fund and companies shown are illustrative.
The problem
A one-to-five-person fund sees a few hundred pitches a year. Reading them isn't the hard part — most take five minutes to triage. The hard part is everything around the reading, and it's where reputations are made and lost.
Decks arrive by email, warm intro, Notion, a forwarded thread. Some get read tomorrow, some never. Founders wait, then tell other founders you didn't answer.
So: everything that reaches you is found, scored and queued — and you're told when anyone has waited more than 48 hours.
Screening depends on who's reading, how tired they are, and what came in before. There's no record of why a deal was passed, so the same debate happens twice.
So: every deal is scored against the thesis you wrote, the same way every time, with the reasoning attached.
The decline. The "send us the data room". The Attio update. The Slack note. It's not hard, it's just never the most urgent thing — so it slips.
So: the reply is drafted, the CRM note is written, the stage moves. You approve; it does the rest.
LPs and co-investors ask. "We read every deck" is true and unconvincing. Process is what you can show, not what you say.
So: a decision log — how each deal arrived, what it scored, which model, what you decided, who, when. Exportable.
Who it's for
What changes
Not statistics — commitments. Each one is enforced by the product, not promised by us.
No inbound waits longer without you being told. The home screen counts them; the number should be zero.
Every deal is scored against the same written thesis, by the same rubric — and every score records the model and prompt version that produced it.
Every decision and every action the agent takes is recorded with who, when and why — and nothing goes to a founder without a partner's approval.
How it works
A pitch is a decision waiting to be made. Praxis handles everything around the decision and leaves the decision to you.
Gmail, a Notion database, an Attio record, or the public intake link you put on your site. No forwarding rules, no CSV.
Six dimensions and a draft memo. Numbers the deck claims are kept apart from numbers that were verified — and conflicts are flagged.
A queue built for one question: pass or follow up? Keyboard-first on the desk, thumb-first between meetings.
The decline or follow-up is drafted and waits for a partner. Approved, it sends, posts to Slack, notes Attio, moves the stage.
Decisions
Score, verdict, and the two actions that matter. Every decision persists, moves the deal, and is recorded with who made it and when.
Approvals
Outbound actions the agent wants to take — an email to a founder, a Slack post, a CRM update — wait here. You set which run automatically and which need a partner.
Why it's different
An AI that screens deals is only useful if you can defend what it did — to a partner, a founder, or an LP.
Which model, which prompt version, which figures came from the deck versus a verified source. Change the thesis and you can see which scores were made under which one.
Score → document → source → connector → workspace. Every mutation records who did it and why, in the same transaction — including what the agent did on its own.
Admin, partner, analyst, viewer — enforced server-side, not hidden in the UI. Each fund's mailbox, tokens and Slack are its own. Sign in with your fund's Google Workspace.
Pricing
Not the enterprise stack. Enough for a Fund I to run its inbox properly.
One partner, one inbox.
Up to five people, one thesis to defend.
Multiple theses, more hands, your own tooling.

Questions a GP asks
Founders
Submit your deck directly. It's scored the same way an email would be, and the fund sees it in minutes — with your name attached, not lost in a thread.
