Venture capital and private equity principals building at the intersection of finance, data, and technology.
DIV0: Investment Intelligence
A financial analysis engine delivering rigorous scoring, quantitative backtesting, and systematic validation, built for serious investors who demand more than a screener.
As a starting point, we're building around five core features we believe will deliver the most actionable intelligence. That said, DIV0 is in active development and we're constantly learning. Features may evolve, change, or expand at any time. What you see here is an early preview of the concept we're building toward. See a feature you want that isn't included? We value your feedback. Reach out through the early access or contact forms and we'll get back to you.
DIV0 scores favor companies with durable competitive advantages, consistent growth, and the financial health to sustain distributions through economic cycles. Speculative or momentum-driven names will not score well on our criteria.
Valuation discipline is embedded in the scoring model. A company that scores well on dividend safety and financial health but trades at a significant premium to its DCF fair value will see that premium reflected in its composite score.
DIV0 analyzes what a business does financially, what its statements show, and what its historical performance demonstrates, not what it promises. Earnings quality, FCF coverage, debt management, and operational consistency matter more than growth stories.
Not every opportunity comes with a decade of history behind it. DIV0's scoring model includes a concession framework for companies with significant present operational advantages: businesses where the fundamental case is credible and improving, even if the track record is still being written. If the reasoning holds up and matches your investor profile, DIV0 will surface it. Clearly labeled as a conviction position, not a score-validated one. A separate lane, not a workaround.
DIV0 is not a tool for passive investors. It is built for people who want to understand what they own and why.
DIV0 is built for people who want to understand what they own and why, whether you're a self-directed investor tired of guessing, someone who already researches like an analyst, or a finance professional looking for a systematic layer to support your own work. The goal is for the tool to meet you wherever you are: from a clear, plain-language research score to full scoring transparency, intrinsic value modeling, and documented reasoning behind every call.
Not just a tracker. A research engine in the making.
Our vision is a single connected experience built around one scoring framework. A home view that surfaces what matters today. A research tool for finding your next position. A watchlist that flags opportunities against your own thresholds. An optional, read-only view into your actual holdings. And broader market context to frame it all. Exactly how these pieces come together is still being designed, but the throughline is consistency: one engine tying discovery, monitoring, and portfolio analysis together.
At the core of DIV0 is a single composite score we're building to capture the dimensions that matter most: dividend safety, valuation, growth quality, financial health, and total return. We're still refining exactly how these come together, but the goal is one number that actually means something.
We're working on tools to help you think about what a company is actually worth, and how far the market price is from that. The aim is to flag opportunities on your terms, not ours.
Risk isn't something to eliminate, it's something to understand. We're exploring ways to surface leverage, coverage, and credit signals so risk is visible rather than hidden.
An area we're exploring: letting you see how a company's financing choices, like taking on debt or buying back shares, could shape its future.
We want every report to include a clear-eyed read on a company's competitive position, its tailwinds and its risks, in plain language.
Scores without reasoning aren't very useful. We're building toward written explanations behind every score, so you can evaluate the logic yourself.
Historical financials, made easy to explore. We're working on giving you years of context on any metric without digging through filings.
DIV0 is being built to handle both individual stocks and ETFs, with analysis suited to each.
"Markets reward discipline, not instinct. DIV0 is built around a simple premise: that seasoned investors manage risk through rigorous analysis, prioritizing financial reality over narrative, valuation discipline over price, and durable competitive advantage over short-term momentum."
