BoardSnap is an iOS app that captures the whiteboard thinking VC firms do — deal evaluation, investment thesis development, portfolio strategy sessions, and market mapping — and turns it into structured written output before the next deal arrives.
Venture capital is an information-dense, decision-intensive practice. Deal partners evaluate companies across market size, team quality, product differentiation, competitive dynamics, and timing — simultaneously. That multi-dimensional analysis gets mapped on whiteboards during IC prep sessions, deal partner reviews, and market deep-dives. The whiteboard is where the conviction gets built — and where it most often lives and dies without adequate documentation.
BoardSnap preserves the analytical work that produces investment conviction. Snap the market map, the competitive positioning diagram, the business model analysis, the IC presentation outline. BoardSnap AI reads the structure — the categories, the assessments, the risk/reward framing — and returns a written summary that becomes the memo skeleton, the IC brief, or the deal team's shared view before the pitch.
For firms with multiple partners covering different sectors, Projects keep each investment thesis and active deal in its own silo. The fintech thesis doesn't mix with the climate tech thesis. Each deal has its own board history — from first look to IC presentation.
Map the sector on the board: market structure, key players, white space, emerging trends, winner-takes-all vs. fragmented dynamics. Snap it. The structured summary becomes the sector memo starting point — built from the team's collective analysis, not one analyst's notes.
Walk through the deal on the board: team assessment, market size, product differentiation, traction, competitive moat, risk factors, deal terms. Snap it. The summary is the IC memo skeleton — ready to fill out before the IC meeting, not after.
Build the investment thesis on the board: thesis statement, underlying insights, target company profile, expected catalysts, time horizon. Snap each iteration. Projects document how the thesis evolved — useful for LP reporting and for disciplining future deal evaluation.
Review a portfolio company's performance on the board: metrics against plan, strategic pivot assessment, follow-on decision framework, support needed. Snap it. The summary becomes the board meeting prep or portfolio review memo.
Map the LP meeting narrative on the board: fund thesis, portfolio performance, key wins and losses, pipeline, strategy going forward. Snap it. The structured output becomes the LP presentation skeleton your team refines.
The VisionKit scan runs on-device. AI summarization sends content to BoardSnap's API over TLS. Most deal analysis whiteboarding doesn't involve specific financial data or NDA-protected technical details at the whiteboard level — it involves analytical frameworks and qualitative assessments. Apply the same judgment you'd use with any cloud tool for the specific content on the board.
Build the thesis map on the board — target company profile, screening criteria, key signals to watch for. Snap it and pin it in the project. Every subsequent deal board in that project is evaluated against the pinned thesis. Conviction stays disciplined over time.
Yes. Associates sketch their deal analysis on the board — market, team, product, financials, risks — snap it, and use the structured summary to prepare for the partner review. The summary is also a useful pre-read for partners who want context before the meeting.
Projects. Active deals get one project. Portfolio reviews get another. Each company can have its own project if the volume warrants it — the history builds over the life of the investment.
Free: one project, 30 boards. Pro: $9.99/month or $69.99/year for unlimited projects, boards, and AI chat — right for partners and associates who run multiple deal evaluations in parallel.
