Workflow Steps
Gmail
Filter portfolio updates
Set up Gmail filters to automatically label emails from portfolio companies containing keywords like 'monthly update', 'investor update', or 'portfolio report'. Create a dedicated folder for these emails.
Zapier
Extract email content

Use Zapier's OpenAI integration to send email content to GPT-4 with a prompt to extract key metrics: revenue, burn rate, runway, team size, key milestones, and any red flags. Format the output as structured JSON data.
Google Sheets
