Claude-VC

Your AI-powered venture capital analyst — right inside Claude.

Claude-VC adds VC-specific tools to Claude: deal screening, investment memos, cap table math, term sheet red-flags, financial models, KPI dashboards, and portfolio reports. No spreadsheets, no switching tabs — just ask Claude.

Get Started in 60 Seconds

If you use the Claude desktop app (Cowork)

1. Open Claude and go to the Cowork tab
2. Click Customize in the left sidebar, then Browse plugins
3. Go to the Personal tab and click Add marketplace from GitHub
4. Paste this URL: https://github.com/yugui923/claude-vc
5. Make sure the plugin is enabled

If you use Claude Code (terminal or VS Code / JetBrains)

Run these two commands:

claude plugin marketplace add yugui923/claude-vc
claude plugin install claude-vc@claude-vc

Or install via the Agent Skills CLI:

npx skills add yugui923/claude-vc

Try it

Once installed, type this into Claude:

/vc https://stripe.com

Claude will automatically screen the company and write an investment memo (the memo already includes a tailored due diligence checklist). You can also give it a pitch deck PDF or describe a company in your own words:

/vc /path/to/pitch-deck.pdf
/vc "B2B SaaS company doing $5M ARR in the developer tools space"

That's the /vc command — it chains everything together. For more control, use one of the six sub-commands below.

What You Can Do

Six commands cover the full VC workflow, organized by what you're doing:

Command	What It Does
/vc	All-in-one — screens and writes a memo (with DD checklist built in)
/vc screen <input(s)>	Score one startup 0-100, or compare 2-4 side by side. --full spawns 6 specialist agents.
/vc memo <input>	Write a structured investment memo with DD checklist. --diligence-only emits just the checklist.
/vc terms <file>	Review a term sheet, SAFE, or convertible note and flag anything non-standard
/vc captable <input>	Model ownership, dilution, waterfall payouts, and exit scenarios
/vc model <input>	Build a 3-statement financial model with 3-5 year projections
/vc portfolio <data>	Portfolio report by default. --kpi for a single-company dashboard, --returns for IRR/MOIC/DPI/TVPI/PME.

Type /vc help in Claude for the full argument reference, or see the User Guide for detailed usage of each command.

Updating

• Claude desktop app: updates appear automatically in the Customize panel
• Claude Code: run /plugin marketplace update

Requirements

• Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise subscription
• Python 3.10 or newer (used behind the scenes for financial calculations)

You don't need to install Python packages or manage dependencies — the plugin handles that automatically.
