@cem_ozcelik, thanks so much for hunting us!
Hey PH’ers,
I'm Yiğit, co-founder & GP of Vela Partners. Today we are excited to launch Vela OS!
In 2017, we discovered that early-stage investors who invest in innovation were not innovating in their very own businesses. No AI, no data, just intuition. That is such an oxymoron, isn’t it? 🙂
We perceived this as a scientific research problem – helping innovation-focused capital find the right projects faster. The end result is Vela OS, an AI-native operating system making startup investors 10x more accurate and efficient than a traditional VC firm.
The core value is simple: source and pick startups 10x more accurately than the market index to bring superior returns. Here are the benchmarks:
- 19% (Vela AI)
- 6% (tier-1 VCs)
- 3% (YCombinator)
- 1.9% (US Market index) outlier rate.
We’re using Vela OS every day, as investors and builders. We open-source code, publish papers and give Vela OS access to our limited partners, portfolio companies and entrepreneurs in residence.
In terms of features, agents, tools, datasets, heuristics and workflows are reflections of how a VC brain works. They are purpose-built AI agents and ML-powered expert tools for various use-cases such as sourcing, relationship intelligence, influence mapping, success analyzer and calculator.
We’ll provide access to everyone during this launch. We’re so excited to hear your feedback!
