Our community just crossed 16k subscribers and 1M total views. I’m incredibly thankful for your continued support and perceive this as a testament to the importance of data-driven approaches and AI in VC. In light of a 4.94/5 ranking of this newsletter (sample = 205 votes 🙏🏻 survey see bottom of every episode), I’m still surprised that one of the most frequent feedbacks is: “I love your work and follow every newsletter, but really don’t find the time to implement it myself”.

Yes, we’re all incredibly busy, but shouldn’t we regularly take a step back and sharpen the axe? The Xmas break ahead might be a good time to zoom out and revisit the way how we work because if you haven’t changed your processes and tools in the past year, I guarantee you waste your time and leave opportunity on the table.

While there are many quick wins like browser plugins for sourcing, data extraction, CRM workflows, content creation, and more, recent developments in AI allow us to go deeper than ever before. With literally zero effort. The problem is just that most people don’t know what’s already out there.

In the absence of a GPT Store, I created BrowseGPTs to search for specific GPTs and regularly checked the top-ranking 1k+ GPTs here. Moreover, I asked you all for input to assemble the most comprehensive library of AI agents and Customized GPTs for VC investors and founders.

The resulting list comprises 100+ GPTs and after spending nights & weekends testing them, I found that only a few provide actual value. The majority is still useless and no more than an experiment. Today, I share my selection of the Top 10 Most Useful Customized GPTs for VC investors.

If you’d like to learn more about Customized GPTs and even build your own within minutes, you can find a simple summary and step-by-step guide here. Please note that Customized GPTs require a ChatGPT Plus subscription. From the 100+ list, I looked at each GPT’s initial prompt and whether it was provided proprietary “training data”, checked whether you can upload and rely on additional files and/or 3rd party APIs and/or web search for processing your prompts, and tested a range of VC-specific use cases. The following ten turned out to be the most useful ones in order.
