    Illustrative comparison of a system of record and a Capwave work brief.

    One runs your day. One runs the firm's deal flow.

    THE SHORT VERSION

    Instinct runs your day. Capwave runs the firm's.

    Instinct

    A personal assistant you text or call. It works across one person's apps and accounts: bills, appointments, groceries, travel.

    Capwave

    The firm's memory: every deck, email, meeting and data room, scored against your thesis and turned into intros and follow-through for every seat.

    TOGETHER, COMING SOON

    Capwave knows the work. Instinct gets it done.

    Illustrative example of what Capwave knows.

    Instinct gets the context.

    Through Capwave's MCP server: the deal, the founder, the promise.

    Instinct acts in your day.

    BOTH PROACTIVE, DIFFERENT JOBS

    Instinct watches your day.
    Capwave watches the firm's deal flow.

    Instinct keeps one person's life moving. Capwave spends the night doing the investor work for every seat, and at 7:00 hands each partner only what needs them.

    WHAT CAPWAVE ADDS

    What Capwave does that Instinct doesn't.

    NetworkIQ: runs the next round before the founder asks.

    It spots the portfolio company nearing a raise, finds the investors who asked about the category, and drafts the intro. Instinct knows your contacts. Capwave knows the firm's.

    QUESTIONS

    Questions firms ask.

    Is Capwave like Instinct?

    Both work before you ask. Instinct works for one person's life. Capwave works for the firm: every deal, meeting, relationship and promise, readable by every seat.

    Can I use Capwave from Instinct?

    Coming soon. Instinct will draw on Capwave's context through its MCP server, so it can act on your work: book the founder meeting with the brief attached, keep the promise you made on the call. Today, ask Capwave from Claude or ChatGPT.

    Do I have to choose?

    No. They work hand in hand. Instinct runs your day. Capwave knows the firm's work and, soon, gives Instinct that context.

    What happens to the firm's data?

    It stays the firm's. Siloed by firm, never used for training, export anytime. Nothing goes out without your approval.
