Research and brief portfolio companies
Takes a list of portfolio companies and runs parallel Nimble searches across news, funding announcements, and social channels for each. Scores every company on signal strength and flags items by type — funding round, leadership change, product launch, competitive threat, or press risk. Delivers a per-company briefing card with recent headlines, a risk/opportunity flag, and a composite score, assembled into a single dashboard.

How it works
An 8-phase pipeline
- Verify accessClaude runs a test Nimble Search to confirm the connector is live before any research begins, and guides setup if it is not.
- Profile each companyNimble Search runs broad sweeps so Claude can identify each company's product and ecosystem, then adapt every later query to it.
- Count brand mentionsNimble Search tallies mentions across Reddit, Hacker News, press, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn to build the share-of-voice chart.
- Sweep the newsNimble Search runs news, funding, leadership, product, and financial queries inside the chosen time window for every company.
- Extract high-signal hitsNimble Extract pulls funding amounts, leadership moves, and product details from results that clear the materiality bar.
- Read headcount signalsNimble Search checks LinkedIn posts, open roles, and executive activity for strategy shifts on deep runs.
- Flag and dedupeClaude assigns each company a Positive, Watch, or Alert flag, drops stale or duplicate signals, and keeps only what is new.
- Render the briefingClaude builds the interactive HTML dashboard inline and writes a parseable markdown briefing.
