Added "apply_to_mode_vc" (18 tools before, 19 now)
Send a pitch to Mode VC — Sends a founder's pitch to the Mode VC team (pre-seed and seed AI companies, checks of US$1M to 5M; see get_mode_vc_thesis_and_criteria). This tool shares data: the founder name, email, company, one-line pitch, stage and deck link go to Mode VC. Show the founder exactly what will be sent and set consent to true only after they agree. Set office_hours to true to also ask for a 20-minute call. Same intake as the form at https://modevc.com/contact. Nothing is shared with anyone outside Mode VC.

Added "get_daily_ai_raises" (17 tools before, 18 now)
Daily AI Raises from SEC Form D, Scored for Distribution Moat — Mode VC's daily read on AI private markets: every new SEC Form D notice from one filing day that public evidence shows is an AI company, scored 1 to 5 with Mode VC's Distribution Moat rubric, with the evidence and reasoning behind each score (the company's own pricing, integrations, customers, docs and product pages when it links them), the status of each distribution lever, atlas partners named in the filing (confirmed and possible kept apart) and the firm's Form ADV private fund assets where that match is confirmed. Filings the evidence cannot settle are listed as unclear, not guessed. A Fo…

83(b) Election, QSBS and Delaware Franchise Tax Calculator — Computes the 83(b) filing deadline and tax on the grant, the federal tax saved by a QSBS (Section 1202) exclusion at a given sale price, and Delaware franchise tax under both methods. Federal tax only, top federal rates assumed, no state tax or AMT. Same math as https://modevc.com/tools/83b-qsbs-calculator. Illustrative model, not tax advice.
Burn Multiple and Runway Calculator — Projects cash month by month from current cash, revenue growth and expense growth: net burn, runway, the month cash hits zero, break-even month, default alive or dead, burn multiple, and the same with an expense cut. Same math as https://modevc.com/tools/burn-multiple-runway. Month 1 is the current month; the search runs 120 months.
Cofounder Equity Split and ARR Multiple Calculator — Splits founder equity from weighted contribution scores (product and IP 40%, distribution 35%, commitment 25%) after the option pool and Founder Institute FAST advisor grants, and applies a heuristic SaaS and AI-native ARR multiple. Same math as https://modevc.com/tools/cofounder-equity-valuation. The multiple is a rule of thumb from the web page, not a market valuation. Illustrative, not legal advice.
Fundraising Readiness: Data Room Score, Runway and Burn Multiple — Scores diligence readiness from a weighted 12-item data room checklist (overall, Corporate and Legal, and each pillar), and computes runway and burn multiple from cash, burn and ARR growth. Same scoring as https://modevc.com/tools/fundraising-readiness. The investor-update email draft on that page is not included.
LLM Inference Cost and Gross Margin Calculator — Estimates monthly LLM spend, cost per user and per request, prompt-cache savings and gross margin for a usage profile on one of 8 models, compares all 8 models, and prices an 80/20 hybrid of DeepSeek and Claude 3.7 Sonnet. Same math and the same fixed price table as https://modevc.com/tools/llm-inference-calculator. The prices are that page's illustrative table, not a live price feed.
SaaS Metrics Calculator (Rule of 40, NRR, GRR, Magic Number, CAC Payback) — Computes Rule of 40, net and gross revenue retention, SaaS magic number, CAC payback and spend per new customer from the numbers you give, with the public benchmark each is judged against. Leave a group of inputs out to get n/a for the metrics that need it. Same math as https://modevc.com/tools/saas-metrics-calculator.
SAFE Conversion and Dilution Calculator — Models how stacked SAFEs convert at a priced round and what the founders keep, including the option pool top-up (pool in the pre-money or post-money). Same math as https://modevc.com/tools/safe-calculator. Illustrative model, not legal or tax advice.
Term Sheet Exit Waterfall Calculator — Splits the sale proceeds between one preferred class and common holders for a liquidation multiple and participation clause (non-participating, participating uncapped, participating capped at 3x). Returns the conversion point, a sensitivity table and the three standard structures side by side. Same math as https://modevc.com/tools/term-sheet-waterfall. Illustrative model: one preferred class, no seniority stack, no debt or fees.
SEC Filings Linked to a VC Firm — For a firm in the Mode VC Investor Atlas, returns Form ADV adviser records matched to it, recent Form D filings that name its partners, and a recent-activity roll-up. Every match carries a tier: "confirmed" matches are the only verified links; "probable" and "possible" are weaker signals and are hidden unless include_weak_matches is true. Returns "dataset not available yet" until Mode VC has loaded the data.
Recent SEC Form D Filings (Venture and Tech) — Lists recent SEC Form D filings (private offerings notices, public EDGAR data) from venture funds and technology companies over the last few filing days, with issuer, amount sold, related persons and the EDGAR link for each filing. A Form D is a notice a company or fund files after it starts selling securities. It is not a funding announcement and the amounts are as self-reported. Returns "dataset not available yet" until Mode VC has loaded the data.
