What is Startup Info — Portable Prompt?
This skill transforms any LLM with web search capabilities into a high-level startup research analyst. It systematically scours the web—including Crunchbase, GitHub, and news outlets—to provide a structured, data-driven briefing on any given company name or URL. By leveraging Openclaw Skills, users can bypass manual data gathering and get immediate insights into funding rounds, founder backgrounds, and competitive landscapes.
The tool is designed for portability, meaning it works seamlessly across various AI coding agents and LLM interfaces. It eliminates the need for manual browsing by synthesizing complex financial and technical data into a concise, professional format suitable for venture capitalists, sales teams, and market researchers.
Startup Info — Portable Prompt Use Cases
- Preparing for venture capital due diligence or investor meetings.
- Benchmarking competitors and identifying market differentiators during product development.
- Researching potential B2B sales leads to understand their financial health and decision-makers.
- Evaluating open-source traction and developer engagement for technical startups.
How Startup Info — Portable Prompt Works
- The user provides a company name or website URL to the agent configured with this skill.
- The system executes a series of parallel search queries targeting Crunchbase, LinkedIn, GitHub, and recent news articles.
- The agent cross-references funding amounts and dates across multiple sources to ensure data integrity.
- Information is processed through a strict logical framework to identify the company stage, vertical, and moat.
- The final output is synthesized into a standardized, investor-style briefing template with zero filler.
Startup Info — Portable Prompt Setup
To integrate this capability into your workflow using Openclaw Skills, follow these steps:
- Copy the system prompt provided in the SKILL.md file.

# Configure the agent to use the Startup Info prompt as its primary persona
