We turn startup signals into investment timing.
dotKot is an intelligence layer for private markets — it tracks how startups actually move and surfaces changes in momentum and risk, with the evidence behind every signal.
What dotKot is
A growth-intelligence and investment-navigation layer. We aggregate operational startup data — product, growth, hiring, risk — track it over time, and translate it into an explainable readiness score and clear investor signals.
Why it exists
Most signals reach investors weeks after the event actually happened — in the next update, the next report, the next public filing. By then the moment to act has often passed.
dotKot closes that gap: continuous tracking instead of point-in-time snapshots, so a change in momentum or risk is visible when it matters, not in hindsight.
How it works
Aggregate. Operational data is collected from public and native sources and structured into a single profile per startup.
Track. Performance is monitored continuously, with history and snapshots so trends — not just current values — are visible.
Score. An explainable, criterion-based readiness model — not a black-box composite — shows why a startup sits where it does.
Signal. Movement in momentum, execution and risk becomes observable signals that investors can evaluate in context.
Two sides, one spine
dotKot connects both sides of the table on one data spine.
The same underlying data serves both: investors get an objective lens on the market; founders get a private view of their own progress.
What we believe
Trust is the asset
The real value isn't the data — it's the trust that makes founders tell the truth. Every design choice protects it.
Explainable, not black-box
Every score traces down to criteria, signals and the source behind them. No unexplained verdicts.
Evidence, not opinions
We surface facts and context. The investment decision stays with the investor.
A firewall by design
Founders never see the investor lens on them — only their own progress. Their data, their control.
