Hoopit helps investment teams turn their network, deal flow and investment criteria into action: finding the right opportunities, identifying the right people to engage, and moving investments forward faster.
It learns how your team evaluates opportunities, and operates within the investment criteria and boundaries you define.
01Why we built Hoopit
AI for how investment decisions actually get made.
Investing isn't just about finding information. It depends on judgment, relationships, mandates and timing. Hoopit brings these together, helping investment professionals identify the right opportunities, activate the right relationships and move from opportunity to decision faster.
Judgment
01Every team screens differently. A generic ranking can't tell a fit from a distraction; your criteria can.

02The deciding call is often a weak tie in a colleague's inbox. Access matters more than one more name on the list.
Mandates
03Ticket size, stage, sector, what may be disclosed: hard limits, not scores an attractive narrative can talk past.
Timing
04Who to approach, when, and through whom. The same ask lands or dies on sequence.
02See how Hoopit works
Connect your data.
Build collective knowledge.
Ask who can help.
The right expert is often a weak tie. Hoopit turns your team's combined sources into one private, collective knowledge base, and returns the trusted path: who to reach, why, and through whom.
Every member's sources feed one private workspace.
Inbox, calendar, LinkedIn and files connect in minutes — for you and every teammate. Hoopit merges duplicates and keeps the workspace in sync.
03Across the deal cycle
Every opportunity starts with the right people.
Ask as you would ask a partner. Hoopit answers from your team's own relationships, and every match comes with the reason and the route.

04Hoopit vs. a general AI agent
A general agent can build you an investor list. Hoopit moves the deal forward.
Well-configured AI agents already research, rank and draft. But any agent you put on top of your team's silos inherits them. Hoopit is the system around the intelligence: your firm's real relationships, controlled deal work, and a path to agreement between parties who each keep their own authority.
A suggested investor is a hypothesis.
A permitted introduction is an action.
An accepted agreement is a shared state.
Hoopit's job is to close the gaps between them.
Research and rank
General AI agent
Strong. Researches a market, scores a list against a thesis and drafts messages.
HoopitAt parity
Built on the same class of models. This is not where we claim an edge.
The whole firm's network
General AI agent
Sees one mailbox or, if IT opens them all, everyone's private history. All or nothing.
HoopitLive
Every partner's relationships pooled in one private workspace. Each shares the path to a person, never their inbox, and can revoke it.
People, not messages
General AI agent
Contacts deduplicated per run from an export.
HoopitLive
One persistent profile per person across every partner's inbox, calendar and LinkedIn: role, firm, seniority, expertise, kept in sync.
Access, not just names
General AI agent
Plausible intermediaries inferred from a contact file.
HoopitLive
Who knows them, through which channel, how recently, at which shared firm, and who bridges. From real interactions, not inferred.
Outreach under control
General AI agent
Drafts. Sending, limits and follow-up are yours to build and maintain.
HoopitComing next
Drafts in each partner's voice today, and nothing leaves without your approval. Next: approve exact recipients and content, hard send limits, opt-outs and follow-up on silence.
One deal, shared
General AI agent
Per-user memory and files.
HoopitComing next
One deal record across colleagues: documents, facts, who changed what, and the next step.
Parties agreeing
General AI agent
Agents that divide one user's task.
HoopitRoadmap
Each party represented under its own mandate, with controlled disclosure and agreement on the same terms before action.
An agent works for one person and sees what that person sees. The introduction that moves a deal usually sits in someone else's network. In Hoopit, each colleague shares the path to a person, never their inbox, and stays in control of it; next, the other side of the deal is represented under its own mandate. That isn't a prompt you can write: it takes everyone's participation and consent. And it's already built, governed and maintained.
Nobody has to log anything.
Hoopit reads the relationships your team already has, and tells you who can open the door, not just who was last contacted.
05Security & control
Relationships are your most sensitive asset. We treat them that way.
Hoopit reads your team's data to answer a question — nothing more. It stays inside your workspace, encrypted and read-only, and what you choose to share is the path to a person, never the private history behind it.

← queryIsolated per workspace
Your network is scoped to your workspace and never mixed with another customer's data.
Encrypted & access-controlled
Source tokens are KMS-encrypted; sessions use JWT, connections use Google/Microsoft OAuth, and internal services are HMAC-signed.
Read-only by design
The agent only reads to answer — a SQL policy blocks any write. It surfaces people; it never sends, books or changes anything without you.
You share the path, not your inbox
Sharing exposes the relationship — who to reach and why — not members' private message histories. Every share is explicit and revocable.

06Where we're going
From opportunity to decision, one layer at a time.
An agent you trust with deal work has to know who can act, under what authority and within what limits. Each layer is the prerequisite for the next, and we're clear about which ones are available today.
