Aventro vs Affinity for due diligence
For due diligence, pick Aventro: it checks each founder claim against the official register with the match tied to the company, reads every deal against your fund’s versioned mandate, flags contradictions across the deck, accounts and calls, and computes returns with no model in the maths. Affinity is a CRM built around relationships captured from email and calendar, and its venture capital and pricing pages list no register checks, contradiction detection or returns maths.

Side by side
“Aventro only” marks what Affinity’s own pages do not list. Affinity’s column is cited and dated below.
| Question | Aventro | Affinity |
|---|---|---|
| Claims checked against official registersAventro only | AventroEach claim is checked against the official record it should appear in: company registers in Israel, the UK, the US, Norway and Finland, GLEIF, SEC EDGAR and patent offices, 35 published sources in all. A match counts only when something like a registered number ties it to the company; a name match is reported as a lead.1,2 | AffinityNot listed. Affinity’s enrichment comes from its own data, and from PitchBook, Dealroom and Crunchbase on the Advanced plan.3,4 |
| Contradictions across deck, documents and callsAventro only | AventroEvery document is read as it arrives. When the deck, the accounts and a call disagree on a figure, each reading is shown side by side with a question you can send the company, and a figure said on a call is compared too.5 | AffinityNot listed on the pages cited.3,4 |
| Returns on your chequeAventro only | AventroYour ownership, diluted round by round to exit, across five scenarios from failure to a home run, computed with no model call and with every base rate cited beside the number it produced.6 | AffinityNot listed on the pages cited.3,4 |
| The company answers on the same recordAventro only | AventroGaps go to the company as requests it answers in its own workspace, on the same record. Aventro reads each answer against what was asked, and a company never accepts its own answer.5 | AffinityNot listed. Affinity captures your own firm’s email and calendar activity.3 |
| Your mandate on every dealAventro goes further | AventroFund Fit reads every deal against your Fund DNA, criterion by criterion, met or missed. Exclusions are gates rather than deductions, and every score names the Fund DNA version it was judged on.7,8 | AffinityFlags where the pipeline is thin against your thesis, and Industry Insights on the Advanced plan matches sourcing to it. Scoring each deal against your mandate, criterion by criterion, is not listed.3,4 |
| After the decisionAventro goes further | AventroAfter the decision, the record is compared every day with what the decision was made on (the figure then, the figure now), the public registers are checked again, and serious changes send a notice.9 | AffinityShows which founders have gone quiet, surfaces follow-on signals and assembles board prep. Comparing each company with what the decision was made on is not listed.3 |
| Model calls and your dataAventro goes further | AventroEvery AI model call runs with zero data retention at the provider, evidence is encrypted with AES-256-GCM under per-deal keys, and access is per deal and per person.10,11 | AffinityCustom data retention on the Enterprise plan. Zero data retention at the model provider is not listed.4 |
| Memo and decision recordBoth | AventroThe memo follows your fund’s own template and is filled from what the deal holds; a fact it does not hold shows as missing. A person records the decision, with their reasons.12 | AffinityDrafts the memo from your notes and diligence, and logs every decision with its reasoning.3 |
| What it is | AventroThe AI due diligence and deal flow workspace a venture fund makes its investment decisions in.13 | AffinityIn its own words, “the AI-first private capital CRM”.3 |
| Pricing | AventroOne annual contract for the whole team, quoted on seats and deal volume after a free demo on one live deal of yours.14,15 | AffinityPublished per user per year: Essential $2,000, Scale $2,300, Advanced $2,700. Enterprise is custom.4 |

The smaller things a fund uses every day. None of them is listed on Affinity’s pages cited3,4.
Forty decks, one ranked table
Drop up to forty decks and get them back ranked by Fund Fit, screened from the deck and the public registers before any founder knows you are looking.16
Positions before the vote
Each partner records a position before seeing anyone else’s. The count is visible to everyone; the content is not, until you have answered.12
What-If on the score
Model a hire, a raise or a resolved flag and the affected modules recompute with your weights, labelled as a projection.17
Health and fintech checks built in
A health company is checked against the FDA’s device records, EUDAMED and the trial registries for the route it states. A fintech is asked about its licences, its partner bank and credit losses.1,5
Assumptions you can watch
Each assumption a decision rested on shows whether it still holds, with what would prove it wrong.9,18
A reason to look again
Write the condition when you reject a deal. Memory checks a figure, an event or a date against what your fund holds now, and shows a judgment to you.19
Does your screen predict your calls?
Memory compares the Fund Fit of the deals you invested in with the ones you rejected, and tells you how well the score separates them.19
Reports shared your way
Share a report by link with a password, an expiry date and the sections you choose, or invite named people. The PDF is rendered from the same page.20
Fund economics stay with the fund
The fund’s copy carries its fund size, its cheque and the exit that returns the fund. The company’s copy, and any shared copy, is built without them.20
One Work queue
Contradictions to settle, gaps to fill and requests waiting on the company, in one queue.5
The company’s whole team on one record
More than one person from the company can work on the record and answer your requests.21
When to pick Aventro
The longer list is the diligence. The shorter one is honest.
Pick Aventro when
- A claim has to hold up at your investment committee, so it needs the official register record and the identifier that ties it to the company, not a web page or a matching name.1,22
- Your data room holds a deck, management accounts and call transcripts that should agree, and you want to know the moment they don’t, with the question for the company already drafted.5
- You want the returns on your own cheque done by code, with every base rate cited beside the number, not estimated by a model.6
- You want gaps sent to the company and answered on the same record, with each answer read against what was asked, not chased by email.5
- You want your mandate applied to every deal the same way, criterion by criterion, with exclusions as gates and the Fund DNA version named on the score.7,8
- You want each company watched against what you decided on after the money goes in: the figure then beside the figure now, and the registers checked again.9
- You want to see it on a company you already know before any quote: bring one live deal to a free demo and see which claims get flagged that your team had not reached yet.15
When Affinity is enough
- Your work is relationships and pipeline (who knows a founder, warm intros, activity captured from email and calendar), not diligence on the company itself.3
Questions
We already use Affinity. Why add Aventro?
Affinity keeps the relationships and the pipeline. Aventro does the diligence its pages do not describe: each claim checked against the official register with the match tied to the company, contradictions across documents and calls, returns computed with no model, and the company answering your requests on the same record.
Is Aventro a CRM?
Aventro has a pipeline: decks reach it from your fund’s own email address, by upload or shared by the founder, and each company moves from New to Screening, Diligence and Decision. Its records are companies and the evidence behind them, from the first look to the decision and after.
Can we bring our existing pipeline and past decisions?
Yes. Bring your pipeline in from a spreadsheet, and your past decisions into Memory from a spreadsheet or from documents. Aventro reads them into a draft, you check how the columns map, and nothing is saved until you confirm.
Does Aventro make the investment decision?
No. Aventro screens, checks and drafts. A person on your team records the decision, with their own reasons, and Aventro does not give investment advice.
Bring one live deal
Free, on one of your own deals. See it on a company you already know, before any quote.
- A live deal screened against your own Fund DNA
- Which claims we flagged that your team had not reached yet
- How claims get checked against official registers and public filings
- Your own IC memo template, filled from the deal
- What pricing looks like for your seats and deal volume
