Venture funds and angel syndicates lose hundreds of hours manually cross-checking customer logos, traction claims, and regulatory certificates in early-stage pitch decks.

Factum ingests decks, data rooms, and founder claims, instantly running automated cross-verification against live public registries, state corporate databases, customer domain DNS records, and trademark databases. Investment committees receive a deterministic verification audit scoring each claim before wires are sent, slashing diligence cycles from weeks to minutes while removing blind risk.

Factum is building the trusted verification layer for private capital allocation worldwide.

Problem
  • When I evaluate 20+ startup pitch decks weekly, I want to verify client logos and ARR claims, but manual verification wastes 15+ hours per deal with high risk of missing fabricated claims.
  • Why Now: Private syndicates and micro-funds are operating at peak velocity with lean teams, while AI-generated pitch materials make inflated claims faster to produce and harder to spot.
  • When I present an SPV allocation to my angel network, I want to guarantee traction veracity, but discovering inflated stats post-close causes permanent LP churn and reputational damage.
  • When I prepare deal memos for investment committee sign-off, I want verified corporate registrations and IP filings, but legal counsel charges $500/hour for basic registry lookups.
  • Existing Alternatives: Manual Google searches, hiring offshore paralegals on Upwork, or blind founder trust.
Solution
  • High-Level Concept: Deterministic claim extraction and autonomous registry cross-verification for investment syndicates.
  • Automated PDF deck parser that isolates every numeric metric, logo attribution, certification, and patent claim.
  • Real-time API reconciliation across SEC EDGAR, Delaware Division of Corps, USPTO, and verified corporate DNS records.
  • One-click LP-ready diligence verification memo with red-flag risk scoring and verifiable audit trails.
Distribution
  • Lead Syndicate Leads and Micro-VC General Partners managing $5M to $50M funds who review 50+ decks monthly.
  • Direct partnerships with AngelList and Carta SPV syndicate organizers via native diligence add-on integrations.
  • Publishing anonymized quarterly 'State of Pitch Veracity' benchmark reports analyzing claims across public equity crowdfunding portals.
Pricing
  • Value Ladder: Free Tier: 3 deck audits per month with basic registry checks; Syndicate Pro at $299/month for unlimited audits; Fund Enterprise at $1.5k/month for custom API hooks and dedicated analyst verification.
  • One Metric That Matters: Number of verified claims audited per active investment committee monthly.
  • SAM/SOM: 12k US-based active angel syndicates and micro-VCs. Capturing 600 funds at $3.6k annual contract value yields $2.1M ARR in Year 1.
Scale Costs
  • High-throughput commercial registry database lookup fees across state, federal, and international corporate registries.
  • SOC-2 Type II and ISO-27001 data compliance architecture for handling sensitive non-public pitch data rooms.
