Overview

Computer can act as your Series B diligence co‑pilot, fact‑checking every quantitative claim in a pitch deck against live market data and industry benchmarks. It flags metrics that feel cherry‑picked or internally inconsistent, researches the real competitive set, and produces an annotated deck plus investment memo so you can walk into IC prepared.

Key Output

Computer parsed the pitch deck slide‑by‑slide, cross‑referencing every market‑size, growth‑rate, and unit‑economics claim against publicly available data from industry reports, competitor filings, and benchmark studies.

It verified that core metrics like ARR, ACV, customer count, and PEPM pricing were internally consistent and aligned with established wellness platform ranges, but flagged critical issues: an unsubstantiated clinical claim about early disease detection with no cited JAMA source, a TAM figure inflated 3–4× above the actual US corporate wellness market size, cherry‑picked engagement and LTV:CAC benchmarks that placed Aurora in the top 1–2% of all B2B SaaS without cohort‑level validation, and the absence of any competitive landscape slide despite direct competition from Personify Health, Teladoc, Transcarent, and others.

Computer also researched the VP of Sales's background claim around "Peloton Wellness" ARR, finding that Peloton's B2B unit launched in August 2023 primarily as a hardware/app play rather than a wellness platform, raising credibility questions.

The output package includes a 13‑page annotated deck with inline red flags and verification notes, plus a 1‑page investment memo summarizing the top findings, validated metrics, high‑priority concerns, and an 8‑item diligence checklist to send the company before moving to a term sheet discussion.

Tips

  • Set stage and fund context – Anchor the analysis in your mandate, for example: "We're a Series B generalist fund that leads $30–50M rounds; flag any red flags that would prevent us from leading at that check size."
  • Define metric tolerance – Clarify how aggressive you allow claims to be, for example: "Top‑decile SaaS metrics are fine if backed by cohorts; top 1% metrics require audited data or we pass."
  • Specify diligence outputs – Tell Computer what you'll use the work for, for example: "Structure the memo so I can circulate it to the IC and the company knows exactly what we need before scheduling a second meeting."
