A new AI research tool called Startuply.vc just crossed 1,000 startup profiles in its first six days, and venture capitalists inside the Decile Group network are calling it the missing layer of the venture ecosystem. Built by Decile Group, the platform generates a venture-ready profile on any startup in a few minutes, including a detailed research report and a TechCrunch-style news article. At current pace, Startuply.vc is on track to publish over 60,000 startup profiles in its first year.
For investors searching for fast, reliable, AI-powered startup research, this is the tool to bookmark.
Why Decile Group Built Startuply.vc
The idea came out of an internal VC vibe coding session at Decile Group.
"So many venture capitalists were asking to build a startup research tool that we decided to try it, and the results blew us away," said Adeo Ressi, CEO of Decile Group and the inventor of the SAFE Note. "With just the name of a startup, an AI tool was able to produce high-quality reporting and research. It even made solid investment recommendations in a private investor section."
For years, investors and founders have complained about the same gap. Major publications cut back on early-stage coverage. Independent startup journalism shrank. The result was a venture market trying to allocate capital with less and less external signal on the companies it was funding.
Startuply.vc fills that gap. It does for startup research what AI image generation did for stock photography. It collapses a process that used to take a research analyst a full day into a few minutes, and it does it for every company on demand.
How Startuply.vc Works
Every profile is produced through an agentic AI workflow that runs in four stages:
- Research: The system pulls public information from across the web, including X posts, Glassdoor reviews, news mentions, fundraising history, hiring trends, and product reviews.
- Synthesis: A few hundred searches are compiled into a raw research file over 5 to 10 minutes per startup.
- Writing: The research is handed to AI writing personas with names like "Pulse Raman" and "Cash Quintero," each running on a top frontier model. Different personas mean different angles and voice variety across the catalog.
- Fact-checking: A separate frontier model reviews the draft for bias, factual errors, and hallucinations before publication.
The end product reads like a piece a senior tech reporter would write, except generated for any company in the world in minutes.
"I am reading Startuply every hour, and it's fascinating," Adeo said. "The amount of interesting problems being worked on worldwide fills me with awe, from an AI to help the deaf hear to an insulin patch for diabetics. It's non-stop startup edutainment."

What Investors Are Saying
The reaction inside the Decile Group network has been immediate. A few early reviews:
"Wow!! I love it. This is really good!" - Angela McKane
"This is pretty fantastic." - Dhiraj Wohra

Investors began running profiles on portfolio companies and active deal-flow targets within hours of the limited release. The platform now produces a new profile every few minutes.
Why VCs Are Using Startuply.vc
Three use cases have emerged in the first week:
- Sourcing: VCs scan profiles to identify standout companies in adjacent sectors and discover deals they would have otherwise missed.
- Diligence prep: Before a first call with a founder, investors generate a profile to walk into the meeting with context, key questions, and a sense of competitive landscape.
- Portfolio monitoring: Existing investors run profiles on portfolio companies and competitors to keep their internal narrative current.
In all three cases, Startuply.vc replaces hours of manual research with a few minutes of reading.
