What's new
Features, improvements and fixes shipped to UnicornBurn Intelligence.
2026-06-27
UPDCompare and rank your portfolio companies side by side — sort the whole portfolio by risk, then put up to four head-to-head on score, sector, capital raised, founding year and top risk driver
UPDDeal results now flag a "tarpit" pattern — when your profile clusters with a large group of past failures that mostly died of the same cause, you'll see it called out, so you know when you're walking into a well-trodden trap
2026-06-26
UPDYour risk-alert digest now flags portfolio companies running low on runway or with stale funding, not just rising risk scores
UPDTrack each portfolio company's runway and funding age — enter cash, monthly burn and last-funding date in the company panel to see months of runway (against how long similar startups survived) and how stale its funding is
UPDSee the reasoning behind a deal's verdict — a breakdown of the signals that drove the score, plus how the profile compares to historical base rates
UPDClick any company in your Portfolio scan to open a detail panel — its top risk driver, the collapses it most resembles, the cause breakdown and survival curve, all in one place
UPDYour Portfolio scan now shows founding year and capital raised at a glance
UPDReopen a past analysis with one click and land back on the full verdict and evidence, right inside the dashboard
UPDName your deal when evaluating one from the public tool, so the analysis is labelled and easy to find
FIXYour getting-started checklist now ticks off a step the moment you actually complete it — like adding a deal to your portfolio — no matter which way you did it
UPDYour portfolio's daily signals now appear right on your dashboard home — funding, leadership, regulatory and competitor news about the companies you track, the moment you log in
UPDA simpler dashboard: the standalone Activity page is gone — the dataset feed now lives in the Database and your portfolio signals on the Home, so there's one less place to check
2026-06-25
UPDDeals you add in Deal Scouting are now scored automatically — the row fills in the survival score and risk tier without a separate click
UPDRemove a company from your portfolio in one click, straight from the list
UPDWhile a deal is being scored you now see a clear progress state instead of a frozen panel
UPDThe deal evaluation screen has a cleaner layout: your verdict, score and actions stay pinned on the left while the evidence — causes, survival curve, comparable collapses and due-diligence questions — reads down the right, with no repeated numbers
UPDSave a deal to your portfolio in one click, straight from the evaluation screen — the company you just analysed is added without re-entering it
FIXThe "Evaluate a deal" tool and its due-diligence questions now run reliably for every deal
UPDThe dashboard home is cleaner while you get set up — your key actions lead as cards with the rest tucked into a compact “later” row, everything lays out neatly on smaller screens, and the deal banner and side panels stay out of the way until you've finished onboarding
2026-06-24
UPDEvery startup autopsy page now shows the full failure analysis — the documented cause, the anatomy of the collapse, and the lesson — free and without an account
UPDEach autopsy now shows what our model would have predicted from the company's profile at its peak — its most likely failure causes — a live look at how the engine reads a deal
UPDAutopsies now include a survival curve for the company's cohort — how long similar startups lasted — with the company itself plotted on it
UPDThe full Diligence Brief — risk verdict, LP narrative, DD questions, and top failure analogues in one shareable PDF — is now available on the Analyst plan
UPDDeveloper Hub: generate and rotate your API key, and switch on outbound webhook events that push every risk-score change to your CRM or dashboard — all self-service from your account (Intelligence plan and above)
UPDThe in-app feedback form now targets newer areas — Deal Scouting, Diligence Brief, API & webhooks, Team, and portfolio signals — so your report reaches the right place
FIXThe investor directory now shows the right number of documented portfolio failures per investor — the count on each fund's card matches its profile page, and it updates automatically as the failure dataset grows
2026-06-23
UPDDeal evaluation got more accurate: the model now pinpoints the primary failure cause within its top 3 in 76% of analyses — 86% when the secondary cause counts too
UPDEvery company your verdict is matched against is now editorially verified — each one human-reviewed with a documented source, so every comparison behind a result is one you can check
2026-06-17
NEWEvaluate a deal: drop a pitch deck (PDF) and get an instant risk verdict — the documented failures it most resembles and a ready-to-paste summary for your IC memo
UPDEvaluate a deal now works with or without a deck: paste a deck or enter the company details by hand, then refine any signal and watch the verdict update
UPDDeck evaluations are now fully reproducible — the same deck always returns the same verdict, so it holds up in front of your committee
UPDWhen the AI infers a field it can’t read directly from the deck (like archetype or moat), it’s flagged for you to confirm — a guess never silently drives your verdict
NEWAdversarial deck read: each verdict now shows what the deck reveals — and, more tellingly, what it omits — about every top risk, with the sharp question to ask the founder. The deck is read as a sales document and stress-tested against how similar companies actually died, never taken at face value
2026-06-15
NEWGuided Missions: a personalised getting-started guide that adapts to your role (Investor, Manager, Researcher) and walks you through the core features on your first session
UPDAutopsy database table is now fully keyboard-navigable — browse 5,032 failure cases without a mouse
UPDRisk assessment form now accepts B2B/B2C type, headcount, and a primary fatal mistake hypothesis — each adds precision to the matching algorithm
2026-06-14
UPDDataset expanded across every sector and cause category — broader coverage of the documented failures behind each verdict
UPDEvery autopsy now includes an investor/founder lesson — what the failure teaches about evaluating similar companies today
2026-06-14
