Sales, Marketing & SupportDone with custom-built or unnamed agent Oct 20, 2026
Screen new founders and run outreach for venture investing
An investor's agent system monitors new company filings, researches founders, flags matches, drafts and sends outreach, schedules meetings and prepares questions.
- What They Did
- One investor, described in an interview-based essay on AI in venture capital, built an agent that watches new company filings and researches each founder. It flags founders who fit the backgrounds the investor wants, then drafts and emails outreach, schedules the meeting and prepares questions. At one firm, the investor's taste is encoded as an eight-page prompt that scores new founders.
- How It Went
- The investor only has to show up to the Zoom call. The essay gives no metrics. It says the final investment decision stays human, and that every firm will build something similar.
- Worth Knowing
- Since everyone can build this, the essay says the edge comes from the taste you encode in the agent and from your existing founder relationships.
Try it yourself with custom-built or unnamed agent
Every [day/week], check [source of new company filings, e.g. state registry or Delaware filings] for new companies that match [sector, stage, location]. Research each founder and give me a short profile with a fit rating against [my investment criteria], plus draft an outreach email for the good matches. Don't send any emails or book any meetings until you've shown me the drafts and I approve them.
Do this with a skill.
