Why does this even exist.

[ Who ? ]

Takumi. AKA DUCKM4573R. AKA Wei.

Just a deep tech nerd who stumbled into a chaotic career and decided to make it enjoyable rather than suffer through it. Former cofounder of a 3D print & drone startup back in the 2010s. Became a finance guy after the acquisition. Nobody saw that coming, including me.

Currently: one-man-army foreign VC from Taiwan, based in Silicon Valley, running on caffeine and stubbornness.

As a foreign VC operating as a one-man army, finding / contacting / getting a reply from startups is a genuine pain in the ass. So I had a moment:

“Fuck me dead. This is taking too many of my hours and I need more time for video games and anime. I'm building a system to do the scouting for me.”

So I wrote 6 scripts and let them run for 10 days. Filtered out 200K companies.

Since I'm in Silicon Valley and vibe coding is already a thing here, I saw no reason not to use it as leverage. The 6 scripts became 15 scripts. Then I assembled them into Chimera AI-VC — a system that can replace 95% of myself.

Venture Hub is a fun project of mine that happened to work pretty well. So I thought — why not put it online and charge $42? That's affordable for any investor and way cheaper than the alternative (which is your time, which is not cheap).

Two purpose-built small language models I built in 2025. Plus a 50-robot army deployed in the cloud. Together, they power an overbuilt, overpowered, workable MVP that is — genuinely — made by VC, for VC.

And since I used to be a startup founder myself, I know how brutal it is to do everything at once. So I put in 150+ fine-tuning iterations specifically to save effort on the startup side too: the system reads directly from websites — no decks, no forms, no performance. Founders who need more time to figure things out get a 9-month grace period before the system checks in again.
