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.
