A firm scorecard from the VC Agent-Readiness Census — 25 firms, five doors each, checked 2026-11-01. Official site: lsvp.com
open_api)Verdict: Structured portfolio/team pages and a genuinely published Launch Checklist — but no pitch door of any kind.
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 | lsvp.com portfolio and team-member pages | Official site publishes structured portfolio company pages (stage invested, backed since, status, team) and team-member pages by geography/function, from which sectors (enterprise, consumer, health, fintech), stages (seed to Series F per official descriptions in search results) and partners can be assembled; no machine-readable index such as llms.txt is offered | lsvp.com/team-member/gaurav-punia/ checked 2026-11-01 |
| Pitch | human_only | Direct partner/team outreach via lsvp.com team pages | No firm-owned pitch portal, application form or deck submission route found on official sources; the documented route is reaching individual partners/team members, i.e. relationship-led outreach | lsvp.com/team-member/gaurav-punia/ checked 2026-11-01 |
| Diligence | open_api | Lightspeed Lighthouse Launch Checklist (lighthouse.lsvp.com) | Publishes a structured Launch Checklist an agent can prepare against (Product & GTM, Founder Development, Recruiting, Operations, HR, incl. company setup checklist, operating model, board framework); it is a company-building checklist rather than a pre-investment diligence/data-room specification, and full resources require submitting name/company/email or logging in | lighthouse.lsvp.com/launch-checklist checked 2026-11-01 |
| Schedule | human_only | Direct partner/team outreach via lsvp.com team pages | No public self-serve booking for office hours, intro calls or meetings found on official sources; meetings appear to be partner-led only | lsvp.com/team-member/gaurav-punia/ checked 2026-11-01 |
| Track | unverified NOT A VERIFIED ZERO | — | No pitch/application portal and no documented applicant status, dashboard or update mechanism found in official sources; state cannot be established from public evidence | lsvp.com/team-member/gaurav-punia/ 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.
