INSIDE STRATO

From declared to observed.

Every Strato screen answers a question someone has to decide on. Pick yours.

DeclaredWhat the startup says: questionnaire, interview, pitch.
ObservedWhat the operation records: connected accounts, read-only.
DecisionWhat changes for you: risk, allocation, next step.

Where do you want to start?

See portfolio risk

Know before the board does.

Portfolio management

12 startups. Which one concentrates your risk?

Your whole portfolio in one read, with the risk named.

Less hidden riskBetter capital allocation

So how do you actually do that?

Every portfolio company feeds Strato through three channels: what it declares (questionnaire, interview and pitch), what its systems record (cloud, payments and finance, always read-only) and what changed since the last cycle. From that we compute technical maturity, financial health and risk for each company.
The Capital decision screen rolls it all up to the portfolio: how much MRR sits with whom, the weighted runway, who is at cash risk and how many companies have observed data, not just declared. Every number shows where it came from.
When a company hasn't connected a source yet, the screen says "not measured" instead of estimating. The result is a per-startup recommendation, technical, financial and risk, plus a queue of what is waiting on your decision.

Alerts

Do you find out at the board meeting? Or before?

What changed in your portfolio, before it becomes a crisis.

Less hidden riskFaster decisions

So how do you actually do that?

Strato compares each cycle with the previous one, startup by startup. When an indicator crosses a critical threshold, such as burn multiple, runway, churn, revenue concentration, security or performance, it becomes an alert with three facts: which company, which number and where it came from, declared or observed.
Alerts are ranked by severity and startups by cash runway, so you see first who has the least time. No alert comes from a hunch: each one has a fixed rule and a number behind it, and the same number shows on the company's dashboard.
Frequency follows each startup's connected sources: the more connected, the earlier the signal. You walk into the board meeting knowing what changed, instead of finding out there.

Place the next check

Capital where it compounds, not where it patches.

Benchmark

Where should your portfolio's next dollar go?

Your startups side by side, on the same yardstick.

Better capital allocationLess hidden risk

So how do you actually do that?

Benchmark puts your portfolio companies side by side on the same yardstick. Each company gets two coordinates: the Strato score, which sums up technical and financial maturity, and momentum, the direction it moves between cycles.
That places it in a quadrant of the allocation matrix: increase exposure, watch closely or restructure. The heat map shows, dimension by dimension, where each company is strong or fragile, and technical debt is converted into engineer-weeks and currency, a unit your committee understands.
The executive summary at the top is written from those numbers and only from them: if a number isn't on the screen, the sentence doesn't exist. The decision stays yours.
Benchmark shows where the next dollar compounds and where it only patches a hole.

Decide on evidence

An opinion ready for the committee.

AI substance In development

Every 2026 pitch says “we do AI”. How much of it shows up in the operation?

Where the startup's AI stands, on evidence.

Less hidden riskFaster decisions

So how do you actually do that?

Every startup declares how it uses AI. Strato compares that claim with what shows up in the operation.
We answer three questions, always with evidence from the company's own account: does it train its own model? Does it use a third-party model? Has it built its own layer on top? Each answer shows the signal behind it and whether it was observed or only declared. That places the startup in a band: real AI, assisted AI, wrapper or AI-washing.
The screen also shows what could not be observed, such as spend outside the connected account. There is no score or percentage: it is an indication to guide diligence, not a verdict. The module is in development. The extremes are already clearly distinguished; the line between assisted and wrapper is still being calibrated against real cases.

Reports

Your committee wants a technical opinion. How long does it take you?

One report per startup and one for the portfolio, committee-ready.

Faster decisionsBetter capital allocation

So how do you actually do that?

The report brings together in one document everything Strato has already computed about the startup: an executive summary with a one-line verdict, technology readiness level, analysis by pillar (security, performance, cost and business), declared vs. observed, attention points and an action plan. It is assembled from the latest cycle's data, not written from scratch: every statement carries its source and no number is estimated to fill a gap.
It comes in English or Portuguese, as a PDF, ready for the committee. Beyond the per-startup report there is a portfolio report: the portfolio as a whole, priority actions and where to act first.
Instead of a snapshot rushed together before each committee, a document that refreshes every cycle and supports diligence when it happens.

01

Know where I stand

Walk into the meeting knowing.

My diagnosis

Your investor will ask about your architecture. Do you know the answer?

Where your startup stands, pillar by pillar, and why.

Guided technical progressFundraising on evidence

So how do you actually do that?

You answer the questionnaire and the self-interview and, if you choose, connect your accounts read-only. Strato turns that into a 0-to-5 score per pillar (security, performance, cost and business) and into sub-areas showing what is strong and what needs attention.
Every score opens the signals that formed it, one by one, so you know exactly why it is there and what would change it. The yardstick is your stage: a pre-seed startup is not held to a Series B bar. Every cycle you see how each pillar moved, with financial health alongside, on the same dashboard.
You walk into the investor conversation knowing what they will find, and already knowing what to do about it.

Questionnaire & track

One technical snapshot per round? Or a film, a few questions a month?

Assessment in short stages, at your pace.

Faster decisionsGuided technical progress

So how do you actually do that?

Instead of a one-off snapshot, the assessment becomes a film told in short stages. The questionnaire asks objective questions, yes, no or I don't know, and "I don't know" is a valid answer that also tells us something.
The self-interview asks founders to explain in their own words the decisions a form can't capture: how they prioritise the roadmap, how they investigate a cost spike. The stages form a track, one per month.
Each stage goes deeper into what the previous one left open, and half of its questions come from your earlier answers. Everything you answer becomes declared evidence, which Strato checks against what is observed in connected accounts.
At the end of each stage the result goes into the report, with no meeting and no consultant.

Raise on evidence

The data room backs the pitch.

StratoPitch

Your pitch says 71% margin. Does your data agree?

Your pitch, backed by evidence, before the meeting.

Fundraising on evidenceFaster decisions

So how do you actually do that?

StratoPitch reads your pitch and pulls out every verifiable claim: margin, growth, number of customers, suppliers, whatever it is. For each one, Strato looks for evidence in the data you have already provided and in connected accounts, and classifies it: confirmed, partially confirmed or not yet evidenced.
The screen shows side by side what you say and what the operation shows, with the source on each side. At the end comes an objective list of what to fix before the meeting: the number to update, the metric to document, the sentence to rephrase. It is not a judgement of your business.
It gets you ready for the investor to find in the data room exactly what they heard in the pitch, and supports diligence when it comes.

Improve the technology

Less tech debt, more traction.

StratoCoach

A senior architect reviewing your stack. Without hiring one.

What to prioritise, in the right order, with the why.

Guided technical progress

So how do you actually do that?

StratoCoach is a conversation about your stack, grounded in your diagnosis. Every cycle you get a message from the coach with what to prioritise, ranked by risk avoided relative to effort, with the minutes-long items first.
Whenever you need to, you send a question and can attach your startup's data for context. The answer goes after the cause, not the symptom: if the application is slow, it shows where the slowness comes from and what to do, step by step. Every answer is reviewed by a person before it reaches you. The conversation is private: your investor sees that you use the Coach, never the content.
You get a senior architect's read without having to hire one.
