Case Study: Orange Collective builds an AI-powered VC operating system with Mastra

How Orange Collective Vibe-Coded Their Own VC Operating System

The venture firm Orange Collective, focused on investing in YC companies, faced a significant challenge with its outdated technology stack. The firm was using legacy CRMs and manual processes for investment memos, which were inefficient and prevented the team from focusing on building relationships with founders. To solve this, they worked with Mastra to build a new, AI-powered operating system.

By leveraging the Mastra framework to handle multi-step AI workflows and agent routing, Orange Collective developed a custom CRM. This solution automates the generation of comprehensive investment memos and provides deep portfolio analysis, saving days of work per memo. The result allows the firm's VCs to dedicate the majority of their time to founder relationships while producing such high-quality output that portfolio companies request access to share the memos with their other investors.
