How VCs Are Putting AI Agents to Work
Almost every VC uses AI. Very few can name a job an agent now does for them from start to finish.
This session is about closing that gap.
Yohei Nakajima created BabyAGI, the open-source project that helped kick off the autonomous agent movement, and builds agents for his own investing at Untapped VC. Lindel Eakman has backed emerging managers for more than 20 years, from UTIMCO to Foundry to Eden Road Capital. As an LP, he sees how firms actually operate behind the pitch deck. Scarlett Pierce leads product marketing for Carta's investor products, including its AI plugins for fund managers. Joining Carta via the CapDesk acquisition, she acts as the company's product spokesperson and is a product-led growth expert.
One of them builds the agents. One judges the firms using them. One helps firms connect to them for maximum value. Together they'll get specific about how agents are changing the way VCs source, diligence, and compete.
You'll walk away knowing:
Which VC workflows agents can own today, and which still need a human
How Yohei uses agents in his own investing process
What LPs think when a GP talks up an "AI edge," and what actually earns credibility
Where agents break down, especially when they touch fund and portfolio data
How to connect agents to the systems your firm already runs, with a short live look at how Carta plugs into your own agent workflow
