Content Farm

Editorial workflows that turn raw research into investor-grade narrative — at the cadence and quality of an analyst or thought leader.

Part of: Performance Content Development

Why this exists

Most VC content is either polished-but-late (a quarterly memo) or fast-but-shallow (a tweet thread). Content Farm asks: what would it look like to produce one substantive, defensible piece per week — with citations, with a point of view, with the same intellectual standards we'd apply to a deal memo?

The bet is that agentic tooling collapses the parts that are tedious (transcript wrangling, citation formatting, draft scaffolding) so a single principal can ship at a frequency that previously required a small editorial team.

What we're building

  1. Research-to-outline loop — agentic synthesis of long-form research into a navigable outline that a human edits before any prose is generated.

  2. Cite-aware drafting — every generated sentence is tagged to its source; broken or weak citations fail the draft at build time.

  3. Editorial styleguide as code — house style rules expressed as lintable rules, not PDF style guides.

  4. Publish surface integration — clean handoff into the site's content collections (no copy-paste).

Working group expectations

  • Show up for some bi-weekly check-ins. Attempt to use various tools, including homegrown projects. Bring your drafts, show your output, share your wins and struggles.

  • Develop original content that makes you proud, and share frustrations and shortcomings.

  • Maintain high expectations for quality and rigor, as you would a professional analyst or visible thought leader.

  • A bonus if you are willing to publish content as a guest on relevant sites.

Current focus

  • Obsidian plugins for research-to-outline and cite-aware drafting.

    • Currently have working prototypes:

      • Perplexed: a research-to-outline-to-draft tool: uses Perplexity API. or Perplexical on local machine to use an outline, do research, and make initial drafts.

      • Cite-Wide: citation-aware editing and validation: uses parsers to extract citations from drafts, instantly renumber, and manage unique citations across many files.

  • Lossless Flavored Markdown: a comprehensive markdown extension for academic, financial, and technical writing that can be rendered beautifully on the web. See Lossless Flavored Markdown for the shared package.
