The AI workspace for private-market investors
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.
Why 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
Every team screens differently. A generic ranking can't tell a fit from a distraction; your criteria can.
Relationships
The deciding call is often a weak tie in a colleague's inbox. Access matters more than one more name on the list.
Mandates
Ticket size, stage, sector, what may be disclosed: hard limits, not scores an attractive narrative can talk past.
Timing
Who to approach, when, and through whom. The same ask lands or dies on sequence.
See 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.
01 · Connect data sources
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.
One private team network
Everything your team knows, finally connected.
One shared workspace. Each member connects the data sources they control.

02 · Ask a Hoop
Ask for the outcome — exactly as you would ask a colleague.
A Hoop is a question asked against your team's knowledge. No filters, CRM fields or perfect keywords: describe who you need and why.

Hoopit 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.
Built on the same class of models. This is not where we claim an edge.
Every partner's relationships pooled in one private workspace. Each shares the path to a person, never their inbox, and can revoke it.
One persistent profile per person across every partner's inbox, calendar and LinkedIn: role, firm, seniority, expertise, kept in sync.
Who knows them, through which channel, how recently, at which shared firm, and who bridges. From real interactions, not inferred.
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 record across colleagues: documents, facts, who changed what, and the next step.
Each party represented under its own mandate, with controlled disclosure and agreement on the same terms before action.
Where 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.
The right people
For every opportunity: who fits, why, and the warm path through your team.
Controlled outreach
Deals sent to the right investors in your voice, with exact-send approval, hard limits and follow-through.
The shared deal
One record per opportunity across colleagues, and consent-aware paths through the whole firm.
Agents within your mandate
Over time, Hoopit learns how you decide and takes on more of the work, within the mandate and boundaries you define.
Security & 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.
Isolated 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.
Right to be forgotten
Soft-deletes throughout, and data you disconnect or delete is removed — GDPR-aware by construction.
Built in Europe
Engineered in Switzerland with EPFL, ICoSys and Innosuisse research roots and a privacy-first architecture.
Move from opportunity to decision faster.
Connect your team's sources, ask about your next deal, and get the right people with the reason and the route.
