Deal information is highly confidential
Pitches, valuations and negotiation positions often fall under NDAs. A bot in the call or a US cloud processor is a risk founders and sellers notice.
AI notetaker for private equity and venture capital funds: Keep every pitch, committee and negotiation on record, and off other people’s servers.
Caven records founder meetings, investment committees and deal negotiations without a bot. Your deal flow and your view on it stay confidential, processed in the EU or in your own infrastructure.
We take your data seriously
Your meetings are no one else's business.
Data stays in the EU- No bot joins your call

The challenge
Why generic AI notetakers don’t work for investment teams
Partners see many companies, remember few details
After dozens of founder meetings a week, key numbers and red flags get lost between the call and the CRM.
Committee reasoning disappears
Investment committees decide fast. The arguments for and against a deal are rarely written down well enough to learn from later.
Seamless in the background, with privacy at its core.
Prepare.
Walk into every meeting prepared, with context enriched briefings from your past meetings and connected tools.

How Caven processes your dataNDAs and deal confidentiality
No bot joins the call and recordings are never shared with third parties or used to train AI models.
Market Abuse Regulation (MNPI)
Deals involving listed companies can involve material non-public (inside) information. Running Caven in your own cloud or on-premise keeps those recordings inside your own perimeter.
GDPR
EU processing, a data processing agreement and pseudonymisation of names and identifiers before AI processing.
Investor due diligence
ISO 27001 certification and a clear data processing setup answer the operational due diligence questions your LPs ask.
Caven supports your documentation; it does not replace your own legal or compliance assessment.

Meetings about deals with listed companies can contain inside information (MNPI) under the Market Abuse Regulation. Caven encrypts recordings, never shares them with third parties or uses them to train AI models, and can run in your own cloud account or on-premise so those recordings stay inside your own perimeter. Your own insider lists and wall-crossing procedures still apply.
