Gatekeep is where founders pitch AI personas of real investors, and those investors receive a scored report on every pitch. It solves the 'one-shot problem' in fundraising by letting founders practice against AI versions of real VCs, get scored across twelve dimensions, and — if they pass — have their report sent directly to the real investor whose persona they pitched. This creates a first screen that runs without the investor lifting a finger, and builds a proprietary dataset of pitch-to-outcome data that cannot be scraped.

A platform where founders pitch AI personas of real investors in a timed, thirty-minute session where the AI pushes back on numbers and follows up on weak spots. Founders receive a scored report across twelve dimensions (e.g., traction, team, market, moat) explaining exactly where they'd have lost the room. If a founder passes the score threshold, the report is automatically sent to the real investor behind the persona, turning practice into a genuine first screen. The platform also lets investors write and claim personas based on their own investment thesis, post briefs describing what they're looking for, and access a growing dataset of founder pitch performance that cannot be found anywhere else — since it only exists within Gatekeep's own pitch room.
