The problem it solves

Keeping up with which startups just raised funding or changed leadership means scanning multiple sources every day. By the time you notice a deal, a competitor may have already reached out.

Who it fits

Investors, founders, or business development teams who need to stay current on startup activity.

How it works

  1. The system checks Crunchbase for activity on your watchlist
  2. New funding rounds, leadership changes, and product launches are pulled out
  3. AI reviews the findings and writes a plain-English summary
  4. The summary is emailed to you
What you get

Startup moves summarized before your next meeting

You get a plain-English summary of funding and news for the startups you're tracking.

What you get

An email summary of the latest funding and company news for the startups you follow.

What you need

A Crunchbase API account, an OpenAI account, and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
