For VC Investors

For VC investors who map markets and make deals at the whiteboard.

BoardSnap is an iOS app that turns whiteboard photos into structured summaries and action plans in ten seconds. For VC investors, that means deal analysis sessions, portfolio strategy reviews, market mapping discussions, and thesis development boards produce clean written artifacts — the raw material for investment memos, partner meeting prep, and portfolio decisions.

What hurts today

  • Deal analysis sessions where you're working through the market size, the competitive dynamics, and the team assessment produce rich whiteboard content that needs to be restructured into a clean investment memo
  • Market mapping sessions — who plays where, what the white space is, how your portfolio is positioned — are the strategic boards that most need systematic documentation
  • Portfolio review sessions with the full partnership produce strategy decisions about specific companies that evaporate without a clean written record
  • Thesis development discussions — what the next big wave is, what the investment thesis for a new vertical should be — happen at a whiteboard and should produce a written thesis document
  • Due diligence summary sessions where you're synthesizing findings across work streams need a structured written artifact before the investment committee
  • Partner meeting prep — structuring the deal presentation, anticipating questions, agreeing on the recommendation — benefits from a clean written outline from the board session

How BoardSnap helps

  • Snap a deal analysis session and get a structured written summary — market dynamics, competitive positioning, team assessment, key risks — the first draft of the investment memo
  • Market mapping boards produce a structured competitive landscape analysis — who's where, what the white space is, how your portfolio is positioned relative to the opportunity
  • Portfolio review boards produce a structured portfolio health summary — which companies are performing, which need attention, what the strategic decisions are for each
  • Thesis development sessions produce a written investment thesis draft — the opportunity, the market timing, the expected winner profile — ready for partnership discussion
  • Brand-aware AI writes investment summaries in your fund's analytical language — your sector vocabulary, your investment framework, your portfolio company naming
  • Due diligence synthesis sessions produce a structured finding summary — the investment case, the risks, the mitigations — the source for the IC memo

Features that matter for vc investors

Market map reading

BoardSnap AI reads competitive positioning maps, portfolio landscape diagrams, and market segmentation boards. It produces structured written descriptions of the competitive dynamics — the analytical narrative behind the two-by-two.

Brand-aware AI

Paste your fund's thesis documents, your sector coverage notes, or your portfolio company pages. BoardSnap AI learns your investment vocabulary, your sector framing, and your analytical approach — summaries read like they were written by a partner at your fund.

Projects per deal or sector

Each deal process or sector coverage area gets its own project. Deal analysis boards, due diligence sessions, and market mapping boards all scoped per investment thesis — the full analytical history is searchable.

Pinned context

Pin the fund's investment thesis, the sector overview, or the company's pitch deck. Every board session already knows the deal context — the AI chat gives grounded answers within the investment thesis frame.

Investor meetings happen everywhere — company offices, airports, conference rooms. BoardSnap queues the capture on-device and processes when signal returns. The deal analysis doesn't wait for a WiFi connection.
