Connect Ventures is the venture arm of CAA. Pitch Intelligence is how our partners read every opportunity that crosses our desk — faster, more consistently, and without ever surrendering judgement to a machine.
High-conviction opportunity across every dimension. 142% net revenue retention across eleven institutional clients — including three of the top ten catalog funds — is a rare pattern at this stage.
Every startup pitch that reaches Connect Ventures is read first by the platform — parsed, analysed, and scored on a transparent 1-to-5 scale — and second by one of our partners. The score is a starting point, never a verdict.
When a partner disagrees with the machine — and partners disagree often — the override is captured, the reasoning is recorded, and the signal becomes part of how we calibrate the system for the pitch that arrives tomorrow. No silent learning. No hidden autonomy. Every adjustment is versioned, reviewed, and reversible.
The partner is the final authority. Always.
The founder submits the pitch through our portal. Raw content is preserved for auditability.
The platform extracts a structured profile. Missing fields are flagged, never invented.
Our AI composes a structured memo — strengths, weaknesses, open questions, and confidence.
A 1-to-5 investment score with a six-dimension breakdown and all evidence cited.
A partner reads the memo and the score. They can accept, reject, or override with reasons.
Every override is captured. Weights and prompts are tuned against historical overrides — never silently.
