VC Info
Produce a concise VC firm briefing from web research. Max 2 search rounds.
Research
Round 1 — run all in parallel:
{name} venture capital fund size AUM overview{name} VC portfolio companies investments{name} venture capital partners team{name} VC investment thesis verticalssite:crunchbase.com/organization {name}site:linkedin.com {name} venture capital partners- Fetch the firm's website homepage, /team, /portfolio, and /about pages
Round 2 (only if critical gaps): Max 3 targeted follow-ups for missing fund size, partner LinkedIn URLs, or portfolio data.
Rules
- Never fabricate. Write "Not disclosed" for missing fields.
- Use search snippets when sites block fetching (LinkedIn, Crunchbase).
- LinkedIn links: Extract actual
linkedin.com/in/...URLs from search results. Never guess. Omit if not found. - Cross-reference fund size across 2+ sources when possible.
- Prefer sources from last 12 months.
- List at least 5 portfolio companies, prioritizing well-known ones.
- Include all GPs and MDs; limit other team to notable members.
Output
Read references/template.md for the exact output structure. Sections:
- TLDR — 2-3 sentences + key facts table
- Thesis & Focus — philosophy, sweet spot, geo, what they look for
- Team — background + LinkedIn
- Funds — table of funds with year, size, status
- Portfolio — table with vertical, stage, status
- Access & Process — how to get in, speed, founder-friendliness
- Value Add & Reputation — beyond capital + founder sentiment
- Recent Activity — latest fund, deals, exits
- Quick Take — best fit / skip if
Keep sentences short. No filler. If data unavailable, say so.
Edge Cases
- Micro VC / solo GP: Single partner, smaller portfolio, may lack fund history.
- Corporate VC: Note parent company, strategic vs financial, strings attached.
- Multi-stage / mega fund: Clarify which stage team is relevant.
- Angel group / syndicate: Note if formal fund or deal-by-deal.
- Not found: Tell the user directly.
