About IdeaPulley

IdeaPulley Scout is an AI-powered founder evaluation platform designed for venture capital firms, startup accelerators, and angel syndicates. It automates the first-pass diligence by ingesting pitch decks, startup URLs, or application forms and running parallel AI agents that independently analyze market size, team background, traction signals, and competitive landscape. Each application receives a calibrated fund/pass/revisit verdict with a confidence score and a sourced dossier citing every piece of evidence. The platform supports bulk validation of hundreds of companies at once, integrates with tools like Affinity, Salesforce, HubSpot, and Notion, and provides IC-ready outputs including investment memos and next-step recommendations. Pricing starts at $199 per month for the Starter plan.
