How I Used Runner H

My Automation Architecture:

    • Configured Runner H to cross-reference Crunchbase, LinkedIn, and news sources
    • Implemented fallback protocols when encountering paywalls or CAPTCHAs
  2. Smart Document Generation

    • Designed templates for investment memos with dynamic data insertion
    • Automated 5-slide pitch decks with consistent branding
  3. Decision-Ready Outputs

    • Programmed confidence scoring for estimated data
    • Added urgency flags for time-sensitive opportunities

Technical Breakthroughs:

  • Solved the "empty Crunchbase" problem by switching to LinkedIn job postings
  • Transformed news sentiment analysis into risk assessment grades
  • Built self-correcting valuation models using team size benchmarks
