EPIC Analyst AI
Show me where Acme's organisational signal is most fragile despite the 78 score.
Acme's I pillar (Innovate) sits at 65 vs cohort 71 — the gap is concentrated on KPI I04(market signal integration cadence) where the founder self-rated 3/3 but the behavioural pattern over the last 3 reassessments suggests 2/3. Worth probing in your next conversation.

Risk management across the full investment lifecycle.

EPIC Connect is the first standardised rating instrument for organisational risk in early-stage ventures — giving investors a structured signal at every moment where that risk matters.

01
Due Diligence
Signal where traditional due diligence is blind
Before committing capital, receive a structured organisational scorecard — 51 KPIs, stage-calibrated, comparable across opportunities. Financial models tell you where a startup is going. EPIC tells you whether the team can get it there.
45%+ of startup failures are non-financial
02
Deal Flow
Organisationally qualified deal flow
Access startups that have already completed an EPIC assessment. You do not just see deal flow — you see deal flow with an organisational health score attached. Evaluate a startup's leadership maturity before the first meeting.
03
Portfolio Monitoring
Detect risk before it appears in the numbers
Track the organisational health of your portfolio companies over time. Reassessments every quarter surface leadership drift, team dysfunction, and execution deterioration — months before they show up in financial reporting.
04
Follow-on Decisions
Objectify what is currently intuition
Compare a portfolio company's current EPIC score against its score at initial investment. Before committing additional capital, answer the question that gut feel cannot: has the organisation actually matured since we first invested?
EPIC Connect is the first standardised, independent, and repeatable rating instrument applied to the dimension of startup risk that has the highest failure correlation and the lowest current measurement discipline.

EPIC Analyst AI.

Built for investors and board members. Diagnostic, not predictive. Anchored in the live KPI evidence of the startup.

What it does well
  • Surfaces invisible risks across due diligence — KPIs the founder underweights, contradictions across pillars, behavioural patterns that don't match the pitch.
  • Compares organisational signal across multiple deals — same instrument, same calibration, comparable findings.
  • Tracks longitudinal organisational maturation in your portfolio — between investments, between board meetings, between quarters.
  • Holds discipline under pressure — never speculates on outcomes, never drifts to prediction, never tells you what you want to hear.
  • Cites only the KPI evidence the data actually surfaces — KPI hallucination is architecturally impossible.

Free for investors — until December 31, 2026.

  • All Pioneer investors get free access to Explore, Compare, Portfolio, the EPIC Analyst AI, and the live scorecard of any organisation actively raising — from now until Dec 31, 2026.
  • Investors who join during Pioneer Period become Founding Members — a status that keeps permanent benefits when standard plans launch on January 1, 2027.
  • After January 1, 2027, you choose between Connect Starter (sourcing + portfolio monitoring), Connect Pro (with EPIC Analyst AI), or — for VC funds — a custom Institutional Licence.
