A placement agent charges 5% of the round for warm intros. An analyst spends two weeks building the target list. For years that layer was the slow, expensive part of a raise, and having it was the edge.

We rebuilt the entire layer as 375 prompts across eight files. Paste one into Claude, fill in the brackets, and the analyst’s two weeks happen in an afternoon.

Which is exactly why fundraising is about to get harder, not easier.

When the research layer was expensive, having it was the advantage. Now every founder in your batch generates the same list, the same fit analysis, the same clean cold email, for the price of a prompt. The analysis just commoditized. What did not commoditize is the part the prompts cannot touch.

A prompt builds the target list. It cannot tell you which partner told another founder, over coffee last week, that they are full this quarter.

A prompt ranks funds by thesis fit. It cannot tell you their last two bets in your space went to zero and the partner is gun-shy.

A prompt writes a flawless cold email. It cannot tell you one warm intro from the right founder beats two hundred of them.

Every one of those is judgment, timing, or a relationship. None of it is in the book. All of it decides whether you close.

The VC Corner

The VC Corner is where founders stay ahead: sharp news, fundraising strategies, battle-tested playbooks, and the tools to grow.

By Ruben Dominguez

So here is the deal. You get the whole book, all 375 prompts. And we are honest about the 20% it does not solve, because that 20% is what closes the round.
