AMINO Capital, a Palo Alto–based venture capital firm managing over $ 1 billion in assets, announced the launch of its proprietary AI-powered ARM (Amino Resource Management) and LP Expert System (LPM) — a groundbreaking internal platform built entirely by AMINO’s full-time engineering team.
With an investment focus on AI, data moats, and network effects, AMINO Capital has funded hundreds of companies from seed to growth stage across Consumer, PLG SaaS, Frontier Tech, and Blockchain. Its portfolio includes over 20 unicorns, 35+ companies valued over $100M, and 35 successful exits, such as Chime, Webflow, Rippling, Grail, Weee, Replit, Turing, Dfinity, OmiseGo, Oasis Labs, Instawork, Wetravel, EquityZen (acquired by Morgan Stanley), AIFI.io, Wyze, Writesonic, D-Matrix, and Beacons.ai.
🚀 From Black Box to Real-Time Transparency
Traditionally, limited partners (LPs) receive fund updates quarterly or annually. AMINO Capital’s new system transforms that paradigm:
Real-Time Visibility: When AMINO invests in a company today, LPs can see it tomorrow.
Instant Actionability: LPs can immediately express interest in follow-on funding, customer introductions, or strategic collaborations.
AI-Augmented Intelligence: The system continuously tracks over 10,000 startups, automatically generating dynamic SWOT analyses and evolving scoring profiles based on new data.
🔍 How It Works
Automated Due Diligence: Real-time data from LinkedIn, Twitter, product launches, and founder backgrounds feed into AI models for structured insights.
Dynamic Scoring: Startup attributes (e.g., academic background, prior experience, traction) are recalibrated daily for precision.
Custom Filters: LPs can identify and monitor startups matching their strategic criteria(e.g., Stanford CS + ex-Google + e-commerce) — all within contractual disclosure limits.
Expert Layer: Combining technical depth (including Google Image Search’s inventor among partners) and global influence (Larry Li’s 1M+ followers), AMINO provides actionable amplification for founders.
🤝 Why It Matters
For Founders: Faster exposure and traction through AMINO’s technical and network-driven platform.
For LPs: Transparent, data-driven insights enabling earlier engagement and co-investment.
For the Industry: A fundamental shift from delayed reporting to real-time, AI-enabled collaboration between LPs and GPs.
⚖️ Compliance & Confidentiality
AMINO’s AI transparency operates strictly within LPA, side letter, and NDA boundaries.Sensitive data (valuations, customer details, competitive strategies) remain confidential. The system enhances collaboration while ensuring fiduciary compliance and founder privacy.
“This isn’t just automation — it’s a new foundation for trust and collaboration in venture capital,”said Larry Li, Managing Partner at AMINO Capital. “We believe transparency drives better partnerships, faster innovation, and ultimately, more meaningful impact.”
