Gemini How It Works
Your accelerator has graduated 12 batches over 6 years , 240 companies total. Some raised Series A. Some raised Series B and beyond.
Some shut down. Some were acquired. You need to know the current status of all 240. Your AI agent queries Crunchbase for every alumni company: current funding status, last round date, total raised, latest valuation, key investors, and any acquisition or IPO events.
It returns the full funding history. Company X (Batch 3): Seed ($2M, 2020) Series A ($12M, 2022) Series B ($45M, 2024).
Last valuation: $180M. Status: Growing. Company Y (Batch 5): Seed ($1.5M, 2021) Acquired by Enterprise Corp ($30M, 2023). Status: Exited.
Company Z (Batch 8): Seed ($800K, 2022) No follow-on. Status: Operating at $50K MRR. Company W (Batch 2): Seed ($1M, 2019) Shut down (2021).
Status: Closed. Then Harmonic adds the current traction layer: Company X is hiring 15 people, website traffic up 120% YoY, featured in TechCrunch.
Company Z is flat , 3 employees, no traffic growth, no press. The agent builds a Google Sheets dashboard: 240 companies, 12 batches, full lifecycle.
Aggregate stats: total capital raised by alumni ($650M), number of follow-on rounds (85), exits (12), shutdowns (42), still operating (186).
Batch-over-batch comparison: Batch 3 produced the best outcomes (3 companies raised $100M+ combined). Batch 7 had the highest failure rate (8 of 20 shut down).
That data is your annual report. That data is your LP deck. That data is what attracts the next batch of applicants.
Connector Orchestration: 3 Connectors, one intelligent agent
Connect Crunchbase, Harmonic and Google Sheets Connectors so your AI agent tracks every accelerator alumni company across batches , monitoring funding rounds from Crunchbase (who raised, how much, from whom, at what valuation), current traction from Harmonic (are they growing, hiring, getting press?), and compiling the portfolio performance dashboard in Google Sheets. The single most important metric for any accelerator is alumni performance. LPs evaluate your fund. Startups evaluate your program. Mentors evaluate your selection. All based on the same question: what happened to the companies after they graduated? If your top alumni raised $150M collectively and 3 reached unicorn status, that is your brand. If you cannot tell that story with data, you are competing on reputation alone. This workflow builds the data.

Superpowers you didn't know your AI had
The Vinkius catalog gives your agent access to 5,800+ Connectors and the intelligence to combine them. Imagine never logging into another dashboard. Your AI handles the work across all tools, in one conversation. That's what this connectivity layer was built for.
Cross-Platform Intelligence
Your agent doesn't just connect to tools. It understands the relationships between them. Data flows where it needs to go, automatically, with full context preserved across all platforms.
Contextual Reasoning
Each decision your agent makes considers the full picture. It reads CRM data, checks calendars, reviews conversation history, and acts on everything at once. Not step by step. All at once.
Productivity at Scale
What used to take 45 minutes across five different dashboards now takes one sentence. Your agent runs the entire workflow end to end while you focus on decisions that actually matter.
Zero-Config Reliability
No API keys to paste. No webhooks to configure. No YAML to debug. Connect your Connectors once, and your agent handles the rest. Each time, without intervention.
Made for
exactly this
Your AI agent taps into the entire Vinkius AI Connectors to handle these for you. You describe what you need. It does the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Connector Orchestration
Which Connectors do I need for this workflow?
Three: Crunchbase, Harmonic and Google Sheets. Connect all three to your AI client before running any prompt from this page.
Does this work with Claude Desktop, Cursor or Windsurf?
Yes. Any AI client that supports the Model Context Protocol works , Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline and others. Connect the Connectors and paste a prompt.
How often should I update the alumni tracker?
Quarterly is ideal for funding data (Crunchbase). Monthly for traction signals (Harmonic) if you want to catch fundraising signals early. The Google Sheets dashboard can be refreshed on any cadence.
Can I track alumni from other accelerators for benchmarking?
Yes. Query Crunchbase for any accelerator's alumni , YC, Techstars, 500 Global. Compare their follow-on rates and exit values to yours. This competitive benchmarking helps you position your program.
Is alumni data complete on Crunchbase?
Crunchbase captures disclosed rounds. Some early-stage rounds go unreported , especially angel rounds and small bridge financings. For comprehensive alumni tracking, supplement with direct founder outreach for companies not appearing in Crunchbase.
Can I share this dashboard with applicants?
Yes , and you should. Alumni performance data is your strongest recruiting tool. Founders choosing between accelerators will pick the one with verifiable outcomes. Publish the top-line metrics on your website and share the detailed dashboard with shortlisted applicants.

Connectors used in this workflow
Crunchbase
Crunchbase MCP for AI Agents. Connect your agent to the Crunchbase API to perform deep business intelligence, track startup funding, and map investment networks. It lets your AI client pull real-time data on companies, founders, and VC activity without you having to browse the website manually.
Harmonic
Harmonic MCP lets you pull startup intelligence directly into your AI agent. Use it to enrich company data, find new investment targets, and pull investor portfolios without leaving your chat window. It turns your agent into a research analyst that knows the startup landscape.
Google Sheets
Google Sheets MCP lets you read, write, and manage spreadsheet data through your AI agent. Stop wasting time on manual data entry or complex formulas. Just tell your agent to pull specific ranges, add new rows, or create entire new sheets on the fly. It handles the tedious work of keeping your data organized so you can focus on making decisions.
