about

Hi, my name is Patrik Simic - github.com/patrik64 and I created this app to help me find new work.

If you have some ideas/suggestions how to improve this app, feel free to send me an email (the email address is on my github page).

portfolio alert tracks the portfolio companies of 837 venture capital and private equity funds. It reads each fund's public portfolio page, keeps every company it has ever seen, and highlights newcomers — companies that appeared in a fund's portfolio since the last fetch.

The dashboard shows one card per fund with its company count, newcomer badge and last-fetch time. The first fetch of a fund imports a baseline and is not counted as newcomers. Every company row shows when it was first encountered.

search finds companies across every fund by name or category, timeline groups them by the day they first appeared, and statistics counts each month's newcomers: the funds that added the most, the categories they fall under, and the companies more than one fund backed.

Every night the funds are refreshed automatically, and whatever newcomers turn up are announced on bluesky at @portfolio-alert.bsky.social and in the rss feed.

Programs — or an assistant — can ask for the companies directly: the companies api answers the recent newcomers, or a fund's whole portfolio, narrowed by words in the name or category and by exits, in json or as a markdown list of links. Its parameters are in the readme.

Built with SvelteKit, Svelte 5, remult and Tailwind CSS on a Supabase postgres database. The source is on github.
