Microforge: AI-Powered Deal Sourcing for Top-Tier VCs
Find the next great startup before it's a startup.
Introduction
Microforge is an agentic platform that helps venture capitalists discover high-potential open-source projects before they turn into companies. It runs a fully autonomous pipeline — ingesting raw GitHub data, filtering for signal, then deploying AI agents to research and score each project on the dimensions VCs actually care about. The result: a continuously refreshed shortlist of founders worth meeting, surfaced early.

Used by a16z, Sequoia, Elevation, and Accel to source deals from the open-source ecosystem.
How it works
- Ingest — pulls raw GitHub activity across the open-source landscape.
- Filter — separates noise from genuine early signal.
- Research — AI agents dig into each candidate autonomously.
- Score — every project is ranked so investors focus on the highest-potential opportunities first.
