Automatically evaluate startup applications for venture capital funds, score them against investment criteria, and schedule follow-up calls with promising candidates.

Workflow Steps

1

Typeform

Collect startup applications

Create a comprehensive application form capturing company details, financials, team info, market size, and pitch deck upload. Include required fields for revenue, funding stage, and target market.

2

Zapier

Send applications to Airtable

Set up a Zapier trigger when new Typeform submissions come in. Automatically create new records in Airtable with all form data, including attachments and formatted text fields.

3

OpenAI GPT-4

Score applications against criteria

Use Zapier's OpenAI integration to analyze each application against your fund's investment thesis. Prompt GPT-4 to score market opportunity (1-10), team strength (1-10), and product viability (1-10), then provide a recommendation summary.

4

Airtable

Update records with AI scores

Configure Zapier to write the GPT-4 scores and analysis back to the Airtable record. Create views to filter high-scoring applications (8+ average) for immediate review.

5

Calendly

Auto-schedule calls with top prospects

Set up Zapier to automatically send Calendly booking links to startups scoring 8.5+ overall. Include personalized email template referencing their specific strengths identified by AI analysis.
