11 Claude skills that take your startup from idea to funded: competitor research, investor matching, a business plan, a pitch deck and a closer that books your investor calls.
Free, MIT, no signup, no API key. The tools are plain Python that read free
public data (the App Store's own search and review feeds, SEC EDGAR) and do
the arithmetic. Everything they write lands in a seed/ folder in your
project, so every skill picks up where the last one stopped.
One finds the weak points of your competitors, straight from their own one-star reviews. Another researches the best investors for your idea, from public sources, and ranks them by fit with the reasons and the links. Then one turns your idea into a business plan, and another turns the plan into a pitch deck.
And the craziest one is the Closer. It writes a personalised outreach email to every investor on your list, keeps track of every conversation, sorts the replies, and follows up until an investor call is booked, with the calendar invite ready to send. So all you have to do is show up.
Nothing leaves your inbox until you say yes. The Closer drafts. Claude sends through your own Gmail connector only after you approve the batch, with a daily cap, an opt-out line in every email, and a thread that stops for good on a "no".
Paste this into Claude:
https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/seed-skill
install skill
Or as a plugin, in Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add Jakeschincariol/seed-skill
/plugin install seed-skill@seed-skill
Claude Code namespaces plugin skills, so installed as a plugin they show up as
/seed-skill:seed-scout and so on. Copy the folders instead if you want plain
/seed-scout:
git clone https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/seed-skill.git
cp -r seed-skill/seed-* ~/.claude/skills/
Project-local instead of global: copy the same folders into your repo's
.claude/skills/. No Claude Code at all? Paste any single SKILL.md at the
top of a chat and it runs as a mode. You lose the Python tools, but the method
works.
The tools need Python 3.8 or newer. Nothing to pip install. The investor
finder's SEC search asks you to identify yourself, as the SEC requires: put
your name and email in seed/config.json ("sec_user_agent": "Your Name you@example.com") or in the SEC_USER_AGENT environment variable.
To send email and book calls, connect Gmail and Google Calendar in Claude (Customize, Connectors) and set their send tools to "Needs approval".
| command | job | what it does |
|---|---|---|
/seed-scout |
Competitor Scout | Finds the weak points of your competitors: reads up to 500 of each rival app's latest App Store reviews and counts what the one- and two-star ones complain about. |
/seed-investors |
Investor Finder | Researches the best investors for your idea from public sources and SEC Form D filings, then ranks them by fit with the reasons and the links. |
/seed-plan |
Business Planner | Turns your idea into a business plan: the nine sections, with the unit economics worked out and every number cross-checked. |
/seed-deck |
Pitch Deck Designer | Turns the plan into a 10-slide pitch deck, one self-contained file you can present or print to PDF. |
/seed-closer |
The Closer | Sends personalised outreach to investors (only after your yes), manages the conversations, follows up and books the call. |
/seed-market |
Market Sizer | Sizes your market top-down and bottom-up, TAM, SAM and SOM, with a source on every input. |
/seed-model |
Financial Modeler | Builds the 36-month model: revenue, burn, runway, the month you break even and where the money goes. |
/seed-coach |
Pitch Coach | Drills you on the hard questions this investor will ask, tailored to your numbers and your competitors. |
/seed-terms |
Term Sheet Reader | Reads a SAFE or a term sheet in plain English, does the dilution math and flags the clauses to ask a lawyer about. |
/seed-dataroom |
Data Room Builder | Builds the data room investors ask for and tells you what is missing. |
/seed-updates |
Investor Updates | Writes the monthly update that keeps investors, and the ones who said "not now", warm. |
Everything lands in a seed/ folder in your project, and each skill reads
what the last one wrote:
scout -> market -> model -> plan -> deck (the story and the numbers)
investors -> closer -> coach (the raise: who, the outreach, the call)
terms -> dataroom (when an investor says yes)
updates (every month, before and after)
Say what you want in plain words ("find my competitors' weak points", "who should I pitch", "write the deck", "follow up with everyone who hasn't replied") and Claude picks the skill.
The startup in the reel is made up: Leashly, "a dog-walking app with flat prices and a backup walker on every walk", raising a $1.5M seed. The competitors and the market numbers are real.
/seed-scout read the 500 most recent App Store reviews of Rover and of
Wag! on October 25, 2026. Rover (4.9 stars, 515,771 ratings): 106 of its 341
one- and two-star reviews mention fees. Wag! (4.8 stars, 67,447 ratings): 81
of its 324 mention cancellations. Those are the weak points: fees, and
walkers who cancel at the last minute./seed-market sized it from APPA's 2026 report: $158 billion of US pet
spending in 2025, and 71 million US homes (53%) with a dog./seed-model ran 36 months at $25 a walk and a 15% take rate, with the
$1.5M raise (the example assumptions in seed-model/): $467,400 of revenue
in year 1 and $2,993,520 in year 3, $2.23 of contribution per walk, LTV:CAC
of 4.24x, peak burn $82,801 in month 5, break-even in month 29, and cash
that never runs out (its low point is $252,553)./seed-plan and /seed-deck turned that into the nine-section plan
and the 10-slide deck that ends on "$1.5M seed to launch in 3 cities"./seed-investors ranked the investors who back pet and local-services
marketplaces at seed (the reel's names, like Maya Chen of Northlight
Ventures, are fictional too)./seed-closer drafted one email per investor, each with its own first
line ("Saw you led two pet-care seed rounds..."). After the yes, it
followed up on day 3 and day 7 of the ones that went quiet, sorted the
replies, answered Maya's take-rate question from the plan, and when she
wrote "Thursday 10am works", wrote the invite: Leashly x Northlight
Ventures, Thursday November 5, 10:00 AM ET./seed-coach prepared the 20-minute call, and /seed-terms and
/seed-dataroom are there for what comes after it.No promise of funding. This is software that drafts, researches and does arithmetic. Investors decide whether to invest, based on your business. A better deck and a faster follow-up help; they do not guarantee a check.
Nothing sends without your yes. Only /seed-closer can lead to an email,
and only after you approve that batch in the chat. Set your Gmail connector's
send tool to "Needs approval" (Customize, Connectors, tool permissions), never
"Always allow", so Claude's own "Allow once / Deny" card is a second check.
Every email carries your real name and an opt-out line. A "no", an opt-out or
a bounce ends that thread for good. Default cap: 20 new emails a day.
Public sources only. The investor finder reads public pages (a firm's own site, public profiles found through search, SEC EDGAR, the press) and keeps the link for every fact. It never logs in anywhere, never scrapes behind a login and never scrapes LinkedIn. Check a fact before you lean on it in an email.
Not legal advice. /seed-terms explains the common clauses and does the
dilution math. Have a startup lawyer read anything before you sign it.
Not investment advice. The model and the market size are only as good as the assumptions you give them. They are there to make your thinking visible to you and to an investor, not to predict the future.
The data is free and public. The App Store's search and review feeds are not an official API and can change or rate-limit. SEC EDGAR asks every automated request to say who is asking.
