Terms & Conditions.

Aletheia is a product of BERRIES FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICES (“Aletheia”, “we”, “us”, “our”), registered in India at Flat 16, Malad Satikar CHS Ltd, Near Police Station, Malad West, Mumbai Suburban, Maharashtra — 400064. These terms govern your use of the Aletheia website and all services described below.

Aletheia operates three services:

• Investor Intelligence: angel investors submit pitch decks via our inbound email address. We return a structured verdict — INVEST or PASS — with a signal score, three irreversibles, a thesis lens, and a reasoning paragraph.
• Founder Teardown: founders submit a pitch deck and receive a score, a benchmark against investor expectations, a slide-by-slide improvement plan, and fund matches based on stage and sector.
• Raise Ready: a structured 8-week founder engagement covering signal audit, narrative clarity, investor matching, and term sheet preparation. Delivered via email and written reports. Not a placement service, introduction service, or regulated advisory.

All output — across all three services — is system-assisted analysis or structured advisory content. It is not financial advice, not an investment recommendation, not due diligence, and not a verified factual assessment of any company or its claims.

Aletheia is not registered with SEBI as an Investment Adviser or Research Analyst. Nothing we produce constitutes investment advice under the SEBI (Investment Advisers) Regulations 2013 or any other applicable regulation. Do not make investment decisions based solely on our output. Consult a qualified financial adviser before investing.

By submitting a pitch deck, you confirm that you have the right to share it with a third-party analysis service. You keep ownership of the deck. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to process the deck solely to generate the requested output.

The submitted deck is deleted from our systems within 24 hours of output delivery. We retain only the structured output — score, verdict, irreversibles, reasoning, fund matches. We do not use your submissions to train models. Content sent to Anthropic via the API is subject to their zero-data-retention policy on API traffic.

We do not share your deck, your output, or your identity with any third party, except as required by law.

Raise Ready is a preparation and advisory engagement. It does not include:

• Direct introductions to investors or funds.
• Fundraising brokerage, placement, or deal execution services.
• Legal, tax, or accounting advice.
• Any guarantee of funding outcomes, meetings, or term sheets.

Deliverables are written reports and structured feedback provided over the engagement period. Engagement begins on mutual confirmation of scope and payment receipt.

For investors, we retain the structured verdict (company name, score, verdict, irreversibles, reasoning) for 12 months after delivery to power calibration records. At the outcome checkpoint, we may check publicly available signals (news, LinkedIn, Crunchbase, corporate filings) to update your calibration record. We access only public information. We do not access private company data.

You create an account using your email and a one-time code. You are responsible for keeping your account secure. You may not share your account.

Investors: the free tier provides a limited number of verdicts per calendar month. Paid plans (Angel, Syndicate Lead, Capital OS) provide unlimited verdicts and additional features. Plans are billed monthly or annually and do not auto-renew without your explicit action. When a plan lapses, access returns to free-tier limits.

Founders — Teardown: access is provided via a time-limited pass (Raise Pass or Deep Dive). A pass activates immediately on payment confirmation and is valid for 30 calendar days. Additional Teardown capacity is available as a top-up. Passes do not auto-renew.

Founders — Raise Ready: engagement is priced and scoped on application. Pricing is confirmed in writing before any payment is collected. Payment is due before the engagement begins. See our Refund Policy for refund terms specific to Raise Ready.

You agree not to:

• Submit decks you do not have the right to share with a third-party service.
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, or decompile the service.
• Re-sell or redistribute output as your own original analysis.
• Use the service to build a directly competing product.
• Attempt to circumvent rate limits, quotas, or payment controls.
• Submit false, misleading, or fabricated content to manipulate output.

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”. We are not liable for investment outcomes, fundraising outcomes, fund deployments, or decisions made based on our output. Our total liability for any claim is capped at the amount you paid us in the 30 days preceding the claim, or ₹1,000, whichever is lower.

We use Anthropic (AI model), Convex (database), Resend (email), Razorpay (payments), and Vercel (hosting). Their availability and terms affect ours. We are not liable for outages or errors caused by these providers.

Material changes will be emailed to your registered address with at least 7 days’ notice. Continued use after the notice period constitutes acceptance.

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Mumbai, Maharashtra.
