Built an AI Workflow Tool for Search, Diligence, and Decision Support

Built something initially for our own use at Aslam Capital and now opening it up more broadly. Over the past year, we have been building Vouch, an AI workflow and verification platform designed for real operating and investment work, not just generic chat. The original goal was simple: we wanted better internal infrastructure for sourcing, diligence, research, and decision support. Most tools felt shallow, hard to audit, and not built for serious financial workflows. What came out of that process is a platform that can help teams structure research, verify outputs, organize workflows, and create a more disciplined operating layer around AI usage. It is especially relevant for small funds, searchers, independent sponsors, diligence teams, and operators who want to use AI in a way that is actually useful and defensible. We are also now an OpenAI SMB Channel Partner, which gives us another angle to help firms think through implementation more seriously. Would love to connect with anyone in the Searchfunder community who is: -using AI in sourcing, diligence, or portfolio operations -thinking about how to implement AI across a small team -interested in testing Vouch or giving honest feedback -building something similar and open to comparing notes Happy to share more with anyone interested. - https://oa236.substack.com/p/why-i-built-vouch-before-i-raised
