Daily funding and M&A radar with Slack alert and Coda log
Each weekday scans Brave for fresh funding rounds and acquisitions in a target category, filters to material deals above a size threshold, logs each to a Coda tracker.

What it does
Keeps a running record of money moving in your category. It searches Brave daily for funding, raise, and acquisition news, uses OpenAI to extract structured fields (company, amount, stage, investors, source), filters to deals that clear a materiality threshold, appends each as a row in a Coda deal tracker, and posts a compact Slack digest so the team sees it without opening the doc.
When to use it
You want a low-effort, always-on watch on category funding and M&A, feeding both a durable tracker and a daily team ping. Useful for VC scouts, corp-dev, and analysts maintaining a deal log.
