Overview
Startup Analysis is an agent skill from the Finance Skills collection. Name a startup and it gathers public information from the web, then writes a report from three angles: a VC investor deciding whether to invest, a job applicant weighing an offer, and a founder checking the company health. Each section ends with a verdict or grade, and a closing part shows where the three views agree or differ. It suits people weighing a startup job offer, investors and founders.
One report shows the investor, job applicant and founder views side by side, so you can see where they disagree.

Good to know
You have a job offer from a startup and want to understand its funding, runway and risks before you answer. The skill researches public information and reports from investor, job seeker and founder viewpoints.
Limits
- Private startups publish little, so many figures are inferred from signals such as hiring or press; the skill asks for the company website when search finds too little. Treat verdicts as a starting point, not advice.
