Introducing SOUND: Your AI-Powered Investment Cockpit

What if you could ask your portfolio data a question and get an immediate, accurate answer?

“Which of my pipeline startups showed the most momentum this quarter?”

“How does this fintech’s burn rate compare to similar companies at this stage?”

“Show me all Series A opportunities in climate tech with female founders.”

This is SOUND — the living cockpit for modern venture capital.

The Problem with Current Tools

Every VC firm has data scattered across dozens of systems:

CRMs (Affinity, HubSpot, Salesforce)
Deal flow tools (various spreadsheets, sometimes)
Portfolio monitoring (manual updates, quarterly)
Market data (Crunchbase, PitchBook, others)
Internal notes (Notion, Google Docs, email)

Getting a simple answer often means:

Checking multiple systems
Exporting to spreadsheets
Manual analysis
Hoping the data is current

This is 2025. We can do better.

Enter SOUND

SOUND unifies your venture data into a single, AI-powered interface. Here’s what makes it different:

Natural Language Queries

Stop writing SQL. Stop building pivot tables. Just ask.

Example queries:

“Show me all startups we’ve seen in the last 30 days”
“Compare our portfolio’s revenue growth to market benchmarks”
“Which deals am I most likely to lose to competitors?”
“What’s the average time-to-close for our investments?”

The AI understands context. It knows your portfolio. It answers in seconds.

Living Dashboards

Static reports are dead. SOUND provides real-time visualizations that update as your data changes:

No more checking dashboards. The data comes to you.
