Paos · Closed beta

Start with who you know. Finish with who you don't.

Paos reads the mandate and ranks your book against it — who fits this raise, who's warm, who said never. When the book runs out, it searches the market for the names you're missing. Nothing sends without you.

Paos starts from a mandate. It ranks the firm's own investor book against that raise, then searches the market for names beyond it. A person approves every change; nothing investor-facing sends itself.

  • 01

    Start from the mandate

    Drop a deck or describe the raise — a fund, a single deal, or an SPV. That mandate is the job — not a row in a CRM.

  • 02

    Rank the book first

    Matching orders the investors you already know against the mandate — who fits, who is warm, who said never. The network is the first move.

  • 03

    Search beyond the book

    When the known names run out, search the market against the mandate. Candidates arrive with sources — even with an empty book.

  • 04

    The pipeline is the scoreboard

    Each investor × raise is a pursuit. Who is identified, out, talking, or in diligence — that is the work.

  • 05

    Report only what happened

    Firm-branded reporting from the live raise. Every figure opens the rows behind it.

04 Who builds it
Portrait of Servando Torres, founder of controlthrive

My approach is built on high agency, deep ownership, and a bias toward tangible outcomes. Responsibility means staying with the work until there is a real result: something shipped, improved, clarified, automated, or made useful. I do not believe in vague promises or work that sounds impressive but never becomes value someone can actually feel.

The best companies are becoming living knowledge bases. Every conversation, transcript, Slack message, decision, and customer interaction becomes part of the shared context that can help the product improve. My job is to capture that context and turn it into useful decisions, workflows, and products that get better over time.
