Schedule Runway Alerts
Portfolio runway is hard to track across dozens of companies, and catching a cash crunch late is costly. With Claude’s new scheduled tasks feature and the Standard Metrics MCP, firms can now set up automated runway alerts and get notified where they’re already working, like Slack. Set these alerts up today to maximize portfolio returns, eliminate manual monitoring, and get ahead of cash crises before they become fire drills.
How to set this up
Tools
- Claude
- Standard Metrics MCP. See here for set up details.
- Slack connector (and a Slack destination already created)
Prompt used in the video:
Check Standard Metrics every Monday and send a message to #runway-alerts if any of our portfolio companies have less than 6 months of runway
Tips
- Adjust the lookahead window (30, 60, 90 days) and the cadence (daily, weekly) to match how your team likes to triage.
