| Company | Sector | Growth | Burn | Signal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
LH Lumina Health | Healthcare AI | 142% | 1.2x | Invest |
NC NeonCloud | Developer Tools | 180% | 0.9x | Invest |
VL Vaultline | Fintech | 210% | 1.8x | Invest |
SR Spectra Robotics | Industrial | 85% | 2.4x | Monitor |
CE ClearPath Energy | Climate Tech | 65% | 3.1x | Monitor |
NeonCloud's 0.9x burn multiple at 180% growth is top-decile efficiency. Hybrid transactional-analytical positioning may prove more durable than pure vector DB plays.
ClearPath Energy runway at 9 months. CTO departure may delay roadmap 3–6 months.
The Problem
The Static Intelligence Gap
Investment decisions are made using fragmented data, generic analysis, and inconsistent internal reasoning. The result is slow, biased, and unrepeatable decision-making.
Biased external research
Sell-side analysis, consulting reports, and industry research are commercially conflicted, consensus-driven, and structurally biased toward optimism. They reinforce narratives rather than challenge them.
Generic AI fails buy-side
Off-the-shelf AI tools have no access to your firm's proprietary context — your heuristics, pattern recognition, deal-breakers, or conviction thresholds. They produce plausible-sounding but undifferentiated output.
Stale, consensus-driven workflows
Research workflows rely on static reports, delayed data, and manual aggregation across disconnected tools. By the time analysis is complete, the signal has already been priced in.
Architecture
Four layers. One intelligence system.
Starlit is built as a vertically integrated platform — from raw data ingestion to structured investment output.
Data Store
Aggregates structured and unstructured data across market providers (Bloomberg, FactSet), private market platforms (PitchBook, Preqin, CB Insights), alternative data sources, news feeds, and your firm's internal data.
Multi-source, continuously updated
Data Ingestion
Normalizes heterogeneous inputs — APIs, PDFs, filings, news articles, internal notes — into a unified data model. Handles both real-time streaming and batch processing with source-level confidence scoring.
Structured + unstructured, real-time
Analysis Layer
Encodes your firm's investment logic (Firm Brain) and combines it with AI models to generate first-, second-, and third-order insights. Applies your heuristics, thresholds, and conviction requirements consistently.
Firm Brain + AI synthesis
Dashboard Layer
Surfaces outputs through company-level dashboards, portfolio views, risk monitors, and opportunity rankings. Every insight is traceable to its data source and reasoning chain.
Auditable, structured output

Accuracy of a senior analyst. Speed of a supercomputer.
Starlit doesn't replace your investment team. It gives every member the full context of your firm's best thinking — applied instantly, consistently, and at scale.
Firm Memory
Your investment logic — sectors, thresholds, pattern recognition, deal-breakers — encoded and consistently applied across every analysis. The system thinks like your partners.
Live Data Fabric
Continuously ingested, normalized data from premium sources. Market data, alternative signals, filings, news, and internal notes — always current, always structured.
Objective Reasoning
AI synthesis that separates signal from noise. Generates variant perspectives, identifies second-order effects, and produces reasoning chains you can audit and challenge.
Portfolio Intelligence
Continuous monitoring across your entire portfolio. Risk detection, opportunity surfacing, and performance tracking — not periodic reviews, but persistent awareness.
