Funding Fit - an agent that tells a solo, non-English-speaking founder which startup programs they can actually apply to

This is a submission for the Sanity Challenge (Path One: an agent on Sanity Context).

Disclosure: this project and this post were built and written by my AI coworker (Arche), working on my behalf. I'm Junyoung Park, a solo founder in Seoul; I don't speak English and I'm not a developer. Everything below was actually run on my PC on Oct 3, 2026 - the numbers are copied from the real outputs.

What I Built

This week I tried to apply to investors and accelerators. Most of my time went to one boring question that every program page answers in a different place:

"Can I even apply?" - Do I need an incorporated company? Do I have to move to San Francisco or sit in an office in Seoul for 11 weeks? Is the interview an English video call? Is there a fee?

Funding Fit answers that question from the programs' official pages only, and it shows the exact sentence it relied on for every fact. It is built for one very specific person (me): solo, no company yet, stays in Korea, can't do English video interviews.

How I Used Sanity

• Knowledge Base (Sanity Context): 14 official sources - a website crawl of Y Combinator's apply/FAQ pages plus 13 Markdown files I made from official pages (Hustle Fund, Betaworks Camp, TheVentures, Founder University, Afore, D.CAMP, FuturePlay, SparkLabs, Antler Korea, Mashup Ventures, Zoom-In Partners, Kakao Ventures). Context organised them into 9 entries: eligibility, korea_programs, global_programs, interviews, program_logistics, program_structure, application_process, investment_terms, comparison.
• The purpose field did a lot of work. I wrote: "Lead with eligibility rules: whether a company is required, remote or in-person (and where), interview format and language, check size, how to apply and deadlines. Out of scope: marketing copy, portfolio news." The generated entries came back as clean per-program bullet lists (- **Incorporation:** ..., - **Residency:** ...), which made grounding easy.
• Context MCP endpoint (funding-fit) with a read-only Context Viewer org token. The agent uses all three tools: initial_context -> knowledge_base_search -> knowledge_base_read.
• Sanity project ID: r0ts6lj0 (organization omt0cu3cw, knowledge base kbbjiFEOCdVH).

How the agent works

All model calls run locally with a small open model (gemma3:4b via Ollama) - free, offline, nothing about me leaves the PC except the search query to Sanity.

1. initial_context -> list of valid entry paths
2. the local model picks entries + English search keywords (JSON)
3. knowledge_base_search for extra recall, then knowledge_base_read per entry
4. split entries into ## Program sections and group them per program (program names come only from the profile entries)
5. per section, the local model extracts 10 fields with a verbatim quote for each (company, in-person, location, English video interview, fee, check size, how to apply, deadline, application language, time to decision)
6. grounding check in code: a value counts only if its quote really appears in the retrieved text and the quote's line is about that topic (e.g. a "company required" value needs incorporat|company|entity on the line)
7. the fit verdict (apply / conditional / excluded) and the final summary are computed by code from verified facts only
8. question filters in code: words in the question (국내 domestic, 한국어 Korean-language, 지금/상시 rolling, 빠른/빨리 fast) switch on extra filters; a candidate is dropped only by a verified fact (e.g. a quoted non-Korean location), and fast questions are sorted by the quoted time-to-decision

Demo (real runs)

Question (asked in Korean)	facts extracted	quote verified	time
Where can I apply alone, without a company, with no overseas on-site participation and no English video interview?	47	39	100 s
Which Korean investors can I apply to in Korean, and how / by when?	66	52	222 s
Where can I apply right now (rolling) and get a fast answer?	68	53	232 s

Output of the first question (Korean, as I read it):

In English: Hustle Fund, TheVentures, FuturePlay and Mashup Ventures have no blocking rule in the sources; Antler Korea is conditional (full-time in-person residency in Seoul); YC (on-site SF + video interview), Founder University (English video sessions + tuition), SparkLabs (company required) and Betaworks Camp (on-site New York) are excluded. Every line above is backed by a quote that the code found in the knowledge base.

What went wrong (and what I changed)

I'm sharing the bugs because they are the interesting part:

1. Headings became "programs". The first run listed "Eligibility Matrix", "Sources" and "Check-Size Comparison" as if they were investors. Fix: program names come only from the profile entries; other sections are merged into a program by name prefix.
2. Real quotes, wrong topic. The model said Hustle Fund has an English video interview and quoted "pitching is the fastest path to getting questions answered" - the sentence exists, but it says nothing about interviews. Fix: the quote's line must contain words for that field. The same rule first broke good answers (Not required... lost its Incorporation: label), so the check looks at the whole source line, not just the quote.
3. The small model invented facts in the final answer. Asked to "summarise only the verified facts", it wrote that FuturePlay requires on-site participation - nothing says that. Fix: the summary is now written by code. The model only reads and quotes; it never decides eligibility.
4. Every question got the same answer. In my first published version the question only chose which entries to read, so a question about Korean-language, domestic investors still listed US-based Hustle Fund, and "fast" wasn't ranked. Fix: filters read from the question (step 8). Hustle Fund now lands in outside your conditions with the quoted reason, and question 3 ranks TheVentures (1 business day) first. The first fast run sorted "24-48 hours" last because my parser had no hour unit - one more line.
5. Long sources -> empty JSON. Antler Korea came back with zero facts because the 4B model's JSON got cut off. Fix: one small extraction per section, then merge (a verified value beats an unverified one). Antler now comes out right: no company needed, full-time in-person in Seoul, no fees, rolling.

Limitations (honest)

• Question filters are keyword rules for 4 conditions only (domestic, Korean-language, rolling, fast). Anything else in the question still only steers which entries are read.
• The sources rarely state the application language, so for Korean investors the agent says "application language: no evidence" instead of guessing - correct, but not very helpful.
• Question 1 was run before the two new fields existed (8 fields); questions 2 and 3 are runs of the current code (10 fields).
• "Not in sources" is common. It's the honest answer, but it means you still have to read some pages yourself.
• Sources are a snapshot of official pages from Oct 3, 2026. This is not legal or investment advice - check the program page before applying.
• A 4B local model is slow (100-200 s per question on my laptop) and sometimes misses a fact one run and finds it the next.
