NUVC MCP Server

Two layers of VC-grade intelligence for Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent: a Judgement Layer that scores any startup or fund with IC-ready conviction (not a generic number), and a Matching Layer that finds the right investors from 9,000+ verified profiles. Built for founders validating a raise, VCs screening deals, and LPs screening funds.

Usage Examples

Once connected, just ask your AI agent:

Founders:

• "Score my startup idea — an AI tool that helps solo founders validate ideas"
• "Find investors who back AI/ML startups at seed stage in Australia"
• "What's the market like for AI-powered HR tools?"
• "Roast this idea: Uber for dog walking but with blockchain"
• "I have $1.2M ARR, $80K burn, 18 months runway. How do my metrics stack up for Series A?"

VCs:

• "Score this pitch: [paste founder's pitch text]"
• "Find co-investors who do seed-stage FinTech deals in Southeast Asia"
• "This founder says $500K ARR, 15% MoM growth, $200K burn at Seed. Run the math."
• "We're raising a $30M Fund II with 2% fee, 20% carry, $500K avg check. What does portfolio construction look like?"
• "Evaluate this fund: $50M AUM, 2.5x TVPI, 1.2x DPI, 18% net IRR, 2020 vintage"
