Scaling investing workflows with AI
The goal of Vantedge AI, formerly known as 8vdx, is to provide an Agent Marketplace of curated agents to enable investors to get an investing edge to generate alpha by leveraging AI. Our insight to build this marketplace comes from our experience from running a credit hedge fund for 15 years and as a Y Combinator backed startup, we understand the complexities of AI and are here to offer a complete infrastructure to funds and startups alike. Our platform is built to serve the investment community with the highest security, compliance, and infrastructure tailored for institutional investors.
FundOS by VantedgeAI is an AI-native operating system designed for fund managers. It connects to existing data sources and runs AI agents across the full fund lifecycle from deal sourcing to K-1, providing an audit-logged, integrated platform.
FundOS sits on top of a fund's existing stack, connects via MCP to sources like Goldman prime files, Salesforce, QuickBooks, SharePoint, Egnyte, Bloomberg, and more, without data migration. It provides AI agents that perform recon, risk monitoring, document analysis, and capital call drafting across modules (deal CRM, LP CRM, ODD + VDR, investor portal, risk, pricer, transactions, CIM builder, CFO center, syndication engine, HF ops). Agents propose actions which are approved or edited by users, with every action audit-logged. The platform offers a single shared data layer across the full lifecycle (deal sourcing to K-1), configurable by module with cross-module state sharing.
Who it’s for: Hedge funds, PE/VC funds, private credit managers, and similar fund structures that operate across multiple workflows and require audit-logged AI automation on their existing data stack.
Live in production; SOC 2 Type I; starter free tier; enterprise customization available; multiple module configurations.

Enabling startups to fuel their growth through our fundraising stack and alternative sources of capital
The company launches a fundraising CRM to help startups organize leads, manage follow-ups, upload and track fundraising activity, target investors with higher conversion rates and larger check sizes, and visualize progress on a dashboard. It targets startups, including those fundraising from the S22 batch, and offers initial feedback sessions with a $100 Amazon gift card for the first 20 startups.
