CASIAN AI
Analyze the deal, investigate its market, and challenge founder assumptions. Casian connects its conclusions, sources, and questions to the investment thesis and the team’s work.
Casian grew out of our experience in venture capital. We built the tool we wanted for analyzing deals and preparing committee discussions.
That experience shaped the method: reading heterogeneous documents, evaluating a deal against a thesis, separating facts from assumptions, and developing a position for committee.
Structure the available information, test it against the vehicle’s criteria, and identify the issues that deserve further investigation.
Run targeted web research on markets, competitors, and comparables. Compare the stated positioning with external sources and make estimation assumptions explicit.
Test traction, projections, and differentiation. Prepare specific questions about inconsistencies, weak assumptions, and missing evidence.
Use chat to investigate a point, return to its sources, and connect the answer to existing team work.
Bring conclusions and risks into a structured investment memo fed by the analysis. The team edits it and preserves the committee version.
In due diligence, new document imports trigger an analysis update. Casian revisits findings with the expanded context; versions preserve the reasoning.
You define stage, sector, rules, preferences, and exclusions. Casian assembles the authorized fund, vehicle, and deal context for the task. Your team reviews sources, corrects findings, and develops its own position.
Illustrative context: Rivage Ventures / Sillage Industrie, Seed B2B software, 14 fictional documents, and Atlas’s renewal as an open issue.
Casian integrates AI models with a VC analysis method, source documents, and fund context. Experience with real investment work shaped the method.
Through the vehicle’s published thesis, rules, preferences, exclusions, and authorized documents. This is not automatic training on your deals.
Missing information remains an issue to investigate. AI can make mistakes or omit evidence. The team checks findings and sources before adopting a conclusion.
We agree on the scope, access, processing terms, timeline, and onboarding. Documents are imported into Casian; automatic collection from external tools is not included.
