Meet founders before they raise.

See who is building, and what, from the commits that land months before the deck.

Use cases

Finding founders

  • Who left OpenAI or DeepMind to ship something new?
  • Which engineers who say they are in stealth pushed code this week?
  • Who is building open source GPU inference tooling and has not raised yet?
  • Find more founders who build like the best founder in our portfolio.
  • Which former Stripe engineers in New York are building something of their own?

Diligence

  • Write me a diligence brief on this founder’s code and collaborators.
  • Who has this founder built with before, and are they strong?
  • How fast is this founding team actually shipping?
  • Which technical people would this founder likely hire first?

For VCs, scouts and platform teams.

First meetings with founders before the round.

Today
Funding news and warm intros, after the fact.

Builders spotted from what they ship, months earlier.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Ask in plain words

    Describe who you want in Claude, or send it to the API: a place, a company, a repo or the kind of work.

  2. Step 2

    Get builders ranked by their work

    Each person comes back with the repos they own and contribute to, their contribution garden, a cracked score and a one-line why.

  3. Step 3

    Use it where you work

    Keep a shortlist, write the fields to your CRM, or build them into your product over the API.

Run it in Claude, or build on the API. See how Vamo compares with GitHub search.

Questions teams ask first

How does Vamo find founders in stealth?

It reads what people ship on GitHub alongside their LinkedIn history. A Stealth title with fresh commits shows who is building, and the repos show what.

Can I search by past employer or school?

Yes. Filter by where people worked, when they left and where they studied, then rank them by what they build.

Can I check a founder before we meet?

Yes. Deep research reads a person's code, collaborators and history and writes it up as one report.

Do I need to write code?

No. Ask in plain words from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any AI agent. Engineers who want to build on Vamo can call the API directly.

How fresh is the signal?

Contribution calendars are read from GitHub and refreshed every day, and Discover lists are rebuilt every hour. A founder's new commits show on their Vamo profile within a day.

How do I get started?
