Analyze VC research reports from a16z, Paradigm, Messari, and top-tier firms. Extract actionable insights, identify emerging trends, and map technology outlooks to product strategy and investment decisions.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

How to install
mdr add nirholas/three.ws/vc-research-intelligence@sha256:4914f502ba17f4cdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260501.87cefc9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
