Overview

The work translated Mangusta Capital's Vertical AI thesis into explicit screening criteria and applied those rules to market research and deal sourcing. Research combined VC databases and secondary sources to identify candidate companies and profile their funding, team, and industry data. The project produced a prioritized shortlist of three startups and a linked spreadsheet of company profiles.

What I've accomplished

I produced a prioritized shortlist of three Vertical AI startups and a shared spreadsheet containing company profiles, funding details, headcount, industry tags, and source links for each candidate.

Project breakdown

I gathered three startups that fit the vertical-AI thesis, recorded company profiles (website, funding, headcount, industries) and funding details in a shared spreadsheet. The deliverable listed each startup with links and key datapoints for follow-up.
