Venture capital
Map every company in a market and test its technical claims.
Antinuous maps every company in a sector and checks technical claims against the published papers. It drafts the bear case for your memo and tracks portfolio companies between board meetings.
Use cases
Check the science behind a deep-tech company
Technical claims are hard for generalist investors to test, and expert calls are slow to schedule.
You ask

What it does
- Finds the founders' papers and the work they cite, and reads them in full.
- Searches science databases for related studies and flags retracted papers.
- Re-runs public analyses as code in the workspace where the data is available.
