Experience
Product Analyst
Entrepreneur VenturesJan 2026 — Present · Los Angeles, CA
Building an AI diligence agent in Python with the Claude API that scores founder-interview transcripts on 12 weighted criteria, returning scores, explanations, and an overall grade that cites the transcript. The agent has reviewed 60+ deals, and qualified deals now advance about 25% more often. Set rubric weights from analyst benchmarks so the investment committee can review nearly twice as many deals, and connected the scores to the deal pipeline so analysts verify each one. Also manage investor relations for a live Series A raise, drafting updates and meeting materials, with $500K+ committed so far.
