NODE · Venture scout

Your deal-flow partner. It goes where the founders are.

Take NODE to demo days, conferences and your own events. It meets founders on the floor, hears the pitch, tests it against your thesis and sends your partners a ranked shortlist before the day is out. Between events, it keeps sourcing against the same thesis.

How it works

Speak. Understand. Respond.

NODE is the body. Phronel is the mind. Your mandate is the logic it reasons inside.

01
SpeakAsk NODE about a company, its readiness or its risks, in plain language, in the room.
02
UnderstandThe request reaches Phronel with your mandate, your decision history and permissioned Caplia company records.
03
RespondPhronel returns an evidence-led answer. NODE speaks it, and every source appears on screen.
Your decision logic, embedded

It thinks the way your fund thinks.

NODE doesn't bring a generic opinion. During onboarding we encode how your partnership decides: the sectors and stages you back, the cheques you write, the exposure you allow, the exclusions you hold and the exceptions only your partners know. Then it reasons inside those lines, and shows its working.

Private by design

Everything NODE knows stays in the building.

NODE runs Phronel on hardware inside your office, so 100% of your private data, your mandate and your decision history are stored and processed on your premises. Nothing on it changes without your approval.
