AI BriefingBuilding an Auditable VC Research Agent with Perplexity
Key point
Built an agent combining the Perplexity Agent API and LangGraph to generate VC investment memo drafts in 90 seconds.
Details
Venture funds need to write investment memos requiring extensive research for investment decisions, but traditional methods involve hours of manual work. To address this, an automated agent was developed using the Perplexity Agent API and LangGraph.
This agent features a two-stage structure where four research nodes—Team, Financials, Product, and Market—run in parallel to gather evidence, followed by a separate synthesizer node that writes the memo based on this information. Notably, the synthesizer node generates a memo with 7 sections (Snapshot, Team, Financials, Product, Market, Risks, Thesis) using only the collected information without tool usage.
The entire process takes approximately 90 seconds, with API costs around $0.40. All claims cite primary sources, enabling audits, and allowing analysts to spend their time refining the draft.
