What I've accomplished

I sourced three early-stage startups using AI and platform searches, recorded key data and fit notes in a spreadsheet, and produced a ranked shortlist for follow-up due diligence.

Project breakdown

Faced with the module task to find three thesis-fit startups, I used AI and online search stacks to compile company profiles, funding, team size, industries and links. I produced a shared spreadsheet listing Natrx, Vitro3D, and Decagon AI.
