Conviction doesn't just happen. It's built.

That's why we're building Spine.

You don’t wake up with a thesis. You build it, piece by piece, over time.

A datapoint here. A question there. A conversation you keep thinking about.
Real investing is pattern recognition, but the patterns rarely announce themselves. You carry fragments around long before they connect. You revisit ideas that didn’t land the first time. You follow signals that don’t yet have a name.

That’s research. Not in the formal sense, but the quiet, deliberate work of staying close to a space until something sharp emerges.

Spine is built for that kind of thinking. It helps you track early threads, sketch half-formed ideas, revisit them weeks later, and go deeper when it’s time. The AI handles scale, sourcing data, scanning, comparing, summarizing, while you stay in the loop.

You decide what matters, where to double down, and how your own understanding evolves.
This is research as a process. Iterative, directional, human.

 Spine keeps it intact. And makes it faster.

How investors use Spine

Most tools treat deep research like a one-off input.



Spine gives you a system that evolves with your thinking, so you can make higher-conviction calls.

Track markets before they harden into categories

Emerging sectors rarely arrive with clean boundaries. You see early activity, a few scattered teams, some reused language. Spine helps you watch it unfold, across companies, narratives, funding, and product direction, and return to it when timing aligns.

Hold context across cycles

Research doesn’t expire. You’ve done the work: notes from past calls, investor updates, timelines of key hires and feature launches. Spine keeps it all connected. So when something resurfaces months later, you’re not rebuilding your view from memory.

Diligence that starts from what you already know

When a company moves to second meeting or partner pitch, you don’t want a blank page. Spine brings everything you’ve already seen, saved material, AI-augmented context, internal notes, or haven’t (external content) into one space.

Write with clarity and proof

Every investment decision needs to be explained, internally or out loud. Spine helps you move from layered research to structured outputs: category briefs, internal memos, market maps. Not summaries. Not impressions. Arguments, grounded and sourced.

LLMs

LLMs

Output-focused. Trained to give answers fast.

Treats research as a closed loop, a question with a single path. You get something polished, but often thin.

The reasoning is hidden. The process can’t be shaped.

Fine for a first pass, risky for thinking.

Spine AI

Spine AI

Process-aware. Built for iteration.

You set the direction. The AI handles scale, recall, and structure, but you stay in control of where to look, what to keep, and what to ignore.

The reasoning is visible. The trail is yours.

Not a replacement for judgment. A tool that strengthens it.

Your thinking,
but multiplayer

Spine gives your team shared context.

Build conviction and find your team's alpha now.
