AI due diligence and benchmarking for investors and enterprises

Transparent, standards-based AI due diligence enabling faster, better AI investment and partnership decisions

Hebed AI is a SaaS platform helping investors and enterprises evaluate AI startups through transparent, standards-based due diligence.

HOW IT WORKS

01

Run standards-based AI assessments

AI startups complete structured assessment questionnaires based on recognized standards (IRIS+, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF), covering governance, risk, impact, and operational readiness.

02

Generate structured, comparable insights

Assessment responses are transformed into structured, auditable insights, enabling consistent analysis and comparison across AI startups, sectors, and use cases.

03

Support decision-making with an AI Copilot

An AI Copilot helps investors and enterprises explore assessment results, highlight key strengths and risks, and support AI investment and partnership decisions.

  • Identify high-potential AI opportunities earlier through structured, standards-based assessments

Why AI Due Diligence Matters

The AI Advantage when decisions are made right

Value creation

AI-driven companies consistently outperform peers when AI is deployed in core operations rather than isolated pilots. Leading studies estimate trillions in annual economic value unlocked through AI adoption.

Productivity gains

Organizations using AI strategically report double-digit productivity improvements, driven by faster execution, automation, and better decision support across teams.

Cost reduction

Well-evaluated AI deployments reduce operational costs by minimizing failed implementations, rework, and misaligned technology investments.

Better capital allocation

Structured AI evaluation enables investors and enterprises to allocate capital and resources more effectively, focusing on opportunities with the strongest fundamentals and long-term value.

AI delivers impact when capital and partnerships are allocated with clarity.
