Researchers have developed a new collective agent system called SimVC-CAS to predict startup success by simulating venture capital decision-making as a multi-agent interaction process. This system utilizes role-playing agents with distinct traits and a graph neural network (GNN) to capture both company fundamentals and investor network dynamics. Experiments using proprietary and public VC data demonstrated a significant improvement in predictive performance, achieving approximately a 25% relative increase in average precision@10, and highlighted the system's interpretability by analyzing agent reasoning.
