ONGOING SCREENING DESK

Ongoing Screening Capacity for Active Investors

Ongoing Screening Desk extends the DueCap screening process across a recurring flow of startup opportunities.


We provide the agreed-upon review capacity each month, using Rapid Triage for early screening and Investment Screening Briefs for opportunities that warrant deeper attention.

When Ongoing Screening Desk Makes Sense

This service is designed for investors who receive startup opportunities regularly.

Regular deal flow

You receive startup opportunities throughout the month and need each one to pass through a clear first-review process.

Too much time

Reviewing pitch decks, organizing information, and identifying missing details takes time away from founder conversations and investment decisions.

No full-time analyst

You need additional screening capacity but are not ready to hire, train, and manage a permanent internal analyst.

Different levels of review

Some opportunities require only a fast first assessment. Others justify a more complete Investment Screening Brief.

If you need help with only one opportunity, start with Rapid Triage or an Investment Screening Brief.

What's Included

A flexible engagement built around your deal flow and investment process.

Agreed Screening Capacity

A defined monthly review capacity level based on your normal deal flow and screening needs.

Capacity, expected turnaround, and the likely mix of outputs are agreed before the engagement begins.

Rapid Triage

Focused first-pass reviews that identify the company’s central claims, immediate concerns, missing information, and the appropriate next step.

Rapid Triage helps determine whether an opportunity should move forward, require more information, or receive a deeper review.

Investment Screening Briefs

Structured reviews for opportunities that warrant serious attention before a founder meeting, partner discussion, or deeper diligence.

Each brief organizes the available business and financial information, key signals, unresolved issues, and questions for the founder.

Optioned workflow support may include priority turnaround, a basic screening tracker, and periodic pipeline reviews.

How the Engagement Works

Align the process

We discuss your investment focus, typical opportunity flow, current screening process, expected volume, and preferred outputs.


Run a limited pilot

DueCap reviews an agreed set of startup opportunities so both sides can test the workflow, quality, communication, and turnaround.

Run a limited Establish ongoing capacity

If the pilot works, the engagement moves to an agreed monthly screening capacity.

Review and adjust

The mix of Rapid Triage and Investment Screening Briefs can change as your pipeline, priorities, and investment activity change.
