# Manage Your Accelerator Equity Pool. AI Agent Connect > Accelerator Equity Pool Management is an MCP designed for fund managers and VCs who need to track the financial health of their accelerator program. It provides tools to manage the full lifecycle of the equity pool, from monitoring current utilization to projecting future capacity. You can get a real-time snapshot of the pool's health using get_pool_status. Need to know how many cohorts you can support? forecast_runway handles that. If you need to plan for future funding, calculate_replenishment_needs determines exactly what you need to recover through exits or secondary sales. This MCP ensures your program maintains sufficient runway for future cohorts. ## Overview - **Category:** finance - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_qyyd0AWsM8UpOrWZP6dqA0s09RJ7NwP8IkScTNQf/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** equity, accelerator, forecasting, fund-management, venture-capital ## Description Running an accelerator means constantly balancing growth with finite capital. This MCP gives you the tools to manage that balance. You can get a high-level snapshot of the current equity pool health using get_pool_status. Beyond knowing where you stand today, you can project how many future cohorts the fund can sustain by running the forecast_runway tool. If the numbers look tight, calculate_replenishment_needs tells you exactly how much equity must be recovered through exits or secondary sales to hit your operational targets. It helps managers track equity tiers, ensuring the program always has enough runway for the next round of founders. It’s about making sure your capital structure supports your growth goals. ## Tools ### calculate_replenishment_needs This tool figures out how much equity must be recovered through exits or secondary sales to maintain a specific operational target. ### forecast_runway Use this to determine how many future cohorts the accelerator can support with the current resources available. ### get_pool_status This tool gives you a high-level snapshot of the current health and availability of the entire equity pool. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` What is the current status of my equity pool if I have 10% total, 2% reserved, and 5% committed? ``` **Response:** ``` Your current utilization rate is 62.5%, and you have 3% of available equity remaining. ``` **Prompt:** ``` How many more cohorts can I run if I have 5% available equity, 2 companies per cohort, and take 2% per company? ``` **Response:** ``` You can support 2 more full cohorts. ``` **Prompt:** ``` I have 1% available equity and want a 3% buffer. How much do I need to replenish? ``` **Response:** ``` You have a shortfall of 2% to reach your target buffer. ``` ## Capabilities ### Check Pool Health The AI uses get_pool_status to provide an immediate, high-level view of your current equity availability. ### Project Future Cohorts The AI runs forecast_runway to calculate how many future program cycles your current capital can sustain. ### Determine Funding Needs The AI uses calculate_replenishment_needs to quantify the equity recovery required to meet specific operational goals. ### Assess Utilization Rate The AI calculates your current usage percentage based on reserved and committed equity. ### Identify Shortfalls The AI compares your available equity against a target buffer to show necessary replenishment amounts. ## Use Cases ### End-of-Cycle Review A fund manager needs to know if the current pool size can support the next 18 months of operations. They run forecast_runway to get a definitive number. ### Budgeting for New Cohorts The team is planning a new cohort and needs to know the current available equity. They use get_pool_status for an immediate assessment. ### Addressing Capital Shortfalls The fund has dipped below its target buffer. They use calculate_replenishment_needs to determine the minimum required recovery from recent exits. ### Quarterly Reporting A fund administrator needs to prove the fund's sustainability to investors. They use the MCP to generate data showing both current status and future projections. ## Benefits - You know your program's runway by forecasting how many future cohorts the current capital can support. - You get a real-time snapshot of the equity pool's health, tracking reserved and committed capital. - You calculate the exact equity recovery needed from exits or secondary sales to meet operational targets. - You track the full lifecycle of equity, from reserved to recycled, keeping compliance simple. ## How It Works Connect your preferred AI client to the Vinkius catalog. Your agent then uses the specific tools to analyze your equity pool data and return actionable financial metrics. 1. Connect your AI client (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code) to the Vinkius catalog. 2. Ask your agent a specific question, like 'How many cohorts can we run?' 3. The agent invokes the appropriate tool, such as forecast_runway. 4. The MCP processes the data and returns a clear, calculated answer to your question. ## Frequently Asked Questions **What kind of data does this MCP manage?** This MCP manages the lifecycle of an accelerator's equity pool. It tracks utilization, reserved capital, committed funds, and overall runway to help manage the fund's financial health. **Can I use this to predict future funding needs?** Yes. The calculate_replenishment_needs tool determines how much equity must be recovered through exits or secondary sales to keep the program running. **Is this tool just for checking current status?** No. While get_pool_status gives a snapshot, the MCP also allows you to forecast future capacity using forecast_runway, which is critical for long-term planning. **Does this require me to set up a dedicated server?** No. Vinkius hosts and manages this MCP. You simply connect your AI client to the catalog, and you get immediate access to the tools.
