How We Select Startups: The DeepView Process
At D-Day, we focus exclusively on high-quality, AI-driven startups with real-world potential. To ensure every startup meets our standards for technical credibility, market opportunity, and investment potential, we use our proprietary DeepView vetting process.
DeepView at a Glance:
Initial Screening Quick review of the startup’s core AI idea, market size, and founder background. "Does this solve a meaningful problem?"
AI Technology & IP Check We verify technical feasibility, originality, AI model performance, data quality, and intellectual property ownership. "Is the AI technology robust, original, and defensible?"
Market & Competitive Analysis Thorough assessment of total market opportunity, growth potential, competitive landscape, and scalability. "Can this startup realistically dominate or significantly disrupt its market?"
Founder & Team Vetting Evaluation of the founders’ vision, past execution record, leadership qualities, and commitment to the project’s success. "Does the team have the talent, track record, and grit to succeed?"
Business Model & Investment Potential Review of the startup’s revenue strategy, commercial roadmap, profit margins, financial health, and exit opportunities. "Is there a clear, viable path to generating returns for investors?"
Final Committee Approval A streamlined internal vote ensures all criteria are confidently met.
