How Kosa Works

Setup is an OAuth connection to your firm's Gmail, not an implementation project. Kosa requests read access to your firm's communication and calendar, and it works alongside whatever tools you already run rather than demanding a migration.

There is nothing to import and no spreadsheet to clean up first. The firm's history is already sitting in its inboxes and calendars; Kosa treats that as the source of truth. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is scoped to what the system needs to build your firm's records.

Kosa's extraction agents read each thread, meeting, and document and pull out the structured facts a venture firm runs on:

• People: names, roles, firms, contact details, and the context of how your team knows them.
• Companies: names, sector, funding stage, status, and every metric mentioned in communication.
• Deals: stage, round, terms, size, co-investors, attached documents, and the full timeline from first touch.
• Portfolio updates: ARR, headcount, runway, milestones, and risks, extracted from board decks and founder update emails.
• Meetings: attendees, topics discussed, decisions made, and action items owed.
• Documents: term sheets, board decks, and fund documents parsed into structured fields instead of sitting as attachments nobody reopens.
• Relationships: who at the firm actually communicates with whom, at what frequency and recency, built from real interaction patterns rather than manual logging.

Humans review the small fraction of extractions that need judgment; the rest happens automatically. Each extraction carries a confidence score. High-confidence facts flow straight into the record. Ambiguous ones land in a review queue where your team approves, edits, or rejects them in seconds.

Corrections teach the system. If your firm records contracted ARR rather than run-rate ARR, you fix it once and Kosa applies that convention to the next extraction, for every company. Your team confirms what Kosa already found instead of filling in blank fields.

Kosa processes new emails, meetings, and documents continuously, so records update as information arrives rather than when someone remembers to type. There are no Sunday night cleanup sessions and no chasing partners to log their meetings. The record reflects what actually happened, not what someone remembered to enter.

• Meeting prep: full context on every person and company in the room, assembled before you ask.
• Portfolio monitoring: runway dropping, ARR growing, and team changes surfaced across the portfolio as they appear in communication.
• Deal intelligence: the complete history of every interaction with a company, including deals your firm passed on before you joined.
• Relationship graph: who at the firm actually knows whom, based on real communication rather than claimed connections.
• LP reporting: numbers you can trust because they trace back to source documents.
• Search: anything the firm has ever discussed about a company, person, or topic, answerable in one question.

CRMs require input; Kosa captures. A CRM knows what someone typed into it, which is why most of them decay: adoption drops, fields stay empty, and the record drifts away from reality. Kosa reads your firm's communication regardless of anyone's data entry habits, so it stays current by construction.

The difference shows up in what an empty field means. A CRM with 40 percent of fields filled is normal. Kosa with 40 percent coverage means something is broken. That inversion is the point: the system of record is supposed to be the firm's memory, not a chore the firm performs.

Kosa connects in minutes, begins extracting within hours, and is built by Aligned Agent Inc., incubated by AlleyCorp. It is currently in early access with a small group of venture firms.
