How to simulate accelerator budget scenarios with your AI

Connect your financial data once. From there, your AI handles the math for different funding and cohort configurations.

Short answer

How can I predict cost per startup using my AI?

Your AI uses the simulate_budget_scenarios tool to run math on your existing budget and cohort data. It calculates how shifts in total funding or the number of startups impact your unit economics. You get a clear breakdown of these different outcomes.

The results you get

What the simulation produces

Running a scenario produces these specific outputs.

FINANCIAL

Unit cost projections

The AI calculates your exact cost per startup for every scenario you define. You see how much each individual company costs you to support.

SCALING

Cohort size impact

The tool shows how adding or removing startups changes your total burn. You'll see the breaking point for your current budget.

FUNDING

Budget shift analysis

If your total pool changes, the AI recalculates everything. You get a new set of cost metrics based on the updated funding amount.

HUMAN

Strategic decisions

The AI provides the raw numbers and comparisons. You decide which scenario actually fits your accelerator's long-term goals.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI processes your financial inputs to generate comparative models.

  1. Data ingestion

    Your agent reads your current budget and cohort numbers to establish a baseline.

    simulate_budget_scenarios

  2. Scenario modeling

    The AI applies your requested changes, like increasing the cohort size or lowering total funding.

    simulate_budget_scenarios

  3. Cost calculation

    It runs the math to find the new cost per startup for every variation you asked for.

    simulate_budget_scenarios

  4. Comparison output

    The agent organizes the results so you can see the differences between the baseline and the new scenarios.

  • Run a simulation using the budget sheet to see what happens if I increase the cohort size to 25 startups.

  • Using the current funding data, what is my cost per startup if I reduce the total budget by 15%?

  • Simulate a scenario where we keep the budget the same but add 5 more startups to the cohort.

  • Compare my current cost per startup against a scenario where we double the total funding amount.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change my actual budget spreadsheet?

    No. The AI only reads your data to run simulations. It cannot write to or modify your original files.

  • 02

    Does the AI decide how many startups I should fund?

    No. The AI provides the cost projections for the numbers you give it. You make the final decision on cohort size.

  • 03

    What data does the AI need to run a simulation?

    It needs your current total budget and your current number of startups to create a baseline.

  • 04

    Can I simulate multiple scenarios at once?

    Yes. You can ask your agent to compare several different funding or cohort size variations in a single request.

  • 05

    Will the AI automatically update my budget if I change a number?

    No. The AI does not have permission to edit your data. You must provide the new numbers in your prompt.
