Kruncher
Kruncher sells private market intelligence to venture capital and private equity firms, multi family offices and secondaries investors. It builds a single, continuously updated record for each company from a fund's documents, emails, data rooms, call transcripts and premium data, resolves contradictions, and scores companies against the fund's own thesis. Specialized agents handle research, screening, diligence, monitoring, outreach, investment committee preparation and portfolio reporting.
It connects to Affinity, DealCloud, Attio and Pipedrive, draws on Preqin and PitchBook, offers a public API and an MCP server for Claude, and prices by module and analysis volume rather than seats. Each customer gets an isolated tenant, data is never used to train models, and the platform can run in the customer's own private cloud on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. Kruncher says it is ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certified.
Named customers include QAI Ventures, which cut memo work from three days to two hours, along with Marvin VC, 1982 Ventures and Blacksheep Ventures. Kruncher lists its address in New York.

Specialized agents build and update company records, score companies against a fund's thesis and handle research, diligence and outreach. Strip out the models and what remains is a document store.
Founder outreach and CRM updates run as automated workflows, alongside agents that score companies and route signals to partners. A review step before outreach goes out, or before a score filters a deal away, isn't described.
Every company profile traces back to its sources, and the platform resolves contradictions between those sources. Accuracy and error rates stay unpublished.
QAI Ventures cut memo work from three days to two hours, and Marvin VC turned five hours of analyst work into five minutes. A third case, an unnamed private equity firm, found 140 targets and closed two bolt ons.
Each customer gets a dedicated, isolated tenant, and documents and anything derived from them are never used to train AI models. For funds whose deal flow is their edge, that pairing is what matters.
Under the privacy policy of March 2, 2025, Kruncher processes customer data on the customer's instructions and has appointed an EU representative. Retention periods aren't given.
ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 are both claimed, backed by third party audits and a trust center on Vanta. Neither report is downloadable from the security page.
GDPR compliance is the only regulatory claim, and it concerns privacy rather than any financial rule or registration.
Thesis scores decide which companies ever reach a partner. Kruncher publishes no test of how those scores treat founders or companies across groups.
A founder scored by the agents can't see or contest the assessment, and Kruncher publishes no guarantee, indemnity or way to correct a wrong report.
Preqin, PitchBook and IQC are named as data sources, and an MCP server connects the platform to Claude. The models behind Kruncher's own agents aren't named.
Public API documentation covers the Affinity, Attio and Pipedrive connections, and DealCloud is named as a fourth CRM.
Funds can run the entire platform inside their own private cloud on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, or take it as SaaS.
Cost is built from modules and analysis volume, paid in credits rather than seats, with a discount for annual terms. Each fund is quoted after a scoping call, and no rate is published.
Buyers span venture capital, private equity and multi family offices, with named customers from Switzerland and Singapore to the United States.
Compared With
Most editorial comparisons pair two vendors the index assesses as direct competitors for the same buyer. Some pair vendors that are adjacent rather than rival, where the useful question is where one ends and the other begins. Each carries a verdict, the buyer conditions that favor each vendor, and a graded side by side.
