Questions funds and founders ask about Delsivo

Delsivo is an AI investment workspace for venture funds. Founders apply on the fund's branded portal, Delsivo analyses the deck with slide citations, checks it against the fund's thesis, runs a live AI founder interview, and keeps every claim, request, file and decision in one deal record.

Yes. Every fund gets a branded portal on its own subdomain, such as yourfund.delsivo.app. On the upgrade plan you can use your own domain, such as apply.yourfund.com, after a DNS ownership check. Your logo, colours and copy appear on every founder page and email.

PDF first. PowerPoint follows once extraction quality is measured on real decks. The original file is kept, every extracted fact links to its slide, and slides where text or charts couldn't be read are flagged instead of guessed.

You write it as hard requirements (stage, sector, geography, round size), weighted preferences, exceptions and questions, and publish it as a version. Each deal shows every criterion with the rule, the value found, the source and the reasoning. A missing value is shown as Unknown and becomes a question.

Not at first. Delsivo covers intake, screening, interviews, evidence, requests and diligence for each deal. CRM import and export and email and calendar sync are planned for a later release, so it can sit beside the tools you already use.

No. AI extracts facts, applies your rubric, assesses interview answers and drafts questions, always with citations. People move every deal, pass with a reason, approve every message to a founder and can override any AI assessment with a recorded reason.

Every finding cites its source: the deck version and slide, the interview answer and timestamp, the form answer, the room document and page, or the dated web page. Quotes that can't be found in the source are dropped, not shown.

Both statements are kept and the claim is marked Disputed with both sources cited, and a verification task is created. For example, a deck that says 20 enterprise customers and an interview that clarifies 12 are unpaid pilots keeps both claims.

No. Delsivo uses AI providers under terms that don't train on submitted content, and confirms those terms before any customer content is processed. Each fund's data is used only for that fund's work.

No. The AI assesses only the transcript: the substance of what was said and the evidence behind it. Accent, fluency, presentation polish, appearance, background and the video and screen images are excluded. People at the fund watch the recording. A text interview is always available, and founders can flag transcription errors.

Founders never pay. In the pilot they sign in to a fund's portal with a one-time code sent to their email. After the first release, one Delsivo founder account is planned to work on every fund portal that uses Delsivo, on any fund's subdomain or domain.

It is one recorded call in the browser, capped at a length the fund sets, usually 15 to 20 minutes. You share your screen with the camera on and pitch for about 5 minutes, then an AI interviewer asks the fund's questions out loud. Camera, microphone and screen each need your consent, and a text interview is always available.

A planned space at my.delsivo.app to run your own round: rounds with terms by instrument, an investor pipeline board and table, notes, meetings, files and a closing checklist. Every application you make through a Delsivo portal appears in it with the fund's live status. It is planned for after the first release.

No. Funds never see your CRM: not your notes, stages, other investors, probabilities, round terms or other applications. A fund receives only what you submit to it. The CRM shows only the status a fund already shows you on its own portal, never its internal notes or ratings.

Yes. Founders see the key facts extracted from their deck and can correct them. The correction is stored alongside the original, so the fund sees both and where each came from. Founders never see internal ratings or notes.

Only people with access to that fund, that deal and that folder or file. The same permission check applies to pages, search, AI answers, notifications and exports, so a restricted file can't leak through a search result or an AI summary.

Files go to private storage, encrypted at rest, and are scanned for malware before anyone can preview them or AI can read them. Suspicious files stay quarantined. Downloads use short-lived links issued only after a permission check.

The fund. The fund is the controller of the data founders submit to it, and Delsivo processes it on the fund's behalf under a data processing agreement. Funds set retention for decks, recordings and transcripts, and deletion removes previews, search indexes and derived copies.

Not yet. Delsivo is built against a control register mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR and India's DPDP Act, and the security page says which controls are planned. We will say so clearly when an audit is complete.

Funds pay and founders are always free. During design partner pilots the price is agreed with each fund. Annual workspace pricing, with application and AI usage allowances, will be set after measuring real pilot usage.

We start with your historical deals to calibrate deck extraction and your rubric, then run live intake with analyst-only recommendations, then turn on interviews and rooms for selected deals. We compare review time, evidence accuracy and founder completion against your current process.

Lean pre-seed and seed funds with enough inbound applications to measure review time, and a small investment team. Accelerators, angel syndicates and corporate venture teams are welcome to talk to us too.
