For investors

Deal flow that already fits.

Safqos scores every Brief against the criteria you declared and shows the Fit and the Risk signal on the card. You read the Dossier, decide, and connect under a shared NDA. No cold intros, no inbox.

Free during the U.S. beta, iOS first. Safqos is a technology platform, not a broker-dealer, and takes no fees on deals.

Funnel from Gompers, Gornall, Kaplan and Strebulaev, “How Do Venture Capitalists Make Decisions?”, Journal of Financial Economics, 2020 (survey of 885 institutional VCs at 681 firms, Table 6), also summarized by Ilya Strebulaev, Stanford GSB, 2026. Stage splits vary by firm and investment focus. The same survey reports VCs taking an average of 83 days to close a deal (73 days for early-stage firms) and an average of 118 hours of due diligence per deal; Strebulaev reports about 15 hours a week spent sourcing and screening. The stages Safqos is built to compress are the early ones: scoring every deal against your declared criteria and itemizing its risk before you read it.

Angel Capital Association: “Expect one or two weeks for the pre-screening process. Screening is usually completed within another one to three weeks.” Gompers, Gornall, Kaplan and Strebulaev, 2020 (885 institutional VCs): an average of 118 hours of due diligence per closed deal. Ilya Strebulaev, 2026: about 15 hours a week spent sourcing and screening. Safqos has not launched, so no measured time saving is claimed.

The volume is the cost.

Your criteria, on the record.

Stage, sectors, check size, structure and geography. You set them once in onboarding and edit them any time. Every Brief in your feed is scored against exactly that.

  • Founders and owners declare the same facts on their side.
  • Profiles under 80% complete never reach your Discover.
  • Deal types that don't match are labelled and demoted, never hidden.
Safqos Edit Profile screen for an investor with every section collapsed: Investing profile, Investment criteria, Check size and structures, Involvement and support, Investment history, Links and social, and Pitch materials

Every declared figure in one Dossier.

Tap a Brief and the Dossier opens: the raise, the terms, the business, the team, what's committed, and what sits behind the NDA. Ranked and grouped so the number you care about is found in one glance.

  • Profile completeness is shown, with what's missing.
  • Decline or Interested. Mutual interest forms the connection.

Anonymous until you say otherwise.

Investors can hide their name, photo and links from members they haven't connected with. Founders and owners see your declared criteria and your Fit with them, not your identity, until you choose to connect.

  • Your profile is never on the public internet.
  • Documents opened from a Vault are watermarked to you.

From a time to a call.

Once the shared NDA is accepted, schedule or start now, answer the invite, and agree to recording only if you want it. Then the call runs in the app.

Fit and Risk are reads, not advice.

Fit tells you how closely a founder's or owner's declared criteria line up with yours. The Risk signal, a letter grade from A+ to F, tells you what their submitted data says across financials, operations, documentation, team, valuation, consistency and completeness. Tap it for every factor. Neither tells you whether the business is good, and Safqos does not verify what members declare. That judgement is yours, which is why the Dossier exists.

What Safqos does

  • Scores and ranks Briefs against your declared investment criteria.
  • Gates documents and calls behind a shared NDA.
  • Keeps the thread, the Vault and the Pitch Room in one app.

What Safqos does not do

  • Recommend, endorse or rate any deal.
  • Hold or move money.
  • Verify the figures a member declares.
