Perplexity

Run automated deck triage in Claude Desktop

Feed startup documents into the chat to get instant feedback. You can use `submit_pitch_deck` to push files, then pull the results with `get_deck_analysis` to see if a startup is worth your time. This setup keeps your investment memo creation centralized. Trigger `generate_investment_memo` to draft summaries based on the analysis without leaving your current workspace.

Manage your pipeline with this MCP Server

Keep track of every startup you review by using `list_submissions` to see your active deck queue. If a deck no longer fits your mandate, use `delete_submission` to clear it out. Organize your deal flow by applying labels with `tag_submission`. You can see which categories are available by running `list_submission_tags` before you start sorting your inbox.

Find new opportunities with live data

Look for similar companies when you find a promising lead. Use `search_startups_semantically` to find related ventures based on the context of your current deck. Check the health of your connection using `get_api_status`. It tells you if the link between your environment and the data source is active.
