Startup journalism has been quietly disappearing for years. Major publications cut early-stage coverage. Independent research thinned out. The result is a venture market trying to allocate capital with less and less external signal on the companies it is funding.
Decile Group just shipped a fix.
Startuply.vc is an AI-powered research platform that writes a venture-ready profile on any startup in a few minutes. Each profile pairs a TechCrunch-style news article with a private investor section that includes revenue projections, risk analysis, and scenario modeling. In the first six days of a limited release, the platform crossed 1,000 startup profiles. At current pace it will publish over 60,000 in its first year.
The system runs an agentic AI workflow. It pulls public information from across the web, including X posts, Glassdoor reviews, news mentions, and fundraising history. A few hundred searches get compiled into a research file, handed to AI writing personas like "Pulse Raman" and "Cash Quintero," each running on a top frontier model, then fact-checked by a separate model before publication. The output reads like a senior tech reporter wrote it. The catch is it is generated for any company in the world in minutes.
Profiles already published include OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, SpaceX, Coinbase, Perplexity, Cursor, and Shopify. VCs inside the Decile Group network are using the tool for sourcing, diligence prep, and portfolio monitoring. As Adeo Ressi, CEO of Decile Group and inventor of the SAFE Note, put it: "I am reading Startuply every hour, and it is fascinating."
