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

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.
