A people-expert engine for a deal team.
Atlas maps the human network behind an investment thesis. Give it a thesis in plain language and it returns a verified map of the founders, advisors, bankers, lawyers, and peer-fund GPs who shape that space, along with the companies they connect to. The site currently covers 16 themes.
What it does
Atlas turns a long, fragmented research process into three motions a deal-team member can complete in minutes.
- Prep for a call. Every expert ships with a structured brief: background, what they care about, sensitivities, three specific questions to ask.
- Send outreach. A drafted subject line and email body sit on every expert page. Edit, copy, send.
- Build a shortlist. Pick experts across themes. Atlas generates a one-page memo with everyone's why-they-matter and the companies that link them.
What's in it
Coverage spans 5 archetypes per theme: founder, advisor, banker, lawyer, peer-fund GP. Companies are derived from the relationships experts actually have, ranked by edge depth.
How it works
A thesis compiles into a research mandate with an archetype budget. Candidates are sourced against that mandate, enriched in parallel against public records, and resolved for duplicate identities across sectors. Companies fall out of the resulting relationship graph rather than a separate search, which is why every company on the site has a person attached to it.
Verification is deterministic and runs after research, on its own evidence. Each cited URL is resolved under rotating client signatures, parsed for structured records and page metadata, matched positionally against the entity it claims to support, and graded on a five-tier evidence ladder. Rotted links resolve against dated archive snapshots before the record behind them is judged.
Results are written to a content-addressed evidence store keyed by source. Re-auditing the full corpus takes about a second, so the audit runs continuously rather than once, and the site can report its own decay instead of ageing quietly.
How it's honest
Every expert and every company resolves to at least one public source that named them at verification time. Records that cannot be grounded that way are dropped rather than fabricated, and where a sector has an archetype gap Atlas reports the gap instead of padding it with low-confidence entries.
What failed is published alongside what passed. The verification page carries the four-way outcome partition for every source link, the evidence grade behind every record, freshness and departure telemetry, and any record that no longer clears the bar, named rather than quietly deleted.
