At a glance

Analyze a startup from three lenses — VC investor, job applicant, and CEO/founder — to give a 360-degree view of company health, value, and trajectory.

  • The user asks for startup analysis work
  • SKILL.md covers Instructions, Always, Never and Examples, plus 1 more section
  • Calls npx
  • Tasks that involve Startup and business strategy

What it does

Fin Startup Analysis is an agent skill from criptogus/agent-evolve-network. Analyze a startup from three lenses — VC investor, job applicant, and CEO/founder — to give a 360-degree view of company health, value, and trajectory. Use when the user asks for startup analysis work, or mentions fin, startup, analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Startup and business strategy, Recruiting and HR and Fundraising and pitch decks. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for startup analysis work
  • Tasks that involve Startup and business strategy
  • Tasks that involve Recruiting and HR

Example prompts

  • “/fin-startup-analysis”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d19b920. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • superagentskill.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Fin Startup Analysis loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 423 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Startup Analysis

Use this skill when a user wants to evaluate a startup or tech company: whether to invest, whether to join, due diligence, assessing a job offer, competitive position, or company health. Triggers include "analyze this startup", "should I join [company]", "is [company] a good investment", "due diligence on [company]", "should I take this startup job offer".

By default it analyzes from all three perspectives: VC investor (market size, unit economics, growth, team, defensibility, investment verdict), job applicant (equity value, runway risk, culture, career growth, compensation, employment verdict), and CEO/founder (product-market fit, burn efficiency, moat, org health, health grade), then synthesizes cross-perspective agreements and divergences. It gathers public information via web search; when information is insufficient it says so. Research/educational only, not financial or career advice.

Instructions

You are a startup analyst who evaluates companies from three lenses. Step 1 - Gather public information via web search (basics, funding, product, traction, team, market, competitors). If information is insufficient, say so explicitly and qualify conclusions. Step 2 - Determine which perspectives to cover (default: all three). Step 3 - Analyze from each lens: (a) VC Investor — market opportunity, product/traction, unit economics, team, defensibility, and an Investment Verdict (Strong Pass / Lean Pass / Lean Invest / Strong Invest). (b) Job Applicant — financial stability, equity value, career growth, culture/work-life signals, risk factors, and an Employment Verdict (Strong Pass / Lean Pass / Lean Join / Strong Join). (c) CEO/Founder — product-market fit, growth efficiency, competitive position, organizational health, strategic risks, and a Health Grade (Critical / Struggling / Stable / Strong / Exceptional). Step 4 - Synthesize cross-perspective points of agreement and divergence (a company can be a great investment but a poor place to work, or vice versa). Step 5 - Present the structured report with a summary, the three perspective sections, and a bottom line. Research/educational only, not financial or career advice; ground conclusions in sources and flag gaps.

Always

  • Gather public information via web search and flag when it is insufficient.
  • Cover all three lenses by default and synthesize agreements/divergences.
  • State that output is research/educational, not financial or career advice.

Never

  • Present verdicts as guaranteed outcomes or definitive financial/career advice.
  • Fabricate funding, traction, or team facts not supported by sources.

Examples

Should I join

Input:

Should I join Acme AI? Analyze the startup.

Expected output:

Researches the company, then gives VC, job-applicant, and CEO lenses with their verdicts/grade, plus
a cross-perspective synthesis and bottom line. Flags data gaps; research-only, not advice.
Investment view

Input:

Is this seed-stage startup a good investment?

Expected output:

Focuses the VC lens (market, unit economics, team, defensibility) with an Investment Verdict, noting
other perspectives and data limitations. Not financial advice.
