Learns from every deal
Each decision adds context about how your fund actually invests.
Improve thesis understanding, and actively screen for new deals.
Pitch deck screening
Every deck is extracted, researched, and scored against your thesis before your team opens it.
Intake is one click
Forward the deck. DealRiver handles extraction, research, thesis scoring, CRM entry, and the reply, with no forms or manual entry.
Hours back, every day
Triage, research, CRM entry, replies, and post-call notes run on their own, leaving analysts more time for the deals worth pursuing.
One shared Unibox
Every deal email in one place, labeled and organized, so anyone on the team can pick up the thread.
Everything lands in Affinity
Deals, verdicts, replies, and memos are written to the right organization and mapped to your fields and stages.
Forward inbound deals, it's that easy.
Optimized to plug into your existing workflows. When a deal arrives, simply forward it to start the screening process.
Deck arrives in your inbox
Forward the email, or upload the document directly to the platform. That's all you need to do.

The analyst math.
Every inbound company requires the same sequence of small tasks: open the materials, research the business, form a view, record the deal, and respond. None takes long by itself. At volume, the work compounds.
| Work | By hand | With DealRiver |
|---|---|---|
| Read the materials, research the company, and form a first view | ~12 min | Completed before review |
| Create the company and populate CRM fields | ~6 min | Synced automatically |
| Draft the response | ~7 min | Approximately 30 sec to approve |
| Convert a call transcript into structured notes | ~20 min | Approximately 1 min to review |

Frequently asked questions.
DealRiver is an AI deal-screening platform built for early-stage healthcare and medtech VCs. It takes an inbound pitch deck, extracts the key data, researches the clinical and regulatory context a generalist tool would miss, scores the opportunity against your investment thesis, and returns a structured company profile with a Pass, Watch, or Intro Call recommendation, typically in about five minutes per deck.
Deal data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and each fund's data is logically isolated so it is never shared across customers or used to train shared models. Access is scoped to your team, and syncing happens over your existing authenticated connections to Affinity and Dropbox rather than by moving files somewhere new.
Beyond the deck itself, DealRiver pulls the context that matters for a healthcare or medtech decision: CPT codes and reimbursement pathways, predicate device history, active and completed clinical trials, and market sizing with competitive context.
Every deck is scored against your fund's investment thesis, and the recommendation reflects the reasoning behind it, not just a number. The criteria are configurable so recommendations line up with the calls your partners would make.
DealRiver syncs with Affinity and Dropbox. Every screened deck becomes a structured company profile written back to Affinity and stored in Dropbox automatically.
Onboarding starts by connecting your systems and encoding your investment thesis. Most teams are screening live deals within their first week.
DealRiver is a standing pipeline: it ingests inbound decks, extracts and researches them, scores them against your thesis, drafts the reply, and writes the result back to your systems.
The busywork. Your team keeps the judgment and approves every recommendation and reply.
