Marshall Smith’s Post

Big congrats to Dr. Andre Retterath and team on releasing the Data-Driven VC Landscape 2024! My key takeaways are: - There are about 200 Datadriven VCs now, the numbers are growing quickly. - The use of AI and modern tools has decreased the time to perform tasks by 0.8 standard deviations while the quality of output has increased by 0.4! - 80% of DDVCs use a combination of a self-developed and external tech stack. I'm 100% convinced that funds can only hold their position in or get into the top quartile by adopting these practices rather quickly. https://lnkd.in/e79FBXnU

🚀 The #Future of #VentureCapital: Embracing the Moneyball Revolution 🚀 In the high-stakes game of #venturecapital, relationships have always been key. But as Ties Boukema, Data Lead at Dawn Capital, points out, we're on the brink of a Moneyball-style revolution that could change the landscape forever. Boukema, a former data whiz at Google, likens today's VC world to baseball before its data-driven transformation. At the heart of this shift? Relationship intelligence. Dawn Capital’s innovative platform, Rolodex, is leading the charge. It's not just about making connections; it’s about making smart connections. With #AI-driven insights and a comprehensive relationship database, Rolodex helps VCs optimize their networking strategies and uncover hidden opportunities. Imagine automating meeting insights, spotting rising star investors, and getting the best introductions. This isn't the #future — it's happening now with Rolodex Intel, Coverage, and Access. But this isn't just about tech. It's about transforming the industry to be more meritocratic, efficient, and effective. By leveraging data on deal track records and networking velocity, VCs can make better-informed decisions and uncover hidden gems. Boukema’s personal journey — from overcoming medical challenges to pioneering #AI in VC — underscores the blend of human resilience and cutting-edge technology. His vision? A VC world where data enhances, not replaces, human judgment. The Moneyball moment for #venturecapital has arrived. My company, ETA Technologies, is at the forefront of the revolution. We combine the power of psychometric assessment and #AI to help investors identify the highest potential teams to invest in. After all, investors will always invest in people — that is never about to change. 🌟 Thank you for the fantastic article, Forbes and Josipa Majic Predin.
