Why We Built Amy

Every venture firm runs on information. Who's raising, what's trending, which founders are worth meeting — the firms that move fastest on the best data win.

But the reality inside most funds looks nothing like that. Partners spend hours each week on manual research. Associates copy-paste between dozens of tabs. CRM records go stale the moment they're created. The tools that were supposed to help — the databases, the newsletters, the dashboards — just added more noise.

The breaking point

We'd been on the other side of the table. We'd seen how investment teams actually work, and the gap between what's possible and what's practical was staggering. The information is out there — in SEC filings, in hiring data, in product launches, in social signals — but no one had time to synthesize it all.

That's the problem we set out to solve.

What Amy does differently

Amy isn't another dashboard or database. She's an autonomous AI agent that does the work a junior analyst would — except she never sleeps, never forgets, and gets better every week.

• Sourcing: Amy continuously scans for companies matching your thesis, surfacing opportunities before they hit the mainstream.
• Screening: She pulls together everything you need to evaluate a deal — market sizing, competitive landscape, founder backgrounds — in minutes, not days.
• Monitoring: Your portfolio companies, your pipeline, your market — Amy tracks it all and alerts you when something meaningful changes.

Looking ahead

We're still early. But the response from investors who've tried Amy has been overwhelming. They're not just saving time — they're finding deals they would have missed entirely.

This journal is where we'll share what we're learning, what we're building, and how the landscape for private market investors is evolving. We hope you'll follow along.
