VERDICT: BUILDBERG SCORE 76/100

Done-For-You Due Diligence & Living Research Memo Service

An AI-powered due diligence service that delivers fast, structured investment memos and continuously updated living research reports for investors, acquirers, and executives.

01 THE IDEA

This service uses the auto-research loop to continuously ingest and synthesize filings, product pages, reviews, and news into evolving research memos for sophisticated buyers — VCs, PE firms, corporate development teams, and senior executives. Rather than the one-time, manually produced research report, clients get a living document that updates as new information becomes available.

Monetization works two ways: (1) project-based — charge per deep-dive due diligence brief for a specific company or market; (2) subscription — maintain always-fresh memos on a curated list of companies or sectors for a monthly fee. The latter creates sticky, high-value relationships. Greg himself says he'd pay for this, which is a strong signal. The key differentiation is synthesis quality and reliability — the AI does the reading, but a human editor ensures the output is investor-grade.

03 THE VERDICT

High-value buyers with proven willingness to pay and a clear gap between what AI can produce and what existing expensive services charge. The living memo subscription is a genuinely differentiated product. Low capital to start — begin with 2-3 pilot clients to validate quality and pricing. Greg's personal endorsement ('I'd pay for this') from someone in the target buyer persona is a strong signal to act on.
