Investors ask for

Request audited financials and custody proof.

Pass: custody opacity is the dealbreaker.

The deck discloses no custody mechanics and no round terms. At $14.7B average daily volume, the absence of any statement on whether customer assets are segregated from FTX operating capital is the central risk, not a diligence footnote, and no investor can responsibly commit capital without audited proof of segregation and a term sheet.

The one blocker

Customer fund segregation never disclosed in deck

“Everyone gives you a reaction. Nobody gives you a ruling.”

Kevin CarterCoach’s Corner

“[It] was brutally honest and answered EVERY question I had. If I had lunch with 1,000 Joe Shmoe VC’s it still wouldn’t have been as valuable.”
Ethan TylerFounder, sent.bio
“I tightened everything based on that feedback. Started sending the revised version out. People started responding. Not polite passes. Real conversations.”

“We’ve already integrated Verdict into Venture Scoreboard by Funded House® and are using it to help startups and investors both get clarity on investability.”

Why not a chat window

What a chat window cannot do.

A chat starts from nothing every time.

It shows its work
Every number links back to the page it came from.
It learns
It checks its own work after every memo and remembers what it got wrong.
It ranks your fixes
What to change first, in the order investors care.

Frequently asked

The questions everyone asks first.

What do I get?

Why an investor would pass, ranked, with the fix for each. Then the questions they’ll ask.

How is this different from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini directly?

A climate-tech deck claimed 450 terawatts of waste heat on slide 3, and nobody who built it caught the error. Terawatts measure power, not energy, so the figure was impossible. Verdict caught it on the first run. A general assistant returns the answer a reader will accept. Verdict looks for the thing that kills the deal.

What about hallucinations?

Every figure links to its source page, so you can check any claim in one click.

How does sharing a memo work?

Every memo has a read-only link, and whoever you send it to needs no account. Paid plans export a PDF with a confidential mark and every source listed at the back.

Your data is safe

Every deck you upload is sensitive. Here is exactly what happens to it.

Private to you

Files belong to the account that uploaded them, and Verdict looks them up by that account every time it reads them.

Never trained on

That covers the memo and any feedback you write, not only the deck. Anthropic runs the model behind Verdict, and its commercial terms forbid training on anything a customer sends.

Encrypted

Encrypted at rest and in transit. The exact standards are in the Data Processing Addendum.

Yours to delete

Deleting a memo removes the deck file in the same step. Anything you keep is deleted after 90 days. Mark a deck sensitive and its file is deleted 24 hours after upload, whether or not the memo finished.
