My Openclaw agent is crawling the Internet, looking for the next billion dollar startup. Will it be you? 🦞

Investors spend countless hours on Crunchbase and Product Hunt looking for great companies. What if I could have AI do it for me while I sleep?

This morning, I gave it a try… 

Openclaw the Startup Sleuth

I created a simple new Openclaw skill to give me a daily digest of promising companies. 

I had Grok help me with the prompt. Grok came up with an awesome, detailed prompt to find startups in my strike zone. AI is great at writing prompts for itself — I need to do more of this!

I gave that prompt to Klaus, a hosted version of Openclaw. Openclaw will run a search every morning to find the best early-stage startups.

My New Agent Delivers His First Report

Openclaw gave me a great list of promising companies. It gave a simple summary of what they do, details on the team, and a link to their website.

I wish every founder could be this concise!

Of the five startups that OpenClaw found, Pallma AI was the most promising. 

It protects AI agents from prompt injection, which is a serious risk for anyone using Openclaw. That’s why I ran Openclaw in a hosted environment rather than my own machine.

With more companies adopting AI agents, making sure they’re secure is a huge opportunity.

Palma.ai has already raised $1.6M, making it a bit late-stage for me. But I love what they’re doing! 

Wrap-Up

This Openclaw skill was easy to set up, ran in just a couple of minutes, and produced great results.

Still, I find running an automation on Grok Tasks even easier. I use Grok for everything else, so running recurring tasks there makes sense.

The interface in Grok Tasks is also simpler and easier to use. Instead of presenting you with a blank text box, it gives you fields to fill in to determine when to run your task. 

Still, Openclaw can be very useful for investors. If your agent finds one good new investment a year, it’s more than paid for itself!

How are you using OpenClaw?
