Every check an angel should run, from Companies House and the FCA to sanctions lists, the courts and real traffic data, collected into one gateway. Structured diligence on any startup in minutes, and a watchful eye on every company you already hold.
Real traction in a documented niche; the sticking point is a valuation running ahead of the filed record.
Proper diligence means checking a dozen registers and databases, one by one. Most angels check two, or none. We enable UK angels with a single gateway: Tero holds the connections (official APIs, licensed data subscriptions, live web research) so one login replaces the dozen tabs.
Tero never takes a founder's claims at face value. Every company is verified directly against the official Companies House register, then cross-checked with the FCA register, sanctions lists, court records and the live web.
One investor, a dozen tabs, logins and PDFs. An evening per deal, so most checks never happen.
One connection. Tero maintains the pipes: official APIs, licensed data subscriptions and live web research. Every report lists each check it ran, including the clean ones.
Every UK share issue must be filed at Companies House on form SH01, with the actual price paid per share and the full share count. It's buried in PDFs almost nobody reads. Tero reads them: real raise sizes, implied valuations, staged rounds and dilution, all computed from the filed record and set against whatever the founder's deck claims. When a portfolio company files a new allotment, you get the alert.
Checks run via official APIs and public registers. Where a source can't be reached, the report says so. Honesty about what wasn't verified is part of the product.
Give Tero a name, a URL or a deck. It extracts every claim into an evidence ledger, checks it against the official Companies House record and the other registers, researches nine modules in parallel, then a second, sceptical agent attacks the judgment calls and forces an evidence-backed revision before anything reaches you. When the report lands, ask Tero any follow-up question in chat, and export the whole memo as a PDF for your co-investors. Open any module below.
Every module graded green · amber · red, with the evidence one click away and a risk register of what could go wrong.
Market size, funding comparisons, real monthly traffic. All drawn from sourced numbers, never invented.
One-click PDF export with every chart and check, built to be sent to co-investors. Then ask the analyst follow-ups in chat.
Angel positions go quiet for years, until the one week they don't. Tero watches the registers, the filings and the news for every company you hold, and interrupts you only for the things that matter.
Tero watches news for every company you hold and tells you what each story means for your position. One honest line, not a clippings folder.
The moment a portfolio company files a new share allotment (SH01), you get the alert with the implied valuation. Often before the press release, sometimes instead of one.
Director resignations, charges over assets, insolvency and strike-off activity, pulled from Companies House filings rather than rumours.
Every Monday: portfolio performance, an AI-written read on the week, and the news behind it. In your inbox before your coffee.
Certificates chased, claim deadlines watched, clawback dates on record, and your true net downside per position, computed.
A portfolio analyst in the sidebar, grounded in your holdings and their news, extended by live search. It can even launch a diligence run from chat.
2,150 new ordinary shares at £3.12 implies £6.8m post-money. Your 1.9% becomes 1.7%.
Validates the enterprise channel your thesis rested on; watch fulfilment costs in the next accounts.
A senior finance hire at seed stage usually precedes a raise or an audit. Worth a founder call.

Fair question. Tero is built on the same frontier AI models that power ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity. The difference is everything wired around them: live connections to the official registers, licensed data a chat window cannot reach, and a verification discipline no single prompt can replicate. A chat assistant gives you a well-written summary of what the internet says. Tero checks what the internet says against what was actually filed.
| What a proper check needs | General AI chat | Tero |
|---|---|---|
| Live official registers at run time: Companies House, FCA, OFSI sanctions, The Gazette, court records | —Recalls training data; cannot query the registers | ✓Queries the official APIs the moment you run the report |
| The real filed round: SH01 allotment PDFs parsed into raise size and implied valuation | —Cannot open or parse register filings | ✓Reads the filing nobody reads, and compares it to the deck |
| Licensed market data: traffic history, search keywords, competitors' ads, domain authority | —No access to paid data sources | ✓SEMrush-grade search intelligence in every report |
| Verification, not narration: every claim cross-checked, then challenged by an adversarial review pass | —One answer, one pass, tuned to be agreeable | ✓Claims verified against independent sources; a sceptic agent attacks the draft before you see it |
| The same rigour every time: nine structured modules, calibrated verdicts, an exportable memo | —A different wall of text each time you ask | ✓Comparable reports, verdict discipline, PDF for your co-investors |
| A memory: filings, allotments and news watched after you invest | —The answer is frozen the moment it is written | ✓Monitoring that alerts you when the register changes |
Judge it on the output, not the argument: read a full example report, then ask your favourite chatbot for the same depth on any UK startup.
