Roundly AI

Reading a startup dossier

How to tell what is evidenced from what is asserted.

Last reviewed 2026-09-19

Source labels

Claims carry the source they came from — the company website, the founder's deck, or the founder's own text. A claim with no source behind it says so.

What is not verified

Unless a dossier states a specific verification, nothing on it is independently verified. Roundly shows "no independent verification yet" rather than implying a check that never happened.

Numbers you should ask about

Traction figures and metrics are founder-supplied unless marked otherwise. The open diligence questions panel is there to be used.

Requesting materials

Deck access and introductions are requests. The founder controls the outcome, and you can see where each request stands.
