01Why Xpand
A first read on every founder, that you can check
Inbound deal flow is mostly reading. Xpand does the first read, writes down why, and leaves the decision with your partners.
- 01
Every founder reviewed, with the reasoning
No black-box scores. Each fit score and recommendation says why, and keeps what the founder claims apart from what was checked.
- 02
Your partners decide
The AI reviews and recommends. People approve, decline and reply, and can override any score.
- 03
Hands deals on to Unlocked
When a founder is worth a closer look, Unlocked picks them up for the investment process, deck included.
02How deal flow moves
From a form on your website to a meeting in your calendar
- 01
Create your workspace
Sign up and get a private workspace for your fund. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial, no card needed.
- 02
Open the door to founders
Connect your website’s pitch or contact form, or open a booking page for your next event. Founders arrive with their round, sector and deck.
- 03
The AI reviews each one
Every request gets a fit score with a summary and questions to ask. The Researcher checks the company and the deck and recommends meet, clarify first or defer.
- 04
Approve, decline or propose a time
Decide in one click. The founder hears back by email, and agreed meetings get a calendar invite.
- 05
Hand over to Unlocked
Founders who asked to meet you flow into Unlocked, the deal tracker, for the investment process.
03AI review
What the AI does with each founder
Every answer comes with its reasoning. Nothing is sent, saved or decided until someone on your team says so.
- 01
Pitch review
Reads each meeting request as it arrives (round, sector, revenue stage, what the founder is looking for, whether a deck is attached) and rates the fit from 1 to 10.
What you see: A two-sentence summary for you and three questions to ask in the meeting.
- 02
Researcher
Checks the company: its domain and website, and the UK Companies House register when switched on. Reads the attached pitch deck, then recommends meet, clarify first or defer.
What you see: The evidence behind every signal, founder claims kept apart from checked facts, and what is still unknown.
- 03
Lead Scorer
Scores every contact from 0 to 100 so the people waiting on you are in a sensible order.
What you see: The reasoning in plain words. Anyone on your team can override the score.
