• Rapid deal evaluation enabling faster identification of good vs. bad opportunities
• Comprehensive benchmarking against industry standards
• Unique insights that surface non-obvious investment considerations

Strong Product-Market Fit

The Access Fund Perspective

Keye exemplifies our investment thesis: backing companies that use AI to solve concrete, existing problems rather than pursuing flashy features without clear use cases. The company's focus on practical applications that deliver measurable value aligns perfectly with our approach to identifying breakthrough opportunities.

Why This Matters

• Practical AI Implementation: Keye demonstrates how AI can enhance existing processes rather than replace them entirely
• Clear Value Proposition: Quantifiable improvements in accuracy and efficiency
