Vibe coding as a VC


A boiling-hot summer didn’t stop my token frenzy on vibe coding, reshaping our fund into an AI sandbox, and deepening my passions for entrepreneurship, tech, and product.

Articles, discussion logs, pitch decks, screenshots, curated newsletters, even a tweet or a Reddit thread, plus essentially every relevant email and document we wrote or received: the key is to collect at scale what we consider strong proxies for valuable information. I eventually settled into a half-baked routine: putting Claude in “plan/pause mode,” where the model is only allowed to browse files, do its research, prepare a strategy, and throw out ideas without discrimination: something major, structural, then 10 useless details as they come. I’ve been able to achieve so much in so little time, and avoided most of the excruciating parts (writing specifications, reading documentation, state management in React, and basically anything frontend & UI-related) while enjoying the fun ones (tinkering with UX, data pipelines, experimenting great tools, and pretty much anything backend-related).
