LATO on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: The best investments come from conviction, and conviction comes from understanding a market deeply: its customers, its competitors, and where it's heading. Today that understanding is slow and expensive to build. Reaching the right people takes weeks, a commercial study costs $300k+, and each one starts from scratch. LATO does this research end-to-end, combining public data and the fund's own knowledge with first-hand interviews of a market's consumers, experts, and operators. This research grounds a simulation of the market to predict how market participants behave. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "LATO runs the primary and secondary research behind a deal: expert and customer interviews, public data, and your fund" (source)

Who is behind it

  • Tymek Staniszewski, Founder/CEO: Co-Founder at LATO - agentic deal diligence for institutional investors. Previously 6 years in growth and private equity at Verdane ($11B AUM). (source)
  • Tien Chu, Founder/CTO: Co-Founder at LATO (S26), the agent-native research and simulation platform for investors. Previously ML and SWE across enterprise R&D, research labs, and early-stage startups. Studied CS, Math, and Philosophy at University of Warsaw. (source)
