Map Investors

For each investor, list their relevant portfolio companies + ones that overlap with the user's outreach targets. The point isn't to pitch the VC — it's to find the people who could introduce the user to the founders they want to meet.

Inputs

$ARGUMENTS:

• Required: <domain>.
• Optional: --stage=<seed|series-a|growth|all> (default seed,series-a).
• Optional: --geography=<region> — defaults USER_LOCATION + global.
• Optional: --n=<count> (default 15).
• Optional: --cross-ref=<domain-slug> — overlay portfolio against another domain note.

Examples

/career:ecosystem investors "ai evals"
/career:ecosystem investors "devtools" --stage=seed --geography="EMEA"
/career:ecosystem investors "ai agents" --cross-ref=ai-eval-startups

Procedure

1. Paths + load

Read crm/companies.md (for target companies). If --cross-ref, read that domain note's company list.

Output: ${WORKING_FOLDER}/domain-notes/${domain-slug}/investors.md.

2. Enumerate

For each investor / fund, capture:

• Name (firm + lead partner if known).
• Stage focus.
• Geography focus.
• Domain thesis (1 line, cited).
• Recent investments in the domain (last 24 months) — names + dates.
• Portfolio overlap with user's target / cross-ref list — this is the high-signal field.
• Public outreach surface: do they have a public submission form, an investor email, conferences they regularly attend.
• Is the lead partner active on a public surface (substack, twitter, podcast).

3. Write the note

# Investors — {{domain}}

> Domain: {{domain}}
> Stage filter: {{stage}}
> Geography: {{geography}}
> Cross-ref: {{cross-ref or none}}
> Surveyed: {{date}}

## High overlap with target list

| investor | lead partner | stage | recent {{domain}} investments | overlap with my list | outreach surface | source |

## Domain-active, no overlap (background)

(same columns)

## Inactive in this domain (for the record)

| investor | last domain investment |

## Sources

1. ...

4. Print summary

note: domain-notes/<domain-slug>/investors.md
high-overlap: <n>
domain-active: <n>

next: 
  high-overlap → introducer surface — note who in your network connects to these partners
  follow-up → /career:outreach draft (light, soft-touch templates only)

Guardrails

• This skill maps; it doesn't recommend pitching. The output is introducer surface, not a target list.
• Portfolio overlap claims must be backed by Crunchbase / public announcements / firm portfolio pages. Cite sources.
• Don't surface stealth bets that require non-public knowledge.

Failure modes

• Domain has no clear investor cluster → write the note as ## Status: niche too early/quiet for clear VC mapping and surface adjacent investors.
