Strawberryforinvestors
Think of Strawberry as your new investment team: capable and eager, but it needs your context before it can do its best work. Train it like a new hire and it takes real work off your plate, while doing things you never had time for. One companion can play deal analyst, scribe, news monitor, and diligence lead, and the more context you give it, the better it gets.
To set up, import your bookmarks and history from your old browser, and bring over memories from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini so your agent starts with what you already know. Connect Gmail, Slack, your CRM (Affinity or Attio), Google Drive, your calendar, and Granola so it can read your deal flow and write back where you work. Then talk to it by typing or voice, and tell it what's on your plate this week.
Five concrete use cases
Source deals that learn your taste
Help me source deals that actually fit my taste. Ask me about the deals I've loved and passed on.
Your companion sources companies before they hit everyone's inbox, tuned to what your firm actually backs.
- Set your thesis, stage, geography, and check size, plus the signals you trust: founder pedigree, momentum, new domain registrations, early traction.
- It runs parallel agents across the web, LinkedIn, Crunchbase, and accelerator batches, then returns a ranked list with fit score and key details in a sheet, chat, or dashboard.
- Tell it yes or no on each one and it tunes the next batch, finds contact info, and adds the best fits to your CRM.
Save this as a skill, then run it as a weekly routine that surfaces new fits and re-surfaces pipeline companies when they hit a milestone.
Build deal memos from everything you've gathered
Help me turn everything I've gathered into a sharp, sourced deal memo. Let's figure out the structure.
Your companion turns scattered research into a memo your IC can trust.
- Set what you underwrite for: market, team, traction, moat, risks, plus your memo format and the frameworks you rely on.
- It pulls the company, market, and competitors, synthesises your founder, reference, and expert calls, and flags where customer sentiment contradicts the founder's story.
- It pulls verbatim quotes with sources, drafts in your format, and files the memo to the company record.
Save it as a skill and trigger it whenever a new company enters your pipeline.
Monitor your thesis and portfolio
Help me keep track of my thesis areas and portfolio. Interview me on what I want to watch.
Your companion keeps an eye on the companies, people, and themes that matter to you.
- Set what to watch, what counts as signal versus noise, and include the companies you passed on so you can track how those bets played out.
- It scans news, funding, social, and filings, then returns a digest with sources and why each item matters.
- It logs notable items to the company record and tunes with your feedback.
Save it as a skill, then run it as a daily or weekly routine that lands in your inbox or Slack.
Let the scribe file itself
Help me capture my founder meetings and file the notes where they belong. Walk me through it.
Your companion handles founder meetings end to end, from prep to filed notes.
- Before the call, it briefs you on the founder and company, pulled from your notes, CRM, and the web.
- During the call, it transcribes live, without a bot joining the meeting.
- After, it drafts follow-ups and pulls every company, person, and theme mentioned into structured records and the right folders.
Save it as a skill and trigger it automatically from your calendar events.
Run diligence and pressure-test terms
Help me run diligence and pressure-test a term sheet. Tell me what you'd want to check.
Your companion reviews the deal against your baselines and flags what's off.
- Set what matters for this deal, your baselines, NVCA standard terms plus your portfolio history, and your red-flag list.
- It reviews the term sheet, cap table, and data room, builds comps and a valuation range, and flags off-market or risky terms.
- It returns a plain-English summary with sources and files the findings to the deal.
Save it as a skill and run it on every new term sheet.
More ideas
A few less-obvious ways investors use Strawberry:
- Track the ones you passed on. Keep a living record of companies you declined and how they went, so the firm learns its taste over time.
- Instant market maps. Turn a thesis or sector into a competitive landscape on demand, with funding and momentum.
- Warmest-path intros. Map who in your network can warm-intro a target founder or co-investor.
- LP updates and fund math. Draft quarterly LP updates and pull reserves, ownership, and follow-on math from your data.
- Founder reference checks. Gather and synthesise backchannel references before you commit.
