2. Sales One-Pager
AI Research Infrastructure Built for Fund CFOs
Centralize data, automate analysis, and produce audit-ready research--without adding headcount.
The Problem
- Analysts spend 10+ hours per company on manual research
- Portfolio updates scattered across spreadsheets and emails
- No single source of truth for investment data
- Diligence quality varies by who does it
The Solution
Eliminate Manual Work
Replace fragmented spreadsheets and siloed research with a unified AI platform that remembers your fund, your models, and your portfolio.
Research You Can Publish
Specialist agents deliver structured, defensible, citation-backed research ready for LP reporting, audits, and IC materials.
Real-Time Portfolio Visibility
Track filings, financials, risk signals, and performance drivers automatically. ADIN surfaces what matters before you ask.
How It Works
- Connect - Integrate models, financials, filings, and portfolio systems
- Deploy - Use AI analysts tuned to your workflows
- Produce - Generate research, memos, and dashboards automatically
3. Email Outbound Sequence
Email 1: Pattern Interrupt
Subject: Quick question about research timeMost CFOs I speak with tell me the same thing: company research still takes hours because filings, PDFs, and updates live everywhere. Before I assume it's the same for your team--are you all still relying on a mix of Excel, email threads, and manual digging?
Email 2: Value Proposition
Subject: Centralizing all your diligence dataWe built ADIN to solve one specific problem: scattered information. The platform pulls SEC filings, PDFs, emails, and internal notes into one clean research workspace. No more hunting across systems.
Would a 15-minute demo be useful?
Email 3: Social Proof
Subject: How [Similar Fund] cut research time by 80%A growth equity fund we work with was spending 10+ hours per company on diligence. After deploying ADIN, that dropped to under 2 hours--with better coverage.
Happy to share what they did differently if helpful.
Email 4: ROI Angle
Subject: 25 hours/week back to your teamQuick math: if your team spends 5 hours per company on research and evaluates 5 companies per week, that's 25 hours. ADIN typically cuts that by 80%.
That's a full-time analyst's worth of capacity--without the headcount.
Worth a conversation?
Email 5: Breakup
Subject: Closing the loopI've reached out a few times about ADIN. If the timing isn't right or this isn't a priority, no worries at all--I'll close out my notes.
If things change, I'm here: [calendar link]
4. LinkedIn Post Series
Post 1: The Problem with Excel-Based Diligence
Institutional investing runs on Excel. That's the problem.
Every PE fund, VC firm, and family office says they have a "proprietary process."
But under the hood?
- Dozens of tabs
- Analyst-built models no one else fully understands
- PDFs scattered across drives
- Notes buried in email threads
- Version control chaos
Excel is powerful. But it was never designed to be a knowledge system.
Modern investing isn't constrained by access to capital. It's constrained by:
- Speed of synthesis
- Depth of diligence
- Institutional memory
Where does your firm's institutional memory actually live today?
Post 2: How AI Changes Institutional Research
AI won't replace institutional investors. But it will replace how research gets done.
The shift isn't "AI vs humans." It's "AI-augmented teams vs teams doing everything manually."
What changes:
- Research that took days happens in minutes
- Every filing, every update, every signal--monitored automatically
- Institutional memory that compounds, not degrades
- Judgment calls on deals
- Relationship-driven sourcing
- Portfolio construction decisions
What's the most time-consuming part of your research process today?
Post 3: Capability Spotlight
We built something we call "specialist agents."
Not a chatbot. Not a search engine. A coordinated system of AI analysts--each trained for a specific dimension of institutional research:
- SEC filing analysis
- Competitive landscape mapping
- Portfolio monitoring
- Investment memo generation
A filing analyst agent knows what matters in a 10-K. A competitive mapping agent knows how to structure a market landscape. A portfolio agent knows what signals to surface.
28 specialists. 200+ tools. One platform.
What research task would you automate first if you could?
Post 4: Behind the Scenes
Building AI for institutional investors is different from building consumer AI.
The bar is higher:
- Outputs must be auditable
- Sources must be traceable
- Results must be reproducible
Not because it was fun. Because institutional investors can't use tools they can't trust.
The hardest part wasn't the AI. It was building for the rigor this industry demands.
What would make you trust an AI tool for investment research?
Post 5: Launch Announcement
Today we're opening ADIN Platform to institutional investors.
What it is: An AI research system built for PE, VC, and family office teams.
What it does:
- Automates company research and SEC analysis
- Monitors portfolios in real-time
- Generates investment memos with citations
- Remembers your fund's context across every conversation
We built this for CFOs and operations teams who are tired of duct-taping workflows together.
If that's you, let's talk: [link]

9. Founder Letter
At ADIN, we built this platform for a simple reason: institutional investors deserve technology that matches the rigor, precision, and accountability of their work.
Over the past decade building governance and research systems at Tribute Labs in Brooklyn, we saw a clear gap: while capital allocators were asked to move faster and process more complexity than ever before, the tools available to them were either consumer-grade AI chatbots or legacy software not built for modern research workflows.
ADIN was created to close that gap.
The problem wasn't that investors lacked information. It's that they lacked infrastructure: a system that could synthesize, monitor, analyze, and remember at scale--without sacrificing reliability or auditability. What passed for "AI in finance" was often just a thin interface over generic models, unable to meet institutional expectations for accuracy, transparency, and repeatability.
So we took a different approach.
ADIN is not a chatbot. It is a coordinated system of specialist AI agents--28 and growing--each trained for a specific dimension of institutional research: manager evaluation, portfolio analytics, technical due diligence, strategy mapping, risk assessment, macro analysis, operational review, and more. These agents draw from a catalog of more than 200 tools and a persistent memory architecture purpose-built for long-horizon, high-context decision-making.
The result is an AI platform that works the way investors work: structured, domain-specific, and tuned for professional standards.
Institutional-grade isn't a marketing phrase for us. It's a design mandate. Every component of ADIN--from how data flows into tools, to how agents reason, to how audit trails are recorded--was built with the same expectations allocators have for any system they rely on: accuracy, explainability, and the ability to reproduce results.
We believe AI should strengthen an investor's process, not obscure it.
Our long-term vision is straightforward: to build the most capable institutional research system in the world--one that compounds in usefulness over time. A system where your agents learn your investment philosophy, understand your portfolio history, and continuously refine their output. A system that integrates seamlessly across teams, workflows, and asset classes. A system that elevates human judgment, rather than attempting to replace it.
ADIN is just the beginning. But the foundation is here: a platform built by people who understand both the responsibility of capital allocation and the transformative potential of AI.
We built ADIN so investors can focus on what matters most: making better decisions, with greater clarity, in a world that isn't getting simpler.
