Short answer

How can I calculate cohort funding success and investment scales?

Your AI uses the calculate_funding_metrics tool to pull specific data points for any group of startups you identify. You'll get precise success rates and average funding amounts for those specific cohorts. Here is what you'll get.

The results you get

The outcomes of your analysis

Running this task gives you three distinct ways to view your cohort's performance.

METRICS

Success rate reports

The AI calculates what percentage of a specific cohort went on to raise follow-on capital. You get a clear ratio based on your raw startup data.

SCALES

Average investment sizes

The tool aggregates total funding amounts to show the mean investment scale for a group. This helps you see if certain cohorts are attracting larger checks.

TRENDS

Cohort comparisons

You can ask your agent to compare the performance of one graduation year against another. This highlights shifts in funding quality over time.

HUMAN

Strategic review

The AI provides the raw numbers, but you decide what these trends mean for your accelerator's future strategy. You interpret the results to adjust your selection process.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as a data analyst that sits directly on top of your startup records.

  1. Identify the cohort

    Your agent scans your startup database to find the specific group of companies you want to study, such as the 'Class of 2023'.
