@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!
Best product ever!! Super excited about the initiative Looking forward to use it frequently! @yigit great initiative, super proud!
Congrats! This is a great product to improve efficiency and accuracy of early-stage investers.
Sevgili Yiğit, yeni yazılımınız Product Hunt Vela OS için tebrik eder, başarılarınızın devamını dilerim. Hayırlı ve uğurlu gelsin.
I recommend this app to all investors, especially those who want to improve the accuracy of their decisions. Vela OS is truly impressive in its ability to use AI agents to analyze startups and identify emerging markets.
An exceptionally innovative and unconventional approach to revolutionizing the industry.
Hey @yigit, congrats on the launch and a cool idea! To play a devils advocate - if Vela OS is three time better compared to tier-1 VCs, why not just raise a fund and start investing into startups? Why share it with others? :)
Yigit, this is remarkable! It's amazing to see how you've added a sophisticated layer of intelligence and data-driven judgement to what we've been fooled to view as an art / matter of luck until now. Remarkable work as ever from you and the kick-ass team!
Great job on launching Vela OS! Can you share more about how the AI agents work and what sets your product apart from other AI-native operating systems on the market?
Great product with a solid academic approach backing its stellar roadmap. I would wholeheartedly encourage to give it a try, you'll be impressed.
Vela is one of the most innovative VCs in the game today and the launch of Vela OS is just another example of how they are operating on a different level. I have known @yigit for several years now and watching him work his magic as an investor and a builder is inspiring. I have been playing with Vela OS and the product is a ton of fun while also being quite informative. Congratulations on the launch to everyone behind the product!
I used to be in Equity Research. Was fired and got back to coding. I did not plan all this. (evil laugh)
G luck with your launch.
I really appreciate the purpose-driven approach of this product! The implemented prompts are intuitive and make the interaction smooth and engaging. The clean user interface adds to the overall seamless experience, making it easy to navigate. Additionally, the graph representation of data is a fantastic feature, providing clear and insightful visualizations that enhance understanding. Overall, it's a well-designed tool that effectively meets user needs. Good job!
Congrats on the launch! Vela OS sounds like a game-changer for startup investors. How does it differentiate from other AI platforms out there?
