Your own VC agent, on your machine, supports your associates.

Deal flow sourced and the landscape tracked daily. Financial models and investment memos drafted before the second call. Call notes in the CRM within the hour. Portfolio and LP updates on schedule.

Add us to your Slack

VC clients across the San Francisco Bay Area, New York and Europe, collectively managing over $34B, from global multi-stage funds to deeptech CVCs.

What it does

Agent does half of the associate job you are hiring for.

56 venture job posts from the last 90 days ask for the same three things: monitor the market, keep the pipeline and CRM clean, draft the memo.

VC job posts hire people for agent work

Give your associate unfair advantage

How it works

Simple, fun and effective.

1. Add us to your Slack. One click, a shared channel, nothing to install.
2. Agent live in 48 hours. On a machine you own, signed into your accounts, on a model key in your name.
3. Your machine. Your agent. Your data stays yours. Nothing is stored at Olympos, and the model provider does not train on it. Add it to Slack and see for yourself.

   Everything runs where it runs today. We operate it; we do not host it.

   Harness

   Migrate off the hobby setup to a Claude-based harness. Provider stays swappable as models change.

   Communication

   One agent, omni-channel: Gmail, WhatsApp, Slack, X, LinkedIn, SMS. One thread per task, so context stays isolated instead of bleeding across chats.

   Memory

   A light layer for open tasks, prior threads and standing context. Built to your workflow, not a PM tool bent to fit.

   Swappable model

   Claude today. Grok, Astra, Qwen or the next one tomorrow. You are not hard-wired to a provider.

4. Weekly review. We read the week's threads, maintain and ship the next skill. You spend the time on deals.

Where the market already is

Your competition already built this.

Fourteen of the 56 posts ask the hire to work with AI or to build the firm's own tooling. The other 42 are hiring a person to do the same work by hand. The funds furthest ahead stopped hiring for it and built the system.

• EQT Ventures — built Motherbrain in 2016; it now tracks more than 15 million companies and has been credited in over $100M of the firm's investments.
• SignalFire — Beacon AI structures 80M+ organisations and 650M+ employees from 10 million live data sources, and surfaces a company to the investment team when its engineering signals move.
• GIC — "Leverage AI/LLMs to increase the speed and depth of our investment diligence process."
• Bessemer Venture Partners — "AI native. Constantly using and experimenting with cutting edge products, technologies, and models."
• Menlo Research — "People who thrive here don't treat AI as a novelty."
• Crossover VC — "use analysis and modern AI tools to surface insights… improve investment research and decision-making."
• Health Velocity Capital — "build AI-enabled workflows to automate or accelerate them. Views AI as core to the job, not an add-on."
• Leonis Capital — "built our own research software, Leonis Alfa, to systematically track technical, talent, and commercial signals."
• Rise Growth Partners — "Be AI native; embrace the AI tooling Rise has funded to drive scale and better work product."

Get where they are in 48 hours

Where the hours go

Your partners are typing call notes.

One post says the associate will "summarize and type up all call notes and input in deals database (all Partners do this as well)." Another wants the CRM to capture "~all known projects." A third asks for "continuous monitoring of market trends, industry news, and startup companies."

Two ways to start.

Both include the harness, Slack or your alternative collaboration channel, the memory layer, weekly interaction review and a weekly 30-minute sync. You keep the machine, the accounts and the model subscription: the agent runs on a computer you own, signed into your own Slack, email and CRM, on a model subscription in your name. We operate it by remote desktop and store nothing. If we part ways, everything stays where it is and keeps working. Anything that becomes substantial engineering is scoped and priced first, with your approval.
