Stress-test the round before you're in the room with investors.

How can AI support fundraising decisions?

Fundraising decisions are made under time pressure, with significant information asymmetry between founders and investors. The investor has seen hundreds of comparable deals. The founder is typically making this specific decision for the first time, or at most a handful of times.

Veriqo AI's Shadow Board provides a structured, independent analysis of the fundraising decision before it's committed. Run the round terms, valuation assumptions, and key investor conditions through five AI executives and get a structured board memo — consensus score, individual perspective summaries, explicit dissent flags — in under two minutes.

What each executive analyses

The CFO examines valuation assumptions, dilution implications, and financial terms. The Legal executive assesses governance rights, protective provisions, and contractual terms. The Strategy executive evaluates investor alignment, strategic fit, and the implications of the round structure for future fundraising. The Risk executive identifies downside scenarios and the implications of the terms in a downside case. The Research executive grounds the analysis in current market comparables and comparable term sheet benchmarks.

When to run it

Before accepting a term sheet. Before a board vote on a round. Before entering exclusivity with a lead investor. As a pre-negotiation check on whether the proposed terms are within market range.
