A Claude-based harness we keep swappable. Slack, WhatsApp or whatever you already use, where every thread is its own session. A memory layer shaped to your workflow. Weekly review so failures reach us before they reach you. Nothing of yours is stored on our side.
$5,000 setup · $2,500 a month · cancel monthly. Or no setup fee on a 6-month term. You keep the machine, the accounts and the subscription.
Clients across the San Francisco Bay Area, New York and Europe, collectively managing over $34B, from global multi-stage funds to deeptech CVCs.
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.
How it works
Three steps, no project plan.
Add us to your Slack. One click, a shared channel, nothing to install.
Agent live in 48 hours. On a machine you own, signed into your accounts, on a model key in your name.
Weekly review. We read the week's threads, fix what broke and ship the next skill. You spend the time on deals.
What venture firms are hiring for
Half the associate job you are hiring for is already agent work.
We read 56 venture job posts from the last 90 days. Every one asks for the same three things: monitor the market, keep the pipeline and CRM clean, draft the memo. An agent on your machine does that part now. Your team keeps the founders and the judgment.

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." This is what the people who carry the fund do between meetings. The agent does it in the thread where the meeting was discussed.

Call with Northwind Robotics, CEO. Raising a Series A in Q1. $8M run-rate, churn flat, 40 people. Wants an intro to our logistics LP. Not sure we have met them before.
Agent 2:14 PM
Logged to the deals database and linked to the company record.
You have met them. Seed round, March 2025. Passed: too early. Notes attached.
Two portfolio companies sell into the same buyers. Flagged the overlap for Thursday.
Intro drafted to the LP in your voice. Sitting in your drafts, not sent.
Memo skeleton started from the call. Comps pulled from the pipeline.
Partner 2:16 PM
Send the intro.

Where the market already is
The funds you compete with already built this.

Leonis Capital — "built our own research software, Leonis Alfa, to systematically track technical, talent, and commercial signals."
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."
Health Velocity Capital — "build AI-enabled workflows to automate or accelerate them. Views AI as core to the job, not an add-on."

Why the agent has something to work with
One in four founders we source raises from a top-tier VC.
The agent runs on two years of Olympos sourcing data: stealth founders the day a top-tier VC starts following them, scored against your thesis, pushed to your sheet. That is the plumbing five firms already run weekly.
401 signals, 123 raises, 12 investments
One San Francisco Bay Area client, founder signals delivered by Olympos and what happened next.
Runs inside what you already use: Affinity, Attio, Airtable, PitchBook, Crunchbase, Harmonic, Specter, Slack, Gmail, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, X.

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.
