A firm scorecard from the VC Agent-Readiness Census — 25 firms, five doors each, checked 2026-11-01. Official site: www.craftventures.com
open_api)Verdict: A filterable, structured portfolio table; everything past research is partner outreach.
Each intent is scored with one door-state, assessed from public official sources on 2026-11-01. Scoring: open_api 4 · partner_gated 2 · aggregator_only 1 · human_only 0 · unverified 0 (flagged).
| Intent | State | Route | Note | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Research | open_api | Official portfolio page | Portfolio page lists investments in a structured table filterable by company name, investor and stage (e.g. led/co-led seed, Series A, growth) with descriptions and exits; fund announcements state the B2B software/SaaS and marketplaces focus and fund sizes. | www.craftventures.com/portfolio checked 2026-11-01 |
| Pitch | human_only | Team / partner outreach | No firm-owned pitch/application portal or form found on the site or sitemap (portfolio, team, founders, blog, exec-network); the documented route is reaching individual team members, whose LinkedIn links are published on the team page. | www.craftventures.com/team checked 2026-11-01 |
| Diligence | human_only | — | Craft Insights publishes operator playbooks and metric frameworks (e.g. the Burn Multiple) but no structured diligence checklist, template, required-metrics list or data-room guidance for applicants was found. | www.craftventures.com/blog/craft-insights checked 2026-11-01 |
| Schedule | human_only | — | No public self-serve booking for founder office hours, events or intro calls found; the Executive Network/CISO and CxO councils on the team page support the existing portfolio, not prospective founders. | www.craftventures.com/team checked 2026-11-01 |
| Track | unverified NOT A VERIFIED ZERO | — | No applicant portal, dashboard, status page or response SLA is publicly documented, and no application portal exists from which to infer one. | www.craftventures.com/portfolio checked 2026-11-01 |
Unverified means the state could not be established from public documentation — for most firms that is the track door, where firms rarely publish post-submission mechanics. It is reported as a documentation gap, not as proof that no door exists, and it is never presented as a verified closed door.
