How AI helps VCs save time and win deals

Investors: if you could reclaim 10 hours a week, where would you reinvest them? Recently Harry Stebbings challenged me: “How do agentic workflows change the product journey for an investor—excite me.” He let me screenshare and I walked him through Scout, Harmonic's agent that builds and diligences your pipeline. The verdict ➜ Now VCs can spend their energy winning the right deals instead of finding and diligencing them. 📹 (watch the clip below for a walk through) Where does sourcing or research still steal time from your week? Drop details about your time-suck below; I’ll share how we’re tackling it. #VentureCapital #AI #DealFlow

This is awesome! Finally a product that's taking adaptive artifacts in the right direction. So many people are obsessed with post-chat interfaces. But chat isn't the real issue - it's lack of fine grained artifact control (both in terms of enriching and interactivity). It's also really nice to see how the exploration workflow is born from Harmonic's deep vertical expertise. Love it.

This is the kind of shift that rewrites the rhythm of VC work—not just faster sourcing, but smarter decision-making. Loved seeing how Scout turns gruntwork into insight so investors can lean into strategy and relationships. Where else do you see agents reshaping the edge in early-stage investing?

Thanks for sharing, Max Ruderman! As an early user, we have been awed with Harmonic's progress in every new function/feature but this is really a game changer. I would love to know how this will effect on finding the nationalities of founders to scout diaspora startups.
